WORX Nitro 40V LEAFJET BLOWER | A Lightweight Alternative To An EGO Blower

[@thomasjacques5286]

We are 72 and had to sell all our EGO gear due to the WEIGHT. Ordered this blower and a 13" Nitro dual string trimmer. I got more than enough to pay for the WORX gear. Our HOA does all our lawn care, but having some easy and lightweight gear to use as needed is a bonus. I use te blower to clean out the garage and dry my Tesla.

[@autofanaticcars]

This is a great blower the Ego is just heavy and fatiguing over time

[@low_classvillian176]

Just the video I wanted to see thank you. ... and yes some custom blower bands

[@jfranc2128]

Just getting into worx. Got the ego blower and mower. I love them. My battery does not drain much after drying an Explorer. But that's not the point. My kids make fun of me for drying the car with a blower. I tell them, judge me by the results, not the method. I will show them this vid, then make them wash my car... And yes, blow dry it.

[@johnwagner4559]

I gotta say, my $25 Amazon leaf leafblower works just fine for me.

That looks pretty cool Phil. Thanks for posting. I have the corded version of the WORX blower and it is VERY powerful but super loud also. That lightweight feature is great. And at less than 50% of the price of the EGO full kit, looks to be well worth it. I like that adjustable sleeve too. Very cool unit, I might have to pick up one of these.

[@autofanaticcars]

yeah i used the WORX again today I really like it

[@joevanseeters2873]

@@autofanaticcars I am buying one this weekend. Thanks for posting the video Phil.

[@Jeeper1378]

Doesn’t the adjustable end piece increase/decrease air flow? I believe it does have a effect on it.

[@KosmicHRTRacingTeam]

Ok. I bought one of these a few weeks ago. Modified the aluminum piece so it’s much shorter now. Also cut off part of the tip

[@autofanaticcars]

Thanks for the tips!

[@Mike-tg8si]

Can you give more insight on the mods you did?

[@nicolasdebrouwer3871]

Also interested on how you modified the aluminium part

[@Carlos.Rivera]

I have big ass blower for lawn but this alternative is more appealing for drying the cars and blow inside the garage

[@autofanaticcars]

yeah blow drying the cars is the way to go, the Worx blower is a lightweight charm to use the Ego gives you a workout because it is so heavy

[@sirliftsalot1154]

The WORX looks nice for a small vehicle but I have multiple vehicles to dry so I got the Echo PB9010T 1110 cfm 220mph backpack blower.

[@autofanaticcars]

nice

[@notalexiwnl]

Impressive little unit but I’m already tied into a 765. (Used for all around my property and work not just drying cars)

[@autofanaticcars]

yeah for larger yard work the Ego is better suited as i mentioned but drying cars with the Ego is cumbersome and fatiguing with the weight the Worx is perfect for light duty and car drying its almost like holding a hair dryer and the battery last super long

[@internalharm]

I got the the 765 ego. Its strong. I got it because I am planning to detach my lawn. The select cut mower sp is good but not great, i need more power. The 2 stage snowblower is awesome. If you are not in the egoconomy, you may want to think twice, it is heavy and i have to put a lanyard on my blower. Edit: Okay I just finish the video. It maybe 650cfm for the worx but it looks very weak. The amount of air it push is fast but very few volume. I would stay away from that and get a ryobi or something that have more volume.

[@Jeeper1378]

It works (or Worx) lol .. that is what matters most. I have the older Worx 56v blower and it is surprisingly close in performance.

[@Trillville43]

Turbo mode is actually not meant to be used all the time as it's purpose is for when you need a little bit more power to finish the job. I never understood people who run these things using turbo the entire time just think it could've been a setting on the dial but they made it a button lol.

[@milanjurich1526]

Hey AF, I had that unit for around the yard, and even with Turbo mode, it felt underpowered compared to an older Worx unit when sweeping. However, for drying the car, the lightweight aspect would be good.

