The WG520 is a plain, powerful 12 amp corded blower with a turbine fan, quoted at 600 CFM and 110 MPH. It offers two speeds and positions itself for daily leaf removal across lawns and hard surfaces. The listing stresses continuous corded power, with no battery to charge or gas to mix.
A 12 amp motor is at the top end of what a 120V household circuit can supply to a handheld, so this is a strong tool for the category. Its air speed is modest, however, so it moves volume better than it peels stuck leaves. Compared with the Grasstigon 13A at 250 MPH, it has a lower speed but is the better-known brand.
Use a heavy-gauge outdoor extension cord, ideally 14 or 16 gauge for runs under 100 feet, and coil it loosely. Keep the intake clear of grass and check the cord for nicks each season. It is the safest recommendation for a mid-size suburban lot, and a sound first corded blower if you are replacing a worn-out gas one.
