Main Review of the WORX WG517E 2300W Air Turbine Corded Leaf Blower
In this section we dig into the details of this WORX branded model. In summary it is a leaf blower and it does not vacuum and it does not mulch. It simply blows, but boy does it blow.
The speed on the highest setting gets up to a pretty amazing 120 mph. This blower is excellent at what it does, but please don't buy this one if you are also looking for a leaf blower that vacuums as well.
If you want one that does both, then please check out our top 5 list of leaf blowers and vacuums by clicking here.
Benefits of the WORX WG517E
Disadvantages
I have shown you the key features and benefits above. Like any product though there are some disadvantages which I have shown below:
The WORX WG517E Electric blower uses Turbine Technology to really gear up the amount of air movement. This allows you to move more leaves fast and more efficiently.
It has speeds of up to 120 Mph, with a 13m³/min air force. This of course can be controlled as it has a variable speed setting which gives you more control in corners and tight spots.
The Turbine fan is the key to the power of this leaf blower. As the manufacturer states it is like comparing a modern plane vs. one with a propeller, there is just no competition,

What the Actual Buyers Say
You can find out great information about any product if you have the time to read all of the reviews. This is what we do here at this website. Normally we present this in a Pros and Cons table. In this case there would be no point as having read all of the reviews, no buyers gave this a bad rating.
We read about 90 reviews and we found one bad review. However when we read the review the buyer said the blower was great, so clearly they gave this one the wrong star rating.
We have rated this one as a 9 out of 10 product as in terms of power and ease of use, this leaf blower does get the job done.
The only reason in our opinion why it is not a 10 out of 10 product is the price. It is slightly higher than the average price point for this type of blower.
Our Verdict on the WORX WG517E
If you the potential buyer want a leaf blower that can just about blow anything off your garden, then this would be an excellent choice.
Nothing comes close to this one in terms of sheer blowing power, thanks to the turbine fan and the high intake setup.
It is also good that this one is light and can be used with just one hand.
For general gardening purposes we would not buy this one as the consensus from the team here is that we like a blower that can also vacuum and mulch or shred.
There is no question though that as a blower only, this WORX model will be very hard to beat.
