Cordless Blower Review

WORX WG547 20V Cordless Leaf Blower Review: Specs, Pros & Cons

⚡ Overview: A Light, Low-Cost Blower for the WORX PowerShare Platform

The WORX WG547 is a 20V handheld leaf blower with a turbine-style fan and two speeds. WORX rates it at 270 CFM and 55 MPH on low, and 360 CFM and 75 MPH on high. The WG547 kit includes one 2.0Ah battery and a 0.4A charger, it’s built for one-handed use, and WORX says the tube goes together without tools in under 3 minutes.

This WORX WG547 20V cordless leaf blower review covers what the kit includes, the specs, runtime, charging, upkeep, and how it compares. The short version: it suits small yards, patios, decks, and garages, and it’s an easy add-on if you already own WORX PowerShare batteries. The catch is runtime. WORX’s own support answer for the 2.0Ah battery is 7 to 15 minutes, and I found no independent force test.

Yes, for small yards, patios, decks, and garages, especially if you already own WORX PowerShare batteries. It’s light (3.5 lb as a bare tool per WORX’s manual), two-speed, and sold as a kit with a battery and charger. Look elsewhere if you have a bigger property or want long runtime: WORX gives 7 to 15 minutes on the included 2.0Ah battery, and the 0.4A charger takes about 5 hours to refill it. A spare or larger battery fixes most of that.

• Best for: homeowners with a small yard, patio, deck, or garage who want a light blower, or anyone already using WORX 20V PowerShare batteries
• Standout strength: a complete, light kit with two speeds and a battery that fits WORX’s wider PowerShare tool family
• Biggest weakness: short runtime on the included 2.0Ah battery, and a charge time of about 5 hours
• Skip it if: you have a large yard, want fast recharging, or want the strongest airflow in this price range

Score basis: raised by the low weight, the complete kit, PowerShare compatibility, and the 3-year warranty; lowered by the short runtime, slow charging, lower airflow than some rivals, inconsistent published specs, and the lack of an independent force test. It’s an editorial judgment, not a lab score, and it isn’t based on hands-on testing.

Availability note. WORX’s US site lists the WG547 as a current product, with three versions: the WG547 kit, the WG547.2, and the WG547.9 tool-only model (checked October 30, 2026). WORX’s older WG546 is marked discontinued, with the WG547 named as the latest model. The versions differ in what ships: the WG547 has one 2.0Ah battery and a 0.4A charger, the WG547.2 has two 2.0Ah batteries at WORX Canada but a single 4.0Ah battery at some US and Canadian retailers, and the WG547.9 has no battery or charger. I couldn’t open Amazon, so check the listing for the version, battery size, seller, and exactly what ships.

Core specs

Figures that vary by source or region

These are the numbers where sources disagree. I show each one instead of picking a winner. The manual says all WG547.X models are the same except the package, so differences below are mostly about what ships.

💨 Power and Airflow: What 360 CFM Really Means

CFM and MPH sell blowers, but blowing force in newtons says more about how a blower handles a heavy pile. WORX doesn’t publish a force figure for the WG547, and I found no independent bench test, so I can’t tell you where it sits in newtons next to tested blowers. What WORX does publish is airflow: 270 CFM at 55 MPH on low and 360 CFM at 75 MPH on high.

For context, those figures are lower than the EGO LB5302 (530 CFM and 110 MPH in turbo) and the DEWALT DCBL722B (up to 450 CFM and 125 MPH with a concentrator) from my other reviews, though those are manufacturer ratings too. The WG547 is built for light residential cleanup, and the manual says it’s for residential use only. If you’re comparing options, the current Amazon listing shows what’s bundled.

Turbine fan and air intake

WORX says the turbine fan draws air in from the back of the motor housing and sends it in one direction, which it says makes the blower quieter than traditional models. That means the rear of the housing is the air intake. Keep it clear, since the manual says not to use the blower with an opening blocked. A wider “hyper-stream” nozzle shapes the airflow, per WORX’s retailer descriptions.

Two speeds

A switch on top of the handle moves between the two speeds. Low is meant for pavement and tight corners, and high for open lawn, per Best Buy Canada’s description of the WORX copy. Since runtime on the 2.0Ah battery is short, using low for most of the job should stretch a charge, which is my inference from WORX’s advice to use the speed the job needs.

🔑 How to Assemble, Start, and Use the WG547

This summarizes the steps in WORX’s owner’s manual. Read the full manual for your unit before first use.

