WORX 40V Cordless Leaf Blower WG581.1 — Nitro 530 CFM, 180 MPH, 4.0Ah Battery

The WORX Nitro 40V Cordless Leaf Blower (WG581.1) is a lightweight, battery-powered blower that delivers gas-level performance—530 CFM and up to 180 MPH—while running quietly at 57 dB.

Designed to replace noisy gas blowers for yard cleanup, the WORX Nitro blends a high-efficiency brushless motor with a low-noise enclosure and an easy one-handed form factor. It pairs strong airflow and selectable speeds with a long-lasting battery system that integrates with WORX PowerShare Pro tools. That combination makes it a practical choice for residential landscapes, noise-sensitive neighborhoods, and demanding seasonal tasks.

How powerful is this blower compared with a gas model?

The Nitro uses a Brushless Motor 2.0 that increases output and runtime versus prior models—delivering the equivalent performance of a 27 cc gas blower. You get strong air volume and speed for moving leaves, small stones, and damp debris without gasoline or fumes.

• 530 CFM air volume for fast clearing of lawns, driveways, and beds
• Up to 180 MPH airspeed, concentrator nozzle boosts speed for tough spots
• Brushless motor: +40% power, +10% runtime compared to previous motors

Will it run long enough to finish a large yard?

The included 40V 4.0Ah battery is tuned for extended sessions so you can complete most residential jobs without swapping packs. Power modes let you balance runtime and force depending on the task.

• Included WA3674 4.0Ah battery offers up to 90 minutes in low-power use
• Three speed settings plus Turbo for short, high-output bursts
• Compatible with PowerShare Pro battery family—use across 140+ WORX tools

Is it comfortable and easy to control during use?

Weighing just 7.7 lbs with the battery installed, the blower is built for one-handed operation, reducing fatigue during extended jobs. Low-vibration construction improves handling and keeps the tool steady when you need precision.

• Lightweight 7.7 lb design makes overhead and extended use easier
• Low vibration for better comfort and control
• Concentrator nozzle included for focused air and improved efficiency

Can I use this without upsetting neighbors or violating quiet hours?

The Nitro's quiet-tech engineering keeps operating noise near 57 dB, so it’s far quieter than typical gas models and discreet for suburban use. That makes it suitable for early-morning or late-afternoon jobs where noise matters.

• Noise level around 57 dB for minimal disturbance
• No exhaust fumes or fuel odors—cleaner for shared spaces
• Electric start and instant throttle response versus pull-start gas models

Who is this for? The WORX Nitro 40V blower is aimed at homeowners and property caretakers who want gas-equivalent clearing power without the noise, smell, or maintenance of gas equipment. It’s ideal for medium-to-large yards, multi-surface cleanup (lawns, patios, driveways), and anyone already invested in the WORX PowerShare Pro battery ecosystem. If you need lightweight handling, selectable power modes, quiet operation, and the convenience of included battery and charger, this model fits those needs while sharing batteries across other WORX tools.