[@autofanaticcars]

yeah it is a lighter duty unit and i have a landscaper for the serious stuff I just need something to blow out the garage, driveway and cars and to be honest after using the WORX for 2 weeks I have not even picked up my EGO 650 the weight just wears me out when you doing a few cars back to back it becomes exhausting.

[@jellyboy123]

i think its powerful for leafs 140mph i even use it to clear wet leafs and small branches twigs a corded worx is the same about 140mph to 150mph plus you not tide down with a chord. i use mine for everything even use it to clear snow off my car and light dusting of snow on the drive plus i use it after i mop the floor in my workshop to dry faster . Not sure what you talking about underpowered? unless you talking about a petrol leaf blower but then you be stinking of petrol plus storing petrol at homes is not the best because petrol is highly combustible. Unless you want the worx 80v but thats double the price . i don’ t have no problems with it unless you had the 20v version which looks identical but has 1 battery rather than the 2.

[@JoeyRam.]

It will give you a shock blowing snow from moisture inside the unit as a result of lack of a seal.

[@autofanaticcars]

interesting my EGO never did that blowing snow

[@JoeyRam.]

@@autofanaticcars The video is about the Worx, my comment is about the Worx too.

[@Jeeper1378]

Funny ive had this for a while yet continued to use my discontinued 56v blower. I did you it a few times last winter at the coin op before they installed their own blowers. I just did a RW on my car yesterday, did not drive it and it rained overnight. Broke out the worx with 2 20v pro batteries and went to work with some detail spray and a towel after. Did the whole car and wheels barely using the turbo button. Battery did not drop 1 bar. Why did i sit on this so long ? Btw sliding the front piece forward increases CFM.

[@Mike-tg8si]

FYI, Sam’s Club has the kit (2x20v) for $125. @Auto Fanatic thank you…..I decided to take a chance and try based on your video….for years I’ve been dealing with extension cords on a corded Toro 😂. Hopefully this works better

[@autofanaticcars]

youll love it plus the light weight is so great

[@Mike-tg8si]

@@autofanaticcars thanks. I’m a Dewalt person but I only have low amp batteries and your comments about worx’s light weight and power and price at Sams made it worth the try vs dewalt’s. Wishing someone made a stubby nozzle for it, but the lightweight and holding by the middle aluminum like you did will hopefully suffice. (Was seeking a solution to dry in garage with another vehicle next to it).

[@Mike-tg8si]

Following up. Tried this today and was pretty disappointed Vs my many years’ old Corded Toro Super Blower Vac (215mph/375cfm). With the turbo button pressed it was closer to comparable, but it also ate the batteries way too quickly. Unfortunately going to return it.

[@MyGuyKirby]

Great battery life but still like my Makita blower since have those batteries

[@blowerbandco1607]

Looks like we are going to be making some orange Blowerbands! 😎 (Currently have black and grey that will match).

[@autofanaticcars]

nice i need to get a black one are they on your site?

[@Jeeper1378]

Awesome.. when can we get one?

[@Саша-п5я7р]

how long does this blower work on one charge and what is the air speed in kilometers per hour. If you compare the blower with Ego, what would you recommend?

[@autofanaticcars]

I am getting 4 cars on one charge and still power left. this is far easier and more enjoyable to dry a car due to the lower noise and significantly lighter weight.

[@kirkwilson5900]

@@autofanaticcars lower noise ? In the video it sounds super loud. I'm currently using a rigid vacuum with detachable motor that becomes the blower. It's heavy, and I wear ear protection. It's my partners setup and I plan to ditch that asap but not sure which cordless blower to pick. Are you still loving the worx or is there a better pick now? Thanks for your great videos and I'm gonna order your solo sprayer soon too with the Schrader valve that's brilliant

[@Pedroluvslupe]

There is a monster Out there , the new ego 725 cfm

[@autofanaticcars]

yes i have tried that as well but the EGO are all very heavy and the battery does not last very long and can be awkward to dry a car that is taller this WORX is so much easier to use and handle for drying

[@Pedroluvslupe]

@@autofanaticcars What is the difference between eagle 620 and the new model? Did dry the car faster?

