Description
This 40V leaf blower offers gas-like performance and runtime. It’s a unique combination of power & portability, unlike anything else on the market.
Zoom on the Worx WG585
With its cordless handheld design, the Worx WG585 is best suited to homeowners with home properties that are not too small or too large, often in the quarter- to half-acre range.
It features a maximum air speed of 125 MPH and a maximum air volume rating of 620 cubic feet per minute (CFM). These values mean that it should manage everyday yard leaves rather efficiently, but also have the power to handle denser material or small piles of heavier debris across lawns, patios, and garden paths.
The WG585 is equipped with a 40V brushless motor and runs on battery power, enabling mobility without a cord. Worx claims that it can deliver power of a 27-cc gas blower. It comes with two 20V 4.0Ah batteries, and all batteries are required for operation. When fully charged, they should provide up to 40 minutes of runtime.
The Worx WG585 boasts 3 speed settings and a turbo button, granting users control over airflow intensity for diverse tasks.
This blower weighs 3.8 lbs as a bare tool and 6.6 lbs with the two batteries, this handheld blower makes one-handed operation straightforward.

The Worx WG585's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Worx WG585 compare with handheld leaf blowers of similar voltage (between 36 and 48V).
- At only 3.8 lbs (bare tool), the Worx WG585 offers a lighter option within the cordless handheld blowers in the 36 to 48V range. Should weight be a deciding factor, the Black+Decker LSW40C is worth a look at just 2.4 lbs the bare tool.
- Maxing out at 125 MPH, this blower ranks on the lower end in terms of air speed for battery-operated handheld blowers between 36 and 48V. For the fastest air speed in this category, you may want to consider the Husqvarna 350iB, which can expell air at a velocity that can reach 200 MPH.
- Worx WG585 boasts an impressive airflow, reaching 620 CFM (Cubic Foot per Minute), positioning it amongst the most powerful cordless handheld blowers with a comparable voltage. If air volume is important to you, the Husqvarna 350iB, with 800 CFM, could be in your good books.
- When fully charged, the WG585 offers up to 40 minutes of autonomy, which may be considered relatively short compared to cordless handheld units of comparable voltage. To enjoy the best possible autonomy in this category, you could have a look at the Makita CBU01Z which offers up to 300 minutes of runtime.
- Because larger batteries naturally increase runtime, it can be helpful to consider runtime efficiency, a measure of how effectively a blower uses the energy available. At its measured figures, the Worx WG585 provides an average runtime efficiency, similar to many battery-powered handheld blowers. If runtime efficiency matters most to you, you might look at the SKIL BL0460C-11, which delivers a higher runtime efficiency of 0.75 minutes per Wh.
