WORX WG547 20V 360 CFM 75 MPH leaf blower kit review

A small-yard blower kit with a clear ceiling

The WORX WG547 is the base 20V kit in a family of handheld two-speed blowers. It makes sense for quick dry cleanup on a patio, walkway, driveway edge or a modest lawn, especially if the cordless format matters more than a high air-volume ceiling. WORX lists a maximum of 360 CFM and 75 mph, with a lower 270-CFM, 55-mph speed. Those are manufacturer ratings, not a test of how quickly this blower clears a wet leaf mat. Its higher speed may help concentrate the stream, while the volume figure is the more useful first screen for moving broader piles. Do not confuse the two numbers or treat the model as equivalent to a larger-volume machine.

Two speeds, no collection system

The operating plan is uncomplicated: install the included 20V Power Share battery, assemble the two-piece blower tube, choose the low or high speed and sweep debris toward a pile. The shared WG547 manual describes a two-speed switch rather than a separate boost, cruise-control hold or variable trigger. If a held speed without continued trigger pressure is essential, the WG547 does not meet that documented need. The product page also answers the vacuum question directly: it has no leaf vacuum or mulching function. There is no bag to empty and no collection kit in this exact package, so choose a blower-vac if gathering leaves is part of the job.

What the standard kit includes

The exact WG547 page identifies one 2.0 Ah 20V Power Share battery and a charger. This is the sensible entry point when you need the power source in the same carton; an existing Power Share owner may prefer the WG547.9 tool-only package, while the WG547.2 adds a 4.0 Ah battery and a charger described as a one-hour quick charger. All three suffixes refer to the same blower hardware in the family manual; the meaningful difference is the package. A 2.0 Ah label is a battery-capacity specification, not a verified runtime promise. The exact page reports about five hours charging time but does not name the charger model or test conditions.

The weight statements need care. The WG547 product page lists 4.9 lb in its specifications and also says 5.7 lb in its descriptive copy. The shared manual separately gives 3.5 lb as bare-tool weight. The sources do not resolve which page figure includes what equipment, so I would not call either page figure the ready-to-use weight. The machine is handheld rather than backpack-carried; if a strict operating-weight limit matters, get a configuration-specific answer instead of guessing from the page.

Make the finder answer the real package question

For an ordinary search, requiring a handheld battery blower with no leaf-vac function and exactly one battery plus an included charger leaves the WG547 eligible. Selecting tool-only removes it; that answer points to the WG547.9 instead. A minimum of 400 CFM also rules it out, because its documented maximum is 360 CFM. Requiring cruise control, vacuum/mulching or a trimmer in the same package should likewise reject it. Those differences matter more than a vague “lightweight cordless” label: decide whether you need an all-in-one kit, more battery capacity, higher published airflow, or actual leaf collection before choosing among the variants.

Use it as a blower, not a yard vacuum

The manual describes residential outdoor use for moving yard debris. It recommends a sweeping pass with the tube about eight inches above the ground, and cautions against blowing hard objects such as rocks or nails and against operating near people or pets. It also says not to use the tool in rain or on wet surfaces and to remove the battery before adjustment or maintenance. That guidance fits the WG547’s best role: moving dry leaves and loose debris into a pile, then disposing of the pile separately. If you need bagged collection, a larger clearing capacity or a documented long-run battery plan, compare those requirements before selecting this model.

Bottom line: Choose the WG547 when you want a modest-output, 20V handheld blower and need one 2.0 Ah battery and charger included. Its two speeds and cordless convenience are useful for routine small-area cleanup; the blower-only design, 360-CFM ceiling, unmeasured runtime and conflicting published weight figures set the limits.