[@autofanaticcars]

seems more powerful and it does not dry faster and battery dies quick

[@Pedroluvslupe]

@@autofanaticcars If it’s more powerful it has to’s right faster

[@Pedroluvslupe]

It’ll be great if you do acomparison between the works and the ego

[@KosmicHRTRacingTeam]

I’d love to see how your EGO compares back to back. The weight seems pretty amazing. Does the claimed CFM seem fairly accurate based on other blowers you have used? Might also be interesting to see if the unit could be shortened.

[@autofanaticcars]

the WORX is a joy to use due to the light weight and works great to dry the cars, if your doing more intense leaf blowing in the backyard the EGO has more grunt but the EGO batteries just die to quickly and this is a known issue and unfortunately they deny battery warranty claims which pisses us customer off who spent the big money on one.

[@LifeAsDane]

Interesting. My CFM 650 doesnt have that Green tip

[@autofanaticcars]

the green tip is a Blowerband you can order online

[@whitegoodman7465]

So much water left on the surface, doesnt matter the leaf blower or technique. Drying the rear door and now the water is flinging back onto the other door you just dried..towels seem to be just as quick and less annoying.

[@autofanaticcars]

Towels create friction which can lead to micro scratches. Touchless drying eliminates that and is the end goal using a blower to get all or most water off after a wash. Once you get into a rhythm it woks excellent

[@victorr4844]

Just bought this today prime day for 170 or so.

[@autofanaticcars]

wow you stole it at that price thanks for sharing. hope you like it

[@pedrob3203]

Can the 20v dry a small car effectively?

[@autofanaticcars]

I have not tested the 20V and I am sure it would do just find but as this video showed we dried the full SUV with multiple passes and it barely used any battery juice.

[@novarossi5353]

I have a 20V blower（WG543）， I don't think it very efficient for drying car

[@Trillville43]

No. They just don't have the runtime required or underpowered.

[@Jeeper1378]

Its ok with a 6.0 ah battery but not the greatest. Id compare it to the EGO 530.

30% off Black Friday sale on this FYI

[@thechief9044]

I don't know if it's a glitch or what but the combo kit with the hydro shot, 2 batteries and a quick charger was 148 shipped.

[@DonDomel]

how many CFM?

[@autofanaticcars]

the WORX is rated at 620 CFM and the EGO is 650 so they are closely comparable except the EGO weights like 2X more and the battery had 16 more volts.

[@jackdominiak445]

It definitely looks a lightweight power wise

[@aldaley3537]

High-pitched noise similar to the EGO. Ear plugs/or hearing protection headphones are a must.

[@autofanaticcars]

it was how the microphone picked up the sound it really is nowhere near as loud and irritating at an EGO with the Stubby nozzle

[@hartlanddetailer5670]

I don't have an Ego blower, however I do have their trimmer/edger. Run life for it will last over an hour, I don't believe it would take an hour to blow dry your car?

[@autofanaticcars]

dry a car in 10 minutes of less really but the EGO batteries are not great on their higher draw power tools like the blowers and lawn mowers or snow blowers and it is a huge issue and these batteries are mega expensive. EGO support does not warranty squat so be careful someone just posted their feedback with the same problems.

[@philsheldon2737]

It's good but fugly, great when held on aluminium for roofs.

[@autofanaticcars]

Yes I agree how long have you had yours so far?

It baffles me. How none of you Americans have any concerns for any debris being fired at the car from the blower itself. There's no filter. Why is this not even a concern to you guys?????

[@autofanaticcars]

because it actually never happens thats why, we are not doing this during a sand storm or around blowing debris obviously.
