Pros and cons
DEWALT DCBL722P1 20V MAX XR Blower
- 450 CFM and 125 MPH — more air and far more speed than the WORX
- Rated 62 dB, the quietest machine in its class and a real advantage under local noise rules
- Variable trigger with a speed lock, so you are not holding full throttle for twenty minutes
- 20V MAX is the most widely owned battery platform in American garages
- One handheld cordless blower in the range — there is no step up without changing platform
- Blows only; no vacuum or mulching option in this line
- Heavier in the hand than the WORX with a 5.0Ah pack fitted
WORX WG584 40V Power Share Turbine Blower
- Only about 8 lb ready to run — the least tiring blower here to hold at arm's length
- Three speeds plus a turbo button rather than a single trigger to hold
- Two 20V 2.5Ah packs and a dual charger in the box
- Power Share batteries fit 140-plus other WORX tools
- 430 CFM and 90 MPH — noticeably less air speed than the DEWALT for moving wet leaves
- Two smaller packs mean shorter total runtime than one large DEWALT battery
- Turbo mode drains the batteries fast enough that most owners save it for stuck piles
WORX WG583 40V Cordless 3-in-1 Blower Vac
- The only credible cordless blow, vacuum and mulch machine at this price
- Brushless motor with two-speed control
- Two 20V 4.0Ah packs and a charger included, so runtime is better than the WG584
- Mulching reduces a bag of leaves to a fraction of its volume for composting
- Lowest owner rating of the four models here, with recurring tube and latch complaints
- Heavy on one shoulder once the collection bag starts filling
- Slower than a dedicated blower when you only want to move leaves
DEWALT DCV580H 20V MAX Cordless Wet/Dry Vac
- Runs on the same 20V MAX packs as the blower, so one platform covers two jobs
- Wet and dry capability handles gutter sludge, not just dry leaves
- Washable HEPA-rated filter rather than a consumable bag
- Strong, stable owner rating across a large review base
- Not a blower — it does nothing for a lawn full of leaves
- Two-gallon capacity fills fast on a real cleanup
- Usually sold tool-only, so the price assumes you already have packs
Decision factors
What you actually pay
Both land in similar territory as kits: the WORX WG584 at roughly $150 to $200 with two 20V packs and a dual charger, the DEWALT DCBL722P1 at $180 to $230 with a 5.0Ah battery and charger. The WORX 3-in-1 blower vac runs higher at $230 to $290, and the DEWALT wet/dry vac is usually a tool-only purchase around $110 to $150.
Where the premium goes. Air speed and noise engineering. DEWALT's extra 35 MPH and its 62 dB rating are the two things you are paying for, along with a three-year warranty. You are not paying for lighter weight — the WORX wins there.
The number that reframes the price. Bare-tool listings. Both brands sell these blowers without a battery for far less, and if you already own packs that is the price you should be comparing. A DEWALT blower bought bare by someone with a drill collection is often the cheapest genuinely powerful blower available.
Running costs are batteries and nothing else. No fuel, no oil, no spark plugs, no filters — which is the entire case for cordless over gas. Set against that, lithium packs fade after a few hundred cycles and a replacement is a real expense, which is the strongest argument for buying into a platform you will keep feeding rather than the cheapest kit on the shelf.
Which one fits you
- Already owns DEWALT 20V MAX batteries DEWALT DCBL722P1 The packs in your drill case make this the cheapest genuinely powerful blower you can buy, and it is the quietest here.
- Long clearing sessions, arm fatigue is the limit WORX WG584 Eight pounds and a speed lock beat raw CFM when you are holding the tool out for half an hour.
- Noise-restricted neighborhood or early-morning clearing DEWALT DCBL722P1 A 62 dB rating is the difference between clearing at seven in the morning and waiting until nine.
- Leaves in beds and borders that need collecting, not moving WORX WG583 3-in-1 Blowing leaves off a flower bed just puts them on the lawn; vacuum and mulch actually removes them.
If neither is right
- EGO Power+ LB6504 650 CFM Blower Kit The consensus best cordless blower overall. 650 CFM puts it in a different power class than either brand here, and the 56V platform covers a full range of yard tools. Buy it if you have a big lot and no existing battery loyalty.
- Greenworks 60V 610 CFM Cordless Blower Close to EGO power for less money. The catch is Greenworks runs several incompatible voltage platforms, so commit to 60V before you buy into it.
- Makita XBU02PT 18V X2 LXT Blower Kit 473 CFM on two 18V LXT packs with a six-speed dial and cruise control. The obvious answer for anyone whose van is already full of Makita batteries.
Which one should you buy?
