Which is better for large yards with heavy leaves?

The Worx Nitro. Its 800 CFM moves more debris per pass, and its low setting runs about 230 minutes versus an unpublished low runtime on the Greenworks.

Which is easier to carry for a long time?

The Greenworks. It weighs 15.43 lbs against 23.6 lbs for the Worx, a big difference on your shoulders over an hour of work.

Which blows a faster stream?

The Greenworks at 180 MPH versus 150 MPH on the Worx. That helps push wet leaves off pavement and clear gutters, though the Worx moves more air overall.

How long does each run in turbo?

The Worx runs about 21 minutes in turbo. The Greenworks runs up to 12 minutes. Neither is suited to nonstop turbo use on a big property.

Is the Worx worth stepping up to over the Greenworks?

Yes if volume and runtime matter more than weight. The Worx gives roughly 30% more CFM, much longer low-speed runtime, and batteries that fit other Worx tools.

Do the batteries work in other tools?

The Worx uses four 20V Power Share packs that fit over 75 Worx tools. The Greenworks uses a single 80V pack from its own 80V line.

Worx Nitro 80V Backpack Blower vs Greenworks 80V Cordless Backpack Blower

The Worx Nitro moves far more air and runs much longer on a charge, but it is heavy and its runtime collapses in turbo. The Greenworks is lighter on your back and blows a faster stream, yet its turbo lasts only about 12 minutes. Buy the Worx for big leaf drops and long sessions; buy the Greenworks for lighter weight and a faster nozzle.

Choose the Worx Nitro if you have a large yard, heavy leaf volume, or want long low-speed runtime and batteries shared with other Worx tools.
Choose the Greenworks if you want a lighter backpack blower with a faster air stream for driveways, gutters and quick cleanups.
