Is the Worx Nitro 80V backpack blower worth it over a gas blower?

For most home yards, yes. It matches gas-level airflow without fumes, mixing oil or pull starts. Gas still wins for all-day commercial use, where the 21-minute Turbo runtime is a limit.

How long does the battery last?

About 230 minutes on Low, 35 minutes on High and 21 minutes on Turbo with the four included 20V 5.0Ah batteries. Runtime drops in cold weather or wet leaves.

How heavy is it to wear?

23.6 lbs with all four batteries installed. The backpack harness distributes it across your shoulders and hips, but it is heavier than most handheld cordless blowers.

What batteries does it use, and what's in the box?

It uses four Worx 20V Power Share batteries, and the kit includes four 5.0Ah packs plus a four-port charger. The same batteries fit other Worx 20V tools.

Can it vacuum or mulch leaves?

No. It is a blower only, with no vacuum or mulching function. You would need a separate blower-vac for that.

When is the best time to buy it?

Fall leaf-clearance sales and spring outdoor-tool events are when it typically drops. At $299.99 at WORX as of November 5, 2026, it is already near the bottom of its recent range.

About the Worx Nitro 80V Cordless Backpack Blower

The Worx NITRO Power Share Brushless Backpack Blower is powered by (4) 20V 4.0Ah Power Share batteries for 80 total volts of power and performance. This blower is ideal for larger yards and small to medium sized commercial applications. Featuring variable speed control, plus turbo, to provide more control in tight spaces or large areas. This blower doles out 800 CFM of air volume to move more leaves and debris than standard battery-operated blowers in an innovative compact design that is easy to maneuver. The brushless motor offers 50% more run time, 25% more power, and 10% longer life over tools with a brushed motor design. The dual air-intake pulls in additional air for greater volume output and the sonic turbine fan technology delivers forceful, high-capacity air volume for even greater performance. Another benefit of this blower is that it comes with Base Camp, a removeable power source that not only powers the blower, but charges all 4 batteries at once and can be use with other Worx 80V tools. And the included (4) 4.0Ah batteries can be shared with 75+ other outdoor power, lifestyle, and power tools in the Power Share family. This blower is part of the Worx NITRO line of tools, a line of high-performance tools that offer greater performance and runtime than standard battery-operated tools, for users and applications that demand more from their tools.
