WORX Backpack Leaf Blower 80V WG572 — 800 CFM, 150 MPH, Brushless Motor

The WORX Nitro WG572 is an 80V cordless backpack leaf blower that uses four 20V PowerShare Pro batteries and a BASECAMP battery hub to deliver up to 800 CFM and 150 MPH for heavy-duty yard cleanup.

Designed to replace gas-powered blowers for large yards and demanding jobs, the WG572 pairs high airflow and adjustable speed control with a backpack-mounted battery system so the blower itself stays lightweight and easier to maneuver. It runs on four 20V PowerShare Pro batteries that work across the WORX platform, connects to an integrated BASECAMP charger, and uses an upgraded brushless motor for increased power and longer life.

How much power and runtime does the WG572 actually provide?

This backpack blower combines four 20V batteries to create an 80V power source, producing up to 800 cubic feet per minute of airflow or airspeeds reaching 150 miles per hour. Runtime varies by output setting—extended on low and shorter on Turbo—so you can match performance to the task.

• Maximum airflow: 800 CFM (volume mode).
• Maximum airspeed: 150 MPH (speed mode).
• Runtime estimates: up to 230 minutes on low, 35 minutes on high, 21 minutes on Turbo (with all four batteries charged).

What features make it easier to use than a handheld gas blower?

The backpack configuration transfers battery weight off the tube and into a wearable pack, improving balance and reducing arm fatigue during long sessions. Variable controls let you dial in the right combination of airflow and speed, and an integrated BASECAMP stores and charges the batteries when not in use.

• Backpack-mounted BASECAMP holds and connects all four batteries for better weight distribution.
• Variable air-control nozzle switches between volume (CFM) and speed (MPH) modes.
• Turbo and variable speed control for precise power where needed.

How does the motor and battery design affect durability and performance?

WORX uses an improved brushless motor 2.0 for greater output and efficiency compared with older motor types, which helps extend runtime and component life. The PowerShare Pro 20V batteries resist heat and damage, and because they’re compatible with 140+ WORX tools, you can reuse them across other equipment.

• Brushless motor 2.0: about 40% more power and ~10% longer runtime than standard brushless designs.
• PowerShare Pro batteries: four 20V cells combined to make 80V and work with many WORX tools.
• BASECAMP doubles as a 4-port charger and an interchangeable 80V power source for other devices.

Which jobs is volume mode versus speed mode best for?

Use volume mode (high CFM) to clear large expanses of loose debris quickly—think dry leaves and grass clippings across a big lawn. Switch to speed mode (high MPH) when you need concentrated force to move dense, wet leaves, small branches, or compacted piles.

• Volume mode: up to 800 CFM for sweeping large areas fast.
• Speed mode: up to 150 MPH for stubborn, wet, or heavy debris.
• Turbo setting for the toughest, most compacted buildups.

Who is this for: The WORX Nitro WG572 is aimed at homeowners, landscape contractors, and maintenance crews who need gas-caliber performance without fuel, prefer cordless convenience, and want an expandable battery ecosystem. It’s best for large yards, properties with heavy seasonal leaf fall, or professionals who need long runtimes and the option to swap batteries across many WORX tools.
