The WORX Cordless Leaf Blower WG547 is the straightforward entry point to the WORX 20V blower range. The listing rates it at up to 360 CFM and 75 MPH, driven by what WORX calls turbine fan technology, which produces a wide stream of air suited to sweeping dry leaves and clippings off hard surfaces rather than prying wet mats out of turf.

At 4.4 lbs with the battery and a rated 55 dB, it is the kind of tool you grab for five minutes after mowing, not the one you plan a Saturday around. Two speeds cover light work near flower beds and heavier piles on the drive. The kit includes one battery and a charger; the style name lists a 2.0Ah pack. One oddity: the specification table lists “Speed: 75 cfm”, which reads like a mix-up with the 75 MPH figure, so treat 360 CFM and 75 MPH as the headline numbers.

It suits owners of small yards, townhouse patios and garages. If you regularly deal with damp leaves, the WG543 below gives up nothing on weight and adds a much faster speed mode.

• Up to 360 CFM and 75 MPH
• Two-speed control
• 4.4 lbs with battery, rated 55 dB
• Includes blower, battery and charger

The WORX Cordless Leaf Blower WG543 is the performance-minded 20V option. Its variable air-control nozzle slides between a volume mode rated up to 410 CFM for open areas and a speed mode rated up to 130 MPH for wet leaves and heavier debris. The listing also quotes 7.3 newtons of blowing force from its sonic turbine fan, and a brushless motor that WORX calls “2.0”.

The standout for everyday use is weight: 3.8 lbs, light enough to run one-handed. It also ships with a 4.0Ah PowerShare Pro battery rather than a 2.0Ah pack, which gives it more energy on board (the listing gives 80 watt-hours against 40 for the WG547). The trade-off is noise, rated at 65 dB, the highest figure among these listings.

This is the 20V model to pick if you want one light blower that can still handle damp leaves on a lawn edge. Owners of large properties with deep leaf cover will still be better served by the 40V models.

• Volume mode up to 410 CFM, speed mode up to 130 MPH
• Brushless motor and two-speed switch
• 3.8 lbs
• Includes 20V 4.0Ah PowerShare Pro battery and charger

If raw power is the goal, the WORX Cordless Leaf Blower WG582 is the top of this lineup. The listing rates it at up to 780 CFM and 190 MPH, nearly double the air volume of the strongest 20V model here. WORX pitches it at users who want maximum cordless blowing force for large lawns, thick leaves and hard-surface cleanup.

It runs a brushless motor with variable-speed control and a Turbo setting, and despite the output the rated noise level is 57 dB. The package uses two 4.0Ah batteries, which is how the 40V models work on PowerShare: two 20V packs combined. That extra hardware brings the weight to 8.9 lbs, the heaviest here, so expect to feel it in longer sessions. The listing does not specify a runtime figure, only that lower settings extend it.

Pick the WG582 for big properties, heavy seasonal drops and open areas. For small patios it is overkill, and the lighter 20V models will be more pleasant to carry. If you are also building out a battery lineup for edging, our look at the WORX string trimmer range covers tools that share these same packs.

• Up to 780 CFM and 190 MPH
• Brushless motor, variable speed with Turbo
• Rated 57 dB
• Two 4.0Ah batteries

The WORX Cordless Leaf Blower WG581.1 is the other WORX 40V blower, trading some headline airflow for more control. It is rated at up to 530 CFM, and its dual-tube design lets you choose a larger tube for air volume or a smaller tube for air speed. On top of that you get three speeds plus Turbo, so you can go gentle near beds and decks and then open up on compacted grass.

The listing is inconsistent on top speed: the feature bullets and description say up to 170 MPH, while the specification table says 180 MPH. We would plan around the lower number. It shares the brushless motor claims and 57 dB rating with the WG582, and weighs 7.7 lbs with battery, a little lighter than its sibling. The style name indicates two 4.0Ah batteries.

It suits owners of larger yards with plenty of landscaping, where precise control matters as much as raw push. If your priority is clearing a wide lawn as fast as possible, the WG582 moves significantly more air.

• Up to 530 CFM
• Dual-tube air control for volume or speed
• 3-speed control plus Turbo
• 7.7 lbs with battery, rated 57 dB

The WORX Cordless Leaf Blower WG545.1 is less a leaf blower and more a compact sweeper. Rated at up to 120 MPH and 180 CFM, it is built for light-duty work, and WORX says plainly that it is not meant for heavy seasonal leaf piles. What it offers instead is versatility: the box includes nine attachments, among them a wide nozzle, dust and detail brushes, an extension hose, a dust tube and an inflator nozzle with a deflation cover, all in an accessory bag.

At 3.5 lbs with battery, it is the lightest leaf blower in this group. The focused airflow targets sawdust, grass clippings and dust in corners, on workbenches and around the garage. As with the WG547, the spec table has a unit slip (“Speed: 120 cfm”), so read 120 MPH and 180 CFM as the intended figures.

It is the pick for workshop owners and anyone whose “yard” is mostly a garage, deck and walkway. For precision dusting of electronics, the WX099L below is far more focused.

• Up to 120 MPH, 180 CFM
• Nine attachments including an inflator nozzle
• 3.5 lbs with battery

For this site’s readers, the WORX Cordless Blower Inflator WX099L is the most interesting model on the list. It is a compact handheld unit with a very narrow, very fast stream: the listing claims up to 470 MPH and 39 CFM, from a brushless motor spinning at up to 77,200 rpm. That combination is useless for a lawn and ideal for pushing dust out of heatsink fins, GPU shrouds, console vents and keyboard gaps.

You get four digitally controlled speeds with a variable-speed trigger, so you can start gentle on delicate components. Three nozzle tips are included: two blowing nozzles in different sizes and one for inflating, which covers pool floats, air mattresses and similar. WORX quotes up to 21 minutes of runtime on one 20V 2.0Ah battery, and the listing states the battery and charger are included. It measures about 3.1 by 6.1 by 8.8 inches; the listing does not specify its weight.

When dusting a PC, hold fans still so they do not overspin, work in short bursts and keep the nozzle a few inches away. If you need to clear leaves as well, pair it with one of the leaf blowers above rather than expecting it to do both.

• Up to 470 MPH and 39 CFM
• Four speeds with variable trigger
• Three nozzles, including one for inflating
• Up to 21 minutes on a 2.0Ah battery
