WORX WG584 40V Cordless Leaf Blower, Electric Blower for Lawn Care wth Brushless Motor, 2 Batteries & Charger Included

Why I switched to this blower

I stopped dragging a cord around my patio the day I pulled the trigger on the Worx WG584. My yard isn’t huge, but it has enough corners, patio furniture, and tight walkways that a corded blower had turned a five-minute sweep into a fifteen-minute dance. This 40V cordless blower promised to streamline the routine, and after several weeks of mowing-and-cleanup cycles, I’m not going back.

Design, ergonomics, and controls

The WG584 leans into simplicity. With the two included 20V batteries installed, the tool weighs about 7.3 lb. It’s not featherlight, but the weight is well-balanced over the handle, so one-handed use feels natural. I can steer the nozzle precisely without my wrist fighting the tool. After 20–25 minutes, I start feeling forearm fatigue, but it’s still less taxing than heavier 56V class blowers or any of my old gas handhelds.

Control layout is straightforward: a thumb-operated three-speed selector for most work, plus a dedicated Turbo button for short bursts. I appreciate that I can feather between finesse and force without stopping to reconfigure anything. Low and medium are perfect for dry debris on hard surfaces and for blowing around planters without sending mulch everywhere. Turbo is exactly what it sounds like: a “move it now” hammer for wet leaves, stuck pine needles, and mats along the curb.

Noise is noticeably lower than a gas blower. It still has the high-pitched whoosh typical of turbine-style blowers, so I wear hearing protection, but neighbors won’t hear it two streets over. The plastic housing and tube are on par with other residential blowers—no flimsy flex, no rattles. I haven’t babied mine, but I also wouldn’t want to slam it into a brick step; treat it like a power tool, not a shovel.

Power and airflow in the real world

Specs rarely tell the whole story, but they’re useful: 430 CFM and 90 MPH from a brushless motor. In practice, that combination makes the WG584 best at moving a lot of light material quickly and controllably. Think lawn clippings, dry leaves, dust, and sawdust off a driveway, garage, deck, or patio. The broad airflow cone sweeps well without “pinballing” debris into every planting bed.

Where it needs a nudge is with heavier or sticky debris. On my test patch of damp maple leaves mashed into the grass, speed 3 wasn’t enough; Turbo cleared them, but I needed to be deliberate. Along the curb where grit acts like glue, Turbo is again the lever you’ll pull. It’s effective, just plan to use it in bursts rather than running it constantly (more on that under runtime).

The finesse offered by the three-speed selector has been surprisingly useful. I can skim leaves out from under a bench at low speed, then bump up to speed 2 to keep the pile rolling, and hit Turbo for the final push up the drive incline. Compared to a single-speed tool, I spend less time corralling blowback and redoing areas.

Runtime, charging, and battery logistics

This is a 40V tool achieved by running two 20V packs in series. That means it requires both batteries installed to run, and it draws them down together. Once they’re drained, you’re done until you recharge or swap in another pair.

With the included 2.5Ah packs, my real-world runtimes have been:
- Mixed use (speed 2 mostly, Turbo in short bursts): around 20–25 minutes
- Speed 3 with occasional Turbo: roughly 14–18 minutes
- Nearly continuous Turbo: 10–12 minutes, sometimes less in cold weather

Ambient temperature and how hard you push the blower make a big difference. If you have a lot of hard-surface sweeping, speed 2 sips power and feels like the sweet spot. If your cleanup involves long runs in Turbo, expect to chew through the packs quickly.

Worx includes a dual-port charger that tops up both batteries at the same time. Charge speed is reasonable for the capacity, but plan your sessions: it’s not a quick five-minute pit stop. The upside of Worx’s PowerShare platform is flexibility. If you already own larger-capacity PowerShare batteries from another Worx tool, you can drop those in for longer sessions. For big fall cleanups, keeping a second pair of higher-Ah packs on the shelf is the difference between finishing in one go and taking a long coffee break while the included packs recharge.

Where the WG584 fits best

• Small to medium yards with mixed hard surfaces: sidewalks, driveways, decks, patios, and modest lawn areas are its wheelhouse. You can do a full lap on speed 2–3 and tap Turbo only when needed.
• Regular maintenance: post-mow clipping cleanup, weekly leaf control, and general tidying. It’s especially good at “daily driver” duty because there’s no setup—grab it, clear the mess, and move on.
• Users who value control as much as outright power: the speed steps and instant Turbo make it easy to keep debris going where you want instead of everywhere you don’t.

What it’s not built for: shoulder-high leaf drifts and acre-sized properties with heavy fall loads, unless you’re willing to invest in extra batteries or accept working in stages. And while it can push light, powdery snow off steps and vehicles in a pinch, moisture and electronics don’t mix—use common sense and keep battery contacts dry.

Day-to-day usability

A few subtle touches matter over time. The one-handed balance reduces wrist roll when changing direction. The long, slightly flared tube creates a broad airflow pattern that excels at sweeping; I do wish there were a narrow concentrator tip option for stubborn seams, but Turbo mostly solves it. The trigger and Turbo button are comfortable, though holding Turbo for long stretches can tire your thumb—another reason to use it as intended, in bursts.

Storage is easy enough; the tube slides off with a firm twist and tug. Battery insertion is positive and the pack releases are firm, which is good for security but requires a deliberate squeeze to pop them out. As with any battery tool, keep the contacts clean and avoid leaving packs on a hot charger or in a cold shed.

Brushless motor advantages

Brushless motors aren’t just a buzzword. On this blower, you feel it as:
- Better efficiency: more work per watt-hour than brushed designs
- Smoother startup and speed transitions
- No brush wear, so less maintenance over the long haul

It doesn’t magically make Turbo sip power, but it does make the mid-range speeds feel productive without punishing the batteries.

Value and ecosystem

Bundling two batteries and a dual charger makes the WG584 a complete starter kit. If you’re already in the Worx PowerShare ecosystem, you get added value by swapping packs across tools, which is handy during peak yardwork days. Against higher-voltage blowers, this model trades some top-end power for lighter weight, better control, and a lower barrier to entry—an entirely reasonable compromise for most homeowners.

What I’d change

• Offer a concentrator nozzle for crevices and stubborn seams
• Include higher-capacity batteries as an option for users with larger cleanup tasks
• Add a lock-on Turbo mode for those who prefer not to hold the button (with the caveat that it will drain packs quickly)

The bottom line

The Worx WG584 hits a smart balance of power, control, and convenience. Its 430 CFM, three-speed control, and on-demand Turbo make quick work of everyday debris without sending it flying into flower beds. Ergonomics are solid, noise is neighbor-friendly, and the brushless motor keeps things efficient. The biggest gotcha is battery management: it needs both packs installed, and Turbo drains them fast. If your cleanup routinely requires extended high-power bursts over a big area, plan on larger or spare batteries.

Recommendation: I recommend the WG584 for homeowners who want a dependable, easy-to-handle cordless blower for regular yard maintenance. It’s particularly well-suited to small and medium lots, hard-surface sweeping, and weekly leaf control. If you’re tackling heavy fall cleanups across a large property or expect to live in Turbo, budget for additional PowerShare batteries or consider a higher-voltage class. For everyone else, this blower delivers a hassle-free, thoughtfully controlled way to keep outdoor spaces tidy.