1. Charge the battery first. WORX’s manual says the battery pack arrives uncharged, and the charger and battery are designed to work only together.
2. Join the upper and lower blower tube sections. No tools are needed, and WORX says it takes under 3 minutes. The tube-release button lets you take the tube apart again.
3. Insert the battery into the battery port with a simple push and slight pressure. To remove it, press the battery-release button.
4. Switch the blower on with the on/off switch, and choose low or high with the two-speed switch on the handle.
5. Hold the tube about 8 inches above the ground and sweep from side to side. Advance slowly so the debris stays in front of you, then gather it into a pile.
6. Switch off and wait. The motor keeps running for a few seconds, and the manual says to let it stop completely before setting the tool down.
7. Take the battery out before adjusting, changing accessories, or storing the tool.
8. To store it, hang it on a wall using the hanging support at the back of the blower.

Don’t blow nails, bolts, or rocks, and keep bystanders and pets away. Wear safety goggles or other eye protection, long pants, and shoes. Take extra care on stairs and in tight areas.

🔋 Battery, Runtime, and What You’re Buying Into

The included battery is a 20V Power Share pack rated 2.0Ah, which works out to about 36 watt-hours (2.0Ah at the 18V nominal rating). That’s a theoretical figure for context, not a measured one. It’s a small battery, and the whole runtime story follows from that. I couldn’t find a controlled runtime test, so here is what the sources say, side by side:

Runtime depends on battery size, speed setting, temperature, and battery age. Plan on a short runtime at full power.

Charging is the other limit. WORX lists about 5 hours on the included 0.4A charger. That matches simple arithmetic: a 2.0Ah battery divided by 0.4A is about 5 hours. WORX’s manual also lists 2.0A and 4.0A chargers (WA3881, WA3770, WA3884) that work with these batteries, and some kits ship with a faster charger, so a second charger can be a worthwhile upgrade.

How to stretch a charge. WORX’s support answer recommends adding a higher-capacity battery, such as a 4.0Ah, 5.0Ah, or 8.0Ah pack. The manual lists packs from 1.5Ah to 4.0Ah as compatible, so confirm any larger pack with WORX before you buy. A second battery on the charger while you work is the simplest fix. One owner on a deal site said they keep one battery on the charger and swap once per job.

PowerShare. The battery fits WORX’s PowerShare family of 20V, 40V, and 80V tools, and any WORX 20V Max PowerShare battery you already own works in this blower, per WORX. That’s the main reason to pick it if you already own WORX batteries. WORX’s US page says 75+ tools, while other listings say 140+, so check the current list for the tools you want.

Cost. Prices I saw ranged widely: a $59 deal reported for the WG547 kit on a deal site, $99.99 for the tool-only WG547.9 at one retailer, and C$179 for the WG547.2 at another. These change often, so check the Amazon listing for today’s price and what’s included.

🛠️ Maintenance and Storage

A small battery blower needs very little upkeep. WORX’s manual lists the items below. The intervals are mine where the manual gives none.

🔧 Common Problems and What to Check

WORX’s manual has no troubleshooting table, so this mixes manual guidance with the most common complaints on retailer pages.

⚖️ Weight, Noise, Safety, and Use by Job

Weight and handling

WORX’s manual lists the bare tool at 3.5 lb (1.6 kg). Add a battery and the published figures climb to between 4.4 and 5.7 lb depending on the source. That’s light for a blower, and it’s the main reason owners praise it for one-handed work. A UK review of the WG547E found it felt slightly cumbersome in the garden because the battery sits at the end of the body, and noted no soft-grip handle on that version, a seam under the grip, and no battery-level light. Some WORX battery packs do have an indicator light, per the manual, so what you get depends on the pack.

Noise

The manual gives no noise figure, only an ear-protection symbol. Listings show 55 dB, 75 dB, and 78 dBA, with no stated method, so I can’t say which is right. WORX says the turbine design is quieter than traditional blowers. Noise rules vary by town, and this page can’t tell you whether the blower meets yours, so check your local ordinance.

Safety rules in the manual

• Don’t use it in rain, in damp or wet places, or on wet surfaces, and store it indoors
• Wear eye protection, long pants, and shoes, and use a dust mask if the work is dusty
• Keep bystanders, children, and pets away, and don’t let it be used as a toy
• Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and body parts away from the openings and moving parts
• Never put objects into the openings, and don’t blow nails, bolts, or rocks
• Use only the specified battery and charger, and don’t charge the unit outdoors
• Residential use only

Build and durability

The blower is made mostly of polypropylene, per retailer listings, and the manual says it uses self-lubricating bearings. I couldn’t find long-term durability data specific to the WG547, so I can’t say how it holds up after seasons of use.

What the numbers suggest, by job

These are reasoned from the specs and the manual, not from my own testing.

• Patio, deck, and garage: a good fit. The light weight and low speed suit short, frequent jobs.
• Driveway and sidewalk after mowing: WORX markets it for this, and it should handle clippings and light debris.
• Small yard, up to about a quarter acre: workable with a spare battery. One Canadian retailer lists it for yards up to about that size.
• Large yard: plan on several batteries or a different blower, since the 2.0Ah battery lasts only 7 to 15 minutes per WORX.
• Wet or matted leaves: expect slow going, since 360 CFM is a modest rating and I found no force test.
• Pine needles and light debris: the low speed should be enough, and that’s where the battery lasts longest.

