    Powerful, but Big and Slightly Heavy

    This thing is really powerful. No problem blowing heavy and even wet leaves. It is definitely the most powerful blower I have ever used. In fact, it is so powerful that it provides a variable motor so that you can slow it down if you don’t need the full air flow. A cool feature that I have also never seen on a blower. While the blower is plastic, it does seem well built and no doubt will last a long time. The cord is very short, but has a cool bracket on the end to wind an extension cord through so that the extension cord stays plugged in. This thing is large. Not unwieldy large, but it is quite big. I would prefer something smaller, but maybe the size is necessary to obtain the power it has. The unit is also not that light. I wouldn’t say it is heavy, but definitely feels so after using it for a while. Again, probably a trade off for the power. It did not come with any types of attachments. The end of the spout is round. An attachment the would snap on and have a flat type of end would be nice. The biggest issue I have with this blower is the intake. It is on the back of the unit and pretty much the full size of the back. On many occasions it would suck my t-shirt right up against the intake. Because the suction is so strong to provide such power, and with the intake on the back where you normally would have it fairly close to your clothes, it easily sucks any lighter clothing against the intake. This was very annoying.

    Incredibly Powerful

    I simply cannot believe how powerful this blower is - fortunately it has two more speeds less forceful than the highest that may be easily selected using the same rolling switch. The highest power setting produces a small tornado of wind power. This unit arrives with the blower tube detached for more compact shipping but it is easy to attach. You will have to provide your own power cord. You should attach it using the provided loop holder in order to prevent accidental unplugging. I found the unit to be light enough with a nicely shaped grip that allowed long term use without it getting too burdensome. I don't have many leaf producing trees on my lawn, so I did not have a chance to test how well it blows leaves, but I do have lots of spider webs and the associated dead bugs on my front porch. After using this blower to eliminate all of those spiders, webs, and bug carcasses from my front porch, I had to replace the door mats that got blown away along with the detritus. I also used this blower to clean out my garage. Simply unbelievably powerful!

    Favorite New Yard Tool

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    When it was said that “the power is in your hands”, they were talking about this blower. The Worx WG521 is by far one of my favorite new yard tools. It’s very simple and pretty compact as it comes with a simple tube attachment to clip onto the fan housing, making it easy to store anywhere in your garage without making a large oddly shaped footprint. Weighing only 6.6lbs, it’s quite easy to move around for any task without causing strain. Also, it’s fully electric. The unit is rated at 12A so it doesn’t draw too much current. Also, it comes with a 3-year limited warranty. Now for the most important part, is it any good? Well, I have a gas powered leaf blower which attaches to motor body, which is almost as long as a string trimmer and at best, may be about 1/2-3/4 as powerful as this unit. The WG521 simply blows it out of the water. This unit has variable speed control which comes in super handy when you don’t want to blow something away with full force. Sometimes you only need to give leaves or debris a little encouragement to move, not propel it to the next county. So, having the ability to adjust and control the amount of output is definitely excellent. However, once you turn it to its highest setting the performance will be felt and seen. It almost feels like holding a gyroscope in full rotation as the blower pulls your arm back as it kicks out tons of air. I was extremely surprised by the output. One word of advice, don’t hold it too close if you’re wearing loose fitting clothing as the back of the fan needs to pull in air, and will pull your clothing to the back of the housing and block the opening. This is a very minor observation, If I had to pick out any downside to this item. Otherwise, I literally have 0 negative to say about it. I would recommend this to anyone in need of a good blower, whether it’s to dry your car after a wash, blowing out your gutters, tidying up after cutting the lawn, or anything else. 5 stars from me!

    The Worx blower makes Work easier.

    It's Fall, so it's the perfect time to have a new blower. This one blows me away with its powerful 135 mph (800 cfm) turbine motor. Unboxing and assembly is simple. There really is nothing to it. Comes in two pieces and they just snap together and there is only one way to put it together so you cant get it wrong. It weighs 6.6 pounds and is corded/electric so you will need an extension cord to use this Worx blower. This has a thumb wheel on the handle to adjust the speed from 70 mph up to 135 mph It's in a good spot and can be done with just your one hand. I was pleasantly surprised by the bit of kick it has when you turn it on...a good amount of force. Seems well built and sturdy. Feels good in the hand/comfortable and easy to maneuver. I have a large tree in my front yard. Once all the leaves have fallen, it usually takes a few hours and 8 large bags to get rid of the leaves. There were a few on the ground the day I received the blower, it made it easy to get them out of my yard. On the highest setting it was blowing more than just the leaves, small sticks and other tree debris was getting pushed by the force of this blower. It left my yard looking great. I cannot wait to have a yard full of leaves now that I have this. I will mow and weed whack one or two more times this year and instead of the broom cleaning the sidewalk and garage I now have this blower to do the job. The price is so good at 90.00. You need this blower if you get a lot of leaves in your yard!!

    The Worx WG521 packs a punch. Does not disappoint when cleaning up your yard. There are 4 power settings. When you get the the 3rd and 4th power setting you can feel the unit blowing back showing its power. Compare to the Worx cordless leaf blower, this unit blows it out of the wate with the additional two power settings. Yes the down fall is that you will need a fairly long extension cord, but in all honesty I have found cordless options lack luster with power as well as the battery life. Running in full power barely got me 20 mins which does not do the job when you have a larger yard and or a lot of trees to take care of in the Fall season. I also used this to clear out the out my garage floors which handled the job like a champ. One thing to consider is fatigue. It is not heavy per se, but I can see a long job or people with less strength getting fatigue using the unit. The blow back pressure and the weight can add up. Perhaps a shoulder strap addition would be helpful but I think it does a great job and highly recommend.

    So much power

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The WORX WG521 12 Amp 800 CFM Corded Blower is the real deal. I have never used a blower with so much power prior to using this blower. Once I received the blower, I put it together, which was only one step: attach the blower tube to the blower. No tools required. You'll hear a click once it's locked in place. Next, grab a power cord and plug it into the blower. It's ready to go. The blower comes with two different levels; high and low....and low in most cases is more than enough power to blow grass clippings and leaves with ease. If you need more power, simply adjust the power button on the top of the blower to high and the blower will amp up. The box and booklet state the speed on high is 135MPH. I'm just going to take their word on that. The blower also comes with a cord retainer on the end to keep the cord from tangling up and to provide some separation between the blower and yourself. This blower is easy to use and I will be giving away my current blower now that I have made this upgrade. I highly recommend it.

    The WORX WG521 Corded blower is well-built and simply amazing blower. I am not an expert when it comes to blowers, but this thing is crazy. It is hefty and much larger than I thought it would be. Setting this big boy up is easy. Just clip on the tube, grab an extension cord and you are ready to get some things done. The cord provided is super short so you will need to supply the extension. It does have a plastic piece so you can loop your cord through and lock it in place. When I first turned this blower on it pushed me back a little and I was actually slightly startled at the power. Once I got used to it, I cranked it up and it immediately started blowing things off my work bench and nearby table. It was awesome! I used it to clean off my driveway and blow some grass clippings and it worked very well. The rocks and larger debris was no problem at all. I also used it to dry off my truck after a wash. Very versatile, powerful and a blast to use. If you are looking for a blower just buy this one!

    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.

    Three Little Pigs...

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    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.

    Lack of secondary handle/pommel is a bummer

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    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.