Buy the DEWALT DCBL722P1 if you own 20V MAX batteries or care about noise — it moves more air, moves it far faster, and does it at a rated 62 dB, which keeps you legal in more places and on better terms with your neighbors. Buy the WORX WG584 if you clear leaves for long stretches and weight is what stops you, because eight pounds with two batteries and a dual charger in the box is a genuinely different experience from holding a heavier tool at arm's length.
The wider field, including the EGO and Greenworks machines that outpower both, is in our best cordless leaf blower roundup.
What the CFM and MPH figures actually tell you
These two blowers are closer on air volume than the marketing suggests — 450 CFM against 430 CFM is not a meaningful gap. Air speed is where they separate: 125 MPH from the DEWALT against 90 MPH from the WORX, which is a difference you feel the first time you meet wet leaves stuck to a driveway.
The rule worth remembering is that CFM carries and MPH lifts. Dry leaves on open lawn barely need speed; you are pushing a large volume of light material and volume does the work. Wet leaves matted onto concrete, or pine needles wedged into gravel, will not move at all until air speed breaks them free — and then volume carries them. Fall cleanup is mostly the second case, which is why the DEWALT is the more capable machine in the season you actually need one. Our CFM vs MPH explainer goes further.
Which battery platform should you buy into?
This decides the purchase more than any spec on either box, because you are not buying a blower — you are buying the first or fifth tool on a battery system you will keep for a decade.
DEWALT 20V MAX is the most widely owned cordless platform in American homes and on American jobsites. If there is a drill in your garage, there is a fair chance it takes these packs, and the bare-tool version of this blower is dramatically cheaper than the kit. The limitation is that DEWALT's handheld blower line-up is thin: this is the model, and stepping up means moving to their higher-voltage line.
WORX Power Share is a different bet. One 20V battery family spans over 140 tools, and two 20V packs slot together to make the 40V machines like this blower. That is unusually coherent for a homeowner brand, and it means a mower, a hedge trimmer and a string trimmer all draw on the same shelf of batteries. What you give up is peak power — the platform tops out well below what EGO or a 60V Greenworks delivers.
If you already own either brand's batteries, stop reading and buy that one. The pack in your hand is worth more than 35 MPH.
Does the noise rating matter?
More than most buyers realize, and it is the DEWALT's quietest advantage in both senses. Many US municipalities set leaf blower limits somewhere in the 65 to 70 dB range measured at a specified distance, restrict the hours you may run one, or ban gas blowers entirely. A machine rated at 62 dB stays under most of those thresholds.
Practically, it also decides when you can work. A quieter blower is one you can run at seven on a Saturday morning without a conversation with a neighbor. WORX does not publish a comparable figure for the WG584; owners describe it as clearly quieter than gas and audibly louder than the DEWALT. Check your own town's rules first — see leaf blower noise rules and how many decibels a leaf blower makes.
Why weight beats power on a long session
Blower specs are quoted as if you use the tool for two minutes. In reality a full fall cleanup on a suburban lot is thirty to forty-five minutes of holding a tool out in front of you at an angle, and the limiting factor for most people is not the machine's power but their own shoulder.
The WORX WG584 is built around that. Eight pounds ready to run, three speed settings and a turbo button mean you spend most of the session at a comfortable setting rather than squeezing a trigger flat out. Owners consistently describe it as the one they can keep using. The DEWALT counters with a variable trigger and a speed lock, which achieves the same thing for the trigger finger but not for the arm. If you have a big yard and no interest in a backpack, weight is a legitimate reason to take the less powerful tool — see handheld vs backpack blowers.
Where each brand's line-up is strong and weak
DEWALT is strong on engineering quality, noise, warranty terms and the sheer ubiquity of its battery. It is also the better brand if the blower shares a garage with power tools rather than yard tools. DEWALT is weak on yard-tool breadth: there is no vacuum or mulching option in this line, and one handheld blower is the whole handheld range.
WORX is strong on breadth and value for homeowners: a lightweight blower, a cordless 3-in-1 vac, mowers, trimmers and edgers all on one battery, usually at a lower price than the equivalent from a pro brand. WORX is weak on outright power and on consistency — the 3-in-1 model draws the lowest owner rating of anything in this comparison, and 90 MPH is simply not enough for wet, packed leaves.
The call
DEWALT DCBL722P1 for most buyers: more air speed, less noise, a three-year warranty and the most common battery in America. WORX WG584 if you already own Power Share packs, if you are clearing for a long time and weight matters, or if the price gap is the deciding factor — it is a genuinely good tool, just a less powerful one. If your leaves live in beds rather than on lawn, neither pure blower is the right answer and the WORX 3-in-1 or a dedicated leaf vacuum mulcher is.
