The 12 A motor of this leaf blower is capable of pushing enormous amounts of air. It can push through 600 cubic feet of air per minute, which is twice more than many other electric or gas powered blowers can offer. This allows pushing around large amounts of leaves easier than with weaker leaf blowers, allowing for the job to be completed faster.
As it only weighs 6.4 pounds, it's comfortable to maneuver the WG520, even for prolonged periods of time. You can swing it around throughout the whole yard, and you will hardly even feel that you have done any physical work.
Adjusting the power level of this blower is easy. Instead of pushing and holding a trigger, which can be tiresome, you just need to adjust the speed with your thumb using a knob that you can roll back and forth.
Although the blower can push through massive amounts of air, it can’t achieve high speeds. The maximum 160 mph airspeed may not be enough to blow off wet, stuck leaves from concrete or to clean out drainages.
This electric blower can generate air speeds as fast as 250 mph, making it one of the most powerful consumer-grade electric units available. This level of power means the unit can be used to easily blow wet and heavy leaves and debris.
The blower can be converted into a vacuum to pick up debris and leaves while shredding them. Once collected into the bag, the waste can be easily disposed from the bottom-zip bag. It can shred up to 88% of total leaves.
The power can be easily set via a top dial. This makes it easy to work on sensitive areas like flower beds or anything else that can be potentially damaged or scattered around.
You don’t need to fill it up with gas or assemble any additional parts to start it. Also, it is easy to convert it from a blower to a vacuum, thanks to a quick release latch.
The range of the blower is limited in how long your extension cord is. While it isn’t a problem for most backyards chores, it can become troublesome for large properties.
There is no safety cord lock, so you have to be careful not to plug out the power cord accidentally, or you have to be creative and improvise such a system.
The handle is made from plain plastic, so it may be uncomfortable to use for some people. Additionally, the type of plastic used isn't great for providing a firm grip.
Despite being cheap and lightweight, the leaf blower is powerful enough for jobs like clearing debris and grass from small yards, walkways, garages, or decks. The 7A motor can produce enough wind force to deal with the overwhelming majority of daily jobs.
You don’t need to fill it up with gas or assemble any additional parts to start it. Just plug in the cable, snap on the nozzle, and you are ready to go.
Thanks to being electric and the fact that it doesn’t produce a lot of wind, this leaf blower is quiet, which means it can be used during early and late hours without disturbing the neighbours.
There are no accessories like long blower tubes or straight and curved nozzles that can be in handy to clean out hard to reach places like rain gutters and cracks.
The 160 mph wind speed is good for blowing dry leaves and debris into piles, but this speed is not powerful enough for tasks like blowing a big amount of wet leaves away.
