WORX WG520 12 Amp Turbine 600 Electric Leaf Blower

I can’t say enough good things about the WORX WG520! This thing is an absolute beast—600 CFM of pure blowing power. It cleared my yard in record time, and even tackled wet leaves and pine needles like a champ. I love the two-speed control, especially the low setting for corners and flower beds. It’s lightweight and ergonomic, so my arms weren’t sore afterward, even after 30+ minutes of use. For a corded blower, this is as close to perfect as it gets. Highly recommend for anyone tired of underpowered tools—this one gets the job DONE.

This WORX WG520 12 Amp Turbine 600 Electric Leaf Blower is an excellent, and powerful product that does as advertised and completely blasts away whatever it's pointed at.I got this product mostly to use as a drying aid when washing my cars, but also to just to clear off the backyard patio and blow out the garage occasionally. For this use-case this product has been absolutely stellar.I 3D printed a smaller nozzle that has a more directed, concentrated flow of air for when I'm using this to dry off my car and it has worked much better than the standard long nozzle, I saw some for sale before deciding to DIY with my own 3D printer, and it was a great way to save some money and make this even more effective at car drying.The power this has at full speed is absolutely incredible, it almost feels like it's about to fly away and I have to really clamp down on gripping it. This isn't for the weak of heart, controlling this without banging it against your car will take some time to get used to especially if you aren't a frequent gym goer.This has worked for everything I've needed to use it for and the price was great as well for this level of performance. It may not be as portable as a cordless blower, but it is certainly far more powerful than any cordless blower I've used in the past. The one thing I'll mention is make sure you have a good heavy duty extension cord to power this, 12 awg would be ideal especially if you're using a longer extension cord, you certainly don't want to burn out the motor by starving this thing of power with a 16 awg cord or something like that.Overall, I'm very impressed by this product and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an insanely powerful blower, this thing is like holding on to a jet engine. 5/5 stars.

The media could not be loaded. Every year, we get a lot of pine needles up on our roof, which then eventually washes down and plugs up our gutters. Cleaning gutters is a chore I seem to do way too often, so whatever I can do to lessen that job, I will not hesitate to do. Last year, I used a push broom to clean off needles so the gutters would be clear all winter, and the job took me about 90 minutes. Pine needles on a roof aren't the easiest thing to clean, for they have a tendency to stick to the shingles, and stick they sure do. Thinking that there must be an easier way to clean off those needles and that the less time spent up on a roof is definitely a plus for my health, I started looking into electric leaf blowers with the hopes that blowing off the needles would be quicker. . .and easier. We have a gas powered leaf blower, but that is so noisy, heavy, pollutes and doesn't seem to blow all that well, so I decided to try a corded one and found this. . .Upon my first test run. . .I have to say. . .this thing blows, and much more so than I had anticipated. Some reviewers said this leaf blower doesn't have much power. "Not much power??" I thought after turning it on. "Eh. . .this leaf blower has more blowing power than anything I've ever been exposed to," I further contemplated. In fact, when I tested this out in our garage, blowing out leaves dust and other particulate matter, I didn't even have to move from the back, just stood still and blew everything out the door, 28 feet in length. Maybe the people who stated that this lacks blowing power received a defective one. . .or, perhaps, were trying to blow something unreasonable, like boulders. Compared to our gas powered blower, this corded ones has three times the power and is quieter to boot (albeit still loud).I also tested this blowing leaves and pine needles in our yard, which it did quite effectively, for most part. The only thing it wouldn't blow were leaves and pine needles that were embedded below the top the grass, but I don't think any blower would be effective at blowing particulate matter like that. With embedded material on a lawn, the only thing that will work is old. . . fashioned. . .raking.As for the roof job. . .It worked better than expected. The job that took me 90 minutes with a broom, but only 25 minutes with this blower. The main concern was tripping on the cord and falling. . .which I did remain very mindful of the whole time. The last thing I want to do is test out my flying abilities. The 75 foot, 14 gauge extension cord I used was just right for the whole length of our house and attached garage. And being that the blower only weighs 6 lbs., carrying it up a ladder was easy to do.And for those of you who are wondering about what kind of extension cord you may need, your light-duty 16 gauge extension cord will suffice (don't go less than that or else cord will heat up too much). Sixteen gauge cords can be used for any equipment 12 amps or less (this blower is 12 amps) given that the distance is less than 50 feet. However, if you plan on going over that 50 feet, then you most certainly should use a 14 gauge medium-duty cord for this leaf blower like I did. And, of course, make sure the cord is rated for outside use.This is a very powerful leaf blower for the size and seemingly well built. It weighs only 6 lbs., but since it blows with such force (on high) it has a bit of recoil. So if you don't have a lot of arm and shoulder strength, it could be a little too much for you for prolonged jobs. But if you can handle it, it should succeed at whatever you need blowing, that is, as long as it is something reasonable.For me, It worked perfectly, better than what I had expected--five stars.

I bought the WORX WG520 expecting a solid leaf blower, but what I got was a leaf apocalypse. This thing is so powerful it practically launches leaves into the next county. My neighbors think I’ve hired a professional landscaping crew, but nope—it’s just me and my trusty turbine.I used it to clear my driveway, and now it’s so clean NASA asked to use it as a backup landing strip. I’ve also discovered it works as a makeshift hairdryer if you’re feeling brave. Pro tip: don’t aim it at your dog unless you want to see what a windswept golden retriever looks like.Pros:Incredible power—seriously, you’ll feel like Thor wielding a leaf-slaying hammer.Lightweight and easy to handle. My arms are intact despite wielding this beast.Surprisingly quiet for its strength, though my neighbors might disagree.Cons:Too effective—my yard is so spotless I’m now suspicious of a leaf conspiracy.The “low” setting feels more like “medium hurricane.”Didn’t come with a superhero cape, which seems like a missed opportunity.If you want to dominate fall cleanup and maybe scare some squirrels in the process, this is your blower. Just don’t point it at anything you love unless you want it relocated!
