The WORX WG543 weighs 3.8 pounds. That matters because most cordless leaf blowers at this power level feel like they’re trying to pull your arm out of its socket after ten minutes. This one stays comfortable for a full yard session.

It delivers 410 CFM in volume mode and 130 MPH in speed mode. The variable nozzle lets you switch between them on the fly. Use volume for open lawns and dry leaves—it moves a lot of air fast. Use speed for wet leaves stuck to pavement or heavier debris like pine cones. The included 4.0 Ah battery handles a decent-sized suburban yard on a single charge, though you’ll want a spare if your property is larger or the grass is damp.

The build feels solid for a handheld unit. The trigger is responsive, and the blower doesn’t bog down when you push it into high-speed mode mid-sweep. The only real limitation is runtime. If you have an acre or more, you’re better off with a backpack model or a second battery. But for most homeowners, this gets the job done without the cord or the noise of a gas engine.
