Quick comparison
Compare the two corded configurations, then consider collection-bag handling and the route from your outlet. Published blower output is not a measured vacuuming-speed comparison.

Compare collection convenience, not just blower output
Both listed WORX machines are corded. The published airflow and mulch ratios do not establish how quickly each will vacuum the same wet leaves. Compare the tube, conversion steps and the bag you must carry and empty.
Measure the route from the outlet and check the permitted cord specification in the manual. A larger airflow maximum or reduction ratio is not a substitute for evidence about the collection task.
