WORX WG582 40V PowerShare 780 CFM Brushless Leaf Blower Kit
Medium to large yards needing high airflow at low noise
WORX rates the WG582 at 780 CFM and 190 MPH from a brushless motor on two 20V PowerShare packs, at 57 dB and 8.94 pounds with batteries fitted. It uses a variable trigger with cruise control rather than fixed speeds, and the three-year warranty depends on registering within 30 days.

Fit and limits
Strengths
- Continuous variable speed with a cruise control dial, not fixed speed steps
- WORX publishes the exact box contents down to battery and charger part numbers
- PowerShare packs also run WORX 20V tools and stack for 40V and 80V products
Caveats
- Three-year warranty requires registration within 30 days, or it drops to 24 months
- The 60-minute runtime is a low-mode figure on WORX's own category page
- Warranty is not transferable and excludes trade, professional and rental use
What WORX rates it at, and exactly what ships
WORX rates the WG582 at up to 780 CFM of air volume and 190 MPH of air speed from a brushless motor, running at 40 volts made up of two 20-volt PowerShare packs. It gives a noise level of 57 dB and describes the tool as delivering what it calls 28 cc gas-like power.
The In the box panel on WORX's product page is unusually precise. One blower, which it identifies as the WG582.9 bare tool, two 20V 4.0Ah PowerShare Pro batteries with part number WA3674, one 20V 4-amp dual charger with part number WA3884, and one concentrator nozzle. The listing's included-components field repeats that list part number for part number.
One small inconsistency sits inside the listing itself. Its what's-in-the-box bullet says one leaf blower, one air tube, two batteries and one dual charger, which names an air tube rather than the concentrator nozzle that both its own components field and WORX's panel list. The manual's component diagram names both a blower tube and a concentrator nozzle as separate parts.
Sixty minutes, and the condition attached to it
WORX's product page says the tool provides up to 60 minutes of runtime with two 4.0Ah PowerShare Pro batteries, and repeats the figure as up to one hour further down the same page. Neither mention on that page attaches a speed setting to the number.
WORX's own leaf blower category page states it differently. There, the WG582 line reads up to 60 min runtime in low mode for medium yards. Low mode is the condition the product page leaves out, and it changes what the number means for anyone planning to work at higher airflow.
The listing does not resolve it either. Its long-runtime bullet advises using lower settings for extended cleanup and higher settings when more power is needed, without publishing a runtime figure of its own at any setting. WORX publishes the figure both ways, and its category page is the one that names low mode.
A variable trigger, a cruise dial and a Turbo button
Control is analogue rather than stepped. WORX describes a variable speed trigger you squeeze to match the task, cruise control to lock the speed in place, and a Turbo button for an instant boost when conditions get tough. The manual's component list names the same three: a turbo button for power boosting and a cruise control dial alongside the trigger.
The maker's comparison table on the listing puts a label on that: under speed control settings the WG582 column reads continuous variable speed. The same table names WG582.9 as the bare tool model for this blower and marks the high capacity air nozzle row with a tick.
Neither WORX nor the listing states how long a Turbo boost lasts or whether it ends on its own, and the manual's operating section could not be read as text. If sustained maximum airflow matters to you, check the printed manual in the box before buying.
Noise, weight and the numbers on the listing
The 57 dB figure appears on WORX's product page, in the listing title and bullets, and in the noise level field of the listing's specification table. Neither WORX nor the listing states the distance or the setting at which that measurement was taken.
Weight is 8.94 pounds with the batteries fitted, given by both the listing and WORX's comparison table. The listing adds dimensions of 41.2 by 10.7 by 8.2 inches and names the material as polypropylene. WORX says the battery sits behind the handle for better balance, alongside low recoil and a lightweight design.
Two listing fields are worth reading carefully. The wattage field reads 160 watt-hours, which is what two 4.0Ah 20-volt packs come to, rather than a motor rating, and the style name reads 190MPH 40V Blower with two 4.0Ah batteries. The manufacturer field names Positec Technology (China) Co., Ltd, and the UPC is 822465350564.
The motor claims do not match between the two sources
Both sources sell the brushless motor with percentage comparisons against brushed motors, and the percentages differ. The listing's bullet says the motor runs 50 percent longer and delivers 25 percent more power. WORX's product page says its Brushless Motor 2.0 delivers 40 percent more power and 20 percent longer runtime.
Both claim the same ten-times figure for how long the motor holds up against a brushed motor, but neither source we read states the test conditions behind any of these numbers, and the two sets of percentages cannot both describe the same comparison. We are not going to guess which is current.
The other marketing figure to treat carefully is the 28 cc gas-like power claim on WORX's page, repeated in the listing's A+ content. It is a comparison to an engine size rather than a measured output, and the measured figures WORX does publish are the 780 CFM, 190 MPH and 57 dB above.
