Worx WG520 Turbine600 20V 600 CFM Electric Handheld Corded Leaf Blower

I ordered this Worx vacuum-leaf blower and today was the day I put it to the test. I am more than pleased with this product. I am a huge Worx fan and own quite a few Worx tools, but this one just made my day. The ease of the process to vacuum up my leaves directly into the can makes life easy, and with the flip of a switch I go straight to blower mode to help with the clean up. I can't say enough how easy it was to use and that I am happy that I made the purchase. Worx always has my back and they have my vote for best in the business for home DIYer's like me.

My Worx 12 amp corded (110 volt a/c) 400 CFM 250 mph leaf blower produces the speed and volume of air I wanted it to & does what I want it to. I researched leaf blowers, looking for the most powerful corded blower on the market, and found this Worx model to be the most powerful, and what I was looking for. I was not disappointed. In fact, I plan to buy another soon.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved the simple design of the leaf blower converting to the vacuum. I wish the blower itself had a shoulder strap it gets very heavy after a while of work. The leaf collection system is ok. It saved some time but the strap that holds the tube on the adapter wasnt tight enough and the adapter came out of the tube. The tube kept coming out of the bag as well until i untied it and ran the string up over the tube itself. I think you need to do a better job with keeping the hose attached to the leaf collection system. Other than that it was great. Plenty of power and had no issues with wet leaves.

I bought this corded blower as a replacement to a Ridgid vac/blower I had been using when that motor burned out. It was actually the second Rigid I had because ether first one burned out too. I realized that while convenient, the motor is in a vertical position while blowing causing strain on the bearings while swinging back and forth blowing leaves due ti the centrifugal force. I decided to look for dedicated corded blower because cordless just can't come near the CFM/MPH combination of a corded and I also didn't want to deal with batteries dying halfway through a job. After a lot of research and reading hundreds of reviews, I settled on the Worx 600. I actually purchased their manufacturer refurbished to save some money but it looked brand new when I received it. It just comes in a plain cardboard box with the battery and charger but that's no big deal to me. At first I didn't think the variable speed was really needed as my old one had only 1 speed and it worked fine for me but now that I have it, tt does provided more control of debris while clearing out the garage or around flower beds. On full speed this is a very powerful blower, clearing off those Maple tree helicopters from my driveway with ease they tend to stick flat to the cement are and hard to move). So far, I like this blower a lot and would recommend it but I'll update this in the fall when I have to blow a ton of oak and maple leaves in my yard.

I did comparison tests between my older Toro electric, a gas blower, and this unit on leaves in my front and back heavily treed yard. The 600 was capable of blowing leaves from about 20 feet away, while the other models only did what was within about 10 feet; making the job about twice as fast. I also purchased the WG517 rated at 450 of air power, which honestly proved just about equal, since the front has a small reduction piece which acts as a constrictor to increase its efficiency. I prefer the electric because it's ALWAYS going to work, without the need of recharging or replacing a battery, and gas with ethanol can go stale, or cause problems if not stored properly. I have about 1/4 acre, so an extension cord is NO problem. I also purchased the 4093 Roof Gutter Leaf Cleaner attachment, since it has the adjustment cup to fit the Turbine blowers; but haven't tried it yet (The 4092 is the same, less one piece.) I was VERY IMPRESSED with these units, their prices, light weight, lower noise level, and SUPERIOR power!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE UNITS. I didn't enclose pictures, but my ground is level, with tall oak trees, and did this test on dry leaves, and a few days later on many wet leaves as well. Great results... I purchased a few of these units to try, and then give one to my daughter. Elliot

This thing is really HUGE!, but light weight, and it has a Hurricane trapped in there, because it is very powerful, enought to move leaves, dirt and other objects, the box it comes in is small and you think its go9ng to be small, but No!! it is a Monster machine, and works perfect! Yes its corded, but power was the reason, pretty difficult to get Value and performance at this price.

This blower is fabulous! With the variable speed control you are able to move from a gentle breeze to all the blowing power you should ever need for your lawn. Moved all the leaves on my heavily covered lawn with ease. Also got out my ladder and used to blow out my gutters. Definitely better than using the rake!

As an active 63 year old I have gone thru many blowers over the years. In South Texas the Live Oak tree leaves are a chore to deal with and after my SV blower finally burned out I wasn't sure I would find a suitable replacement. I found the Worx Turbine 600 online and watched the videos and read the reviews and although I was skeptical I ordered it. When I first tried it I couldn't believe the volume of air and the thrust it produced because of its straight line turbine action. The 2 year standard warranty plus 1 more year if you register the product was compelling as well. One other tip, to get the full power of any electric blower make sure you have a heavy enough gauge extension cord. The worst thing you can do to any electric motor is to use an under sized cord such as 18 or 16 gauge. Doing so will ensure overheating and a much shorter service life. Since I needed at least 100 ft for my purposes, I bought a new 12 ga. extension cord which is delivering full power even for extended use. This blower did indeed exceed my expectations. If anyone is thinking about a very powerful electric leaf blower the Turbine 600 is it.

I purchased my Worx Turbine 600 Electric Leaf Blower (Model WG520) late last year (2017) after thoroughly researching it and similar leaf blowers in it`s class. I wanted to wait in commenting on it`s performance till I had used it 4 or 5 times in dry, wet, and "in between" conditions. I have yet to use any rechargeable electric devise that performed well over a reasonable length of time (before losing power and needing a recharge)--thus my decision to go with a CORDED Worx leaf blower. My property necessitates the use of (1) 100 foot, and (1) 50 foot 12 gauge/3 prong extension cords to run this 15 amp tool properly. Living on the mid-coast of Oregon, my biggest concern was dislodging and moving large amounts of compacted damp/wet pine needles from the pavement. Even when dry, these needles seem "glued" to cement or macadam. I am pleased to announce that this machine handles dry/damp pine needles, grass cuttings, leafs, twigs, and pebbles quite easily--and I have yet to use FULL POWER ! Any mass of damp/wet needles that don`t budge, only need a quick brush with a push broom, then a second blow, and they are GONE. I am a disabled senior man who suffers with back and abdominal issues. Although not particularly heavy, the Worx Turbine 600 Electric Leaf Blower "feels bulky" and has a large, wide, thick handgrip for my smaller hands. By the time I have finished blowing 150 feet of my fence line, my back, hand and wrist are "strongly suggesting" that it is time to quit for the day ! My BOTTOM LINE: this machine has plenty of power for most applications, performs as advertised, leaves my property looking "professionally groomed," and by doing my own yards, the Worx Turbine 600 should "pay for itself" within 5 or 6 uses. I would recommend it to anyone--especially if they have a healthy back, medium-sized+ hands, and normal energy levels. This machine is definitely not a small, lite, flickable toy; rather, a NICELY-ENGINEERED and powerful garden tool.

In my opinion, as a women, I feel like it needs a stabilizing handle on the side to help steady the motor (which is a bit heavy) when vacuuming.