⚔️ How the WG547 Compares

Measured blowing force is the figure I’d most like to compare, but I could only verify it for the EGO LB5302. The airflow numbers below are manufacturer ratings from different sources, so treat the table as a rough guide, not a like-for-like contest.

Airflow claims (CFM), manufacturer ratings

If you want a boxed kit with measured force, see our EGO LB5302 review. If you already own DEWALT 20V MAX batteries, see our DEWALT DCBL722B review. If you already own WORX PowerShare batteries, the WG547 is the natural pick in this group.

⭐ Owner Feedback, Pros and Cons

I read comments on retailer, deal-site, and marketplace pages. It’s a small, informal sample, so treat it as patterns I saw, not a survey. Owners praise the light weight, the ease of use, the value, and being able to share batteries across WORX tools, and several say it works better than a corded blower they owned. The most common complaint is runtime on the 2.0Ah battery, with comments from about 5 to 15 minutes on high, and a few mention long charging. One buyer was surprised that the tool-only WG547.9 had no battery, and one reported a defective battery out of the box. The points below are my analysis of the specs and sources above:

🎯 Who Should Buy It

❓ WORX WG547 FAQ

What’s included in the WORX WG547 kit?

The WG547 includes the blower, one 20V Power Share 2.0Ah battery, and a 0.4A charger. The WG547.9 is the tool-only version, and the WG547.2 comes with different batteries depending on the seller, so read the listing.

Is the WORX WG547 worth buying?

It’s worth it for small yards, patios, decks, and garages, especially if you already own WORX PowerShare batteries. It’s a poor fit for large yards because the included battery lasts 7 to 15 minutes per WORX.

How powerful is the WORX WG547?

WORX rates it at 270 CFM and 55 MPH on low, and 360 CFM and 75 MPH on high. WORX doesn’t publish blowing force, and I found no independent measurement.

How long does the battery last?

WORX’s support answer is 7 to 15 minutes on a 2.0Ah battery. Owner comments range from about 5 to 15 minutes on high. Using low speed and adding a spare or larger battery gives you more room.

How long does the WG547 take to charge?

About 5 hours on the included 0.4A charger, according to WORX. WORX’s manual also lists 2.0A and 4.0A chargers that work with the same batteries.

Can I use other WORX batteries with it?

Yes. Any WORX 20V Max PowerShare battery works, per WORX. The manual lists the WA3520 (1.5Ah), WA3525 and WA3575 (2.0Ah), and WA3578 (4.0Ah) packs.

What’s the difference between the WG547, WG547.2, and WG547.9?

WORX’s manual says they are the same blower with different packages. The WG547 has one 2.0Ah battery and a 0.4A charger, the WG547.2 has either two 2.0Ah batteries or one 4.0Ah battery depending on the seller, and the WG547.9 has no battery or charger.

How much does the WG547 weigh?

3.5 lb as a bare tool, per WORX’s manual. Listings show 4.4 to 5.7 lb including the battery, depending on the source.

How loud is the WG547?

WORX’s manual gives no figure. Listings show 55 dB, 75 dB, and 78 dBA without stating a method, so I can’t verify them. Wear hearing protection and check your local noise rules.

Can the WG547 vacuum or mulch?

No. It’s a blower only. WORX sells separate 3-in-1 blower, mulcher, and vacuum models.

Can I use the WG547 in the rain?

No. WORX’s manual says not to use it in rain or on wet surfaces, to keep it dry, and to store it indoors.

Is the WG547 good for wet leaves or large yards?

It’s better for light debris and small areas. The airflow is modest, I found no force test, and the 2.0Ah battery is short-lived, so large yards or heavy wet leaves may call for a stronger blower.

Can I use the WG547 for professional work?

WORX’s manual says it’s for residential use only. For paid work, look at a model rated for professional use.

What warranty does the WG547 have?

WORX lists a 3-year limited warranty on its US site. Check the seller and the warranty terms for the version you buy.

🏆 Final Verdict: Is the WORX WG547 Worth It?

The WORX WG547 is a sensible, light blower for small jobs. It’s sold as a kit, it’s easy to assemble, and its battery fits a large family of WORX tools. What holds it back is the small battery: WORX itself says 7 to 15 minutes, and the 0.4A charger needs about 5 hours. I also couldn’t find an independent force test to back up the airflow ratings.

If your yard is small and you already use WORX batteries, it fits well. If you’d need to buy batteries anyway, compare a stronger boxed kit first. If it fits how you work, you can check the latest price, what’s included, and what other buyers say on Amazon.
