WORX Nitro 20V LeafJet Compact Leaf Blower
Leaf blowers, once used only by professional landscapers, have become an indispensable garden tool for millions of homeowners. There’s simply no quicker, easier way to clear away leaves and lawn debris than with a blower. And that’s why I’m glad to report that the clever engineers at WORX introduced a revolutionary new blower that delivers the two most important requirements of a leaf blower: air speed and air volume.
The WORX Nitro 20V LeafJet Blower (WG543E) delivers petrol-like power and performance in a revolutionary new design that’s extremely compact, lightweight and portable. This cordless blower is driven by a powerful lithium-ion battery and features sonic turbo-fan technology combined with an inline high-speed brushless motor for enhanced efficiency, dependability and leaf-blasting power. But what really separates the WORX Nitro Leafjet from other leaf blowers is that it’s a dual-function machine that allows you to easily choose between high air speed and high air volume.
The LeafJet is equipped with an innovative variable air-control nozzle:
Slide the nozzle forward to employ the large, outer tube, which will draw more air through the secondary air intakes. As a result, the Leafjet will move massive amounts of air up to about 696 m³/h, making it the most powerful WORX cordless blower.
Slide the air-control nozzle back to engage the narrower, central tube to move air at speeds up to about 165 MPH. And its variable-speed motor allows you to precisely match the power to the job at hand. Crank it up to blast away soggy leaves from your lawn, or decrease the power to air-sweep dust and dirt from your garage.
The LeafJet is also great for quickly clearing away debris from driveways, pathways, porches, patios, decking, even roofs. And because it weighs just over 1kg with battery installed —and is perfectly balanced, you won’t feel tired using it for extended periods of time.
Other worthwhile features include:
- Maintenance-free, brushless motor that runs cooler with less friction and heat buildup
- Measures just 38 in. long with air-control nozzle fully extended
- Vibration-absorbing rubber over-molded grip on handle
- Variable-speed control dial is conveniently built into the handle
- Dual air intakes deliver high-volume airflow
- Battery power indicator lets you know when to recharge the batteries
- Runtime is typically up to 15 minutes, depending on usage. Runtime can be extended with additional higher Ah batteries.
The WORX Nitro 20V Leafjet Blower (WG543E, £179.99) comes complete with 2.0 amp-hour battery and a fast battery charger. It’s available at uk.worx.com. A bare tool version of the Leafjet is also available (WG543E.9 £79.99), minus the battery and charger. And its batteries are compatible with any of the many tools in the WORX Power Share family of tools.
