It is really strong. It works well and easy to use

I love it! It's blows so fast and so powerful and so much better and lighter than my last battery-powered leaf blower.

Seems to be well made exceedingly powerful blower. Have used for several hours on multiple occasions since purchase and it performs as well, if not better, than expected. Comes with a 3 year warranty, so if it keeps performing with no issues I will be ecstatic. Also happy that I managed to purchase on sale for $69.

The three little pigs would not survive in the brick house if the big bad wolf had this electric blower! 135MPH at full power is crazy. Consequently, I should mention that at full power, this leaf blower is actually a bit difficult to control. Worx should have added a second handle to help hold/guide the blower. The kickback is pretty strong at 100% power, but manageable at the middle setting--which still moves leaves with relative ease. The lowest setting is solid for "sweeping" patios, driveways, etc. and can move smaller, lighter patio furniture and decorations if you are not careful. Another note of caution: Do not wear loose, baggy clothing as the fan can easily pull athletic shorts or other nylon material (like a windbreaker) toward the fan element. There is a cover preventing clothing from getting sucked all the way in, but multiple times I noticed part of my clothing "stuck" to the blower when it was on. As for noise, yeah, it is loud but probably quieter than most gas-powered models. I wear noise canceling over-the-ear headphones (and listen to music) while operating the blower which dramatically cuts down on the noise I hear but my guess is the neighbors weren't super thrilled I was blowing leaves while they were having a cookout. Overall, this blower is incredibly powerful and with the exception of a second handle to help control it at full blast, this thing is great! I would highly recommend it assuming you have the upper body strength to control it.

The Worx WG521 is a powerful corded leaf blower, but the lack of a secondary handle or pommel makes it look lackluster compared to other options. [ Pros ] - Good power-to-price ratio, comparable to similar options I’ve seen. - It tested well on leaves, and grass and weed trimmings. It only really got caught up with leaves in bushes and among various plants. - The rheostatic wheel allows fine-grained control over the fan speed and is easy to access and operate (by thumb while holding the blower). [ Cons ] - My biggest gripe by far is the lack of a pommel or secondary handle(s) for two-handed operation; this is a very common feature in competing products. Full fan speed produces considerable push-back which can be tiring to fight against with single-handed operation. I really don’t understand this design choice, and it greatly detracts from the appeal of the blower for me. - Lacks finesse. The wide nozzle is fine for blowing stuff away, but makes it a bit more difficult to corral debris into a tight area, or to have fine control around things you don’t want to blow away or overwhelm (mulch, plants, etc.) It would have been nice to have an optional narrower nozzle, but I didn’t see such an option on the Worx website.

Even on low, this thing really packs a punch! When I first fired it up, I was immediately surprised by the force of the wind coming out of it... then I turned it up! I couldn't believe how much air came out of the nozzle! It handles a huge amount of air - just don't let loose clothing get too close to the intake - don't ask how I know! You could almost use a second handle to help control the recoil from the blast of air exiting the end of the nozzle. The clip on the cord really helps tie it into the extension cord, something I have learned to do with my old blower. It can be a pain to try to move around, only to have the cord unplug because a little too much pressure was placed on it - this clip should help with that. The switch to control the air flow is intuitive, so it is easy to get up and running almost immediately after removing it from the box and snapping the two large pieces together. My last blower was getting tired and I think I lent it to a friend who "forgot" to return it. I'm kind of glad, since this thing is so much better than that one was! I now have a tool that can blow leaves almost across the yard from one side!

The Worx WG521 corded blower is exactly what you need for any sort of prosumer-level blowing, with the added bonus that, with a cord, you never run out of power for the device. Sometimes it is worth considering a tool that is not beholden to a battery, and this device is definitely one of those types. This is a solid blower and comes in two parts. You basically attach the solid plastic nose to the blower engine, then attach an extension cord to the blower housing, and you are good to go. There appeared to be three speeds used by way of a relatively stiff rocker switch, where you will really have to hold onto the device at full force. With the power that this will afford you, you will have no problems either clearing several hundred square feet in minutes or even simply drying off the same amount of area. As mentioned, this is a very solid device and should be expected to last for many years to come. The blower even happens to look pretty good, too — the engine compartment looks like something off of a jet airplane! I definitely recommend buying this blower.
