WORX WG509 12 Amp Trivac, 3 in 1 Electric Leaf Blower, Leaf Vacuum & Leaf Mulcher for Lawn Care

This is the second device I bought in the last six years. This brand is very easy to use as you can blow or suck in less than 30 seconds as it only requires is turning one handle on the device.There are two speed modes LOW-High. Suction is very good. Bag is small but with 16-1 reduction in refuse volume that is no issue.Catch bag is zippered and sturdy. Suggest when opening the zippers bag , leave one inch of zipper together BEFORE you reach the zipper end. This keeps that area closed and the zipper from sticking in that lay two inches of opening. I had same problem with a Toro model. Using all of zipper to empty the bag made it difficult to close the zipper when it is dirty. Stopping the zipper 1 to 2 inches from its bitter end made it easier to close the bag as the zipper teeth in that area are filthy after emptying the contents of the bag.The nozzle attachment can be used as an intake or to blow air on the ground.However, the nozzle on the bottom of the blower needs to be longer.I will mail WORKZ to find an extension if they sell them. The nozzle needs to be 4 inches longer, minimum.

I get a fair amount of leaves dropping all year round in small yard (Dogwood trees mostly shed all year). Get real tired of raking every week. This machine rocks...has a decent blower and great vac! I dont have to rake...just twice a week I blow all into a corner and vac them up....! Can do it all in 20 minutes and NO RAKING/Leaf bag stuffing! I have a 50' outdoor extension cord covers my backyard well. It is pretty loud so i use in afternoons so neighbors dont get mad. It would be a little heavy for a smaller female (I am 6'2 so no biggie). Tip: Empty the leaf bag when 50% full as it starts to lose some suction slowly. So for best Vac mode..... I empty bag at 50%. Great tool saves my back and time!

This is a great blower/vacuum for the price. It's not top of the line, but far from a bad product. I see people mentioning it being heavy, they must be extremely frail or weak (no offense), but it's not heavy at all. The only complaint I have is the vacuuming feature definitely only vacuums dried leaves best. If there are tiny twigs or sticks amongst the leaves, it doesn't handle them well. Otherwise, it blows well, has a strong motor, and vacuums leaves great. Remember this is a $50-60 product, you're not paying for a top of the line item. You get what you pay for. In fact, it far exceeded my expectations for the price!

I got tired of paying someone to take care of the leaves that accumulate in my yard each Fall, so I decided to buy this Worx Trivac leaf mulcher to help me do the job myself. I have owned several Worx tools over the years, so I know that their quality is excellent. This device is actually a blower as well, but I wouldn’t call it a 3-in-1 device since the vacuum and mulcher features are really just one function (It sucks in the leaves and mulches them before depositing them into the attached bag). Since this mulcher requires a power cord, I would recommend using at least a 50-foot cord and maybe even a 100-foot one, depending on the size of your yard. After using this mulcher for an entire weekend, I am very pleased with it so far. However, I have 2 recommendations. First of all, make sure you don’t have any rocks, small tree branches, or other objects in the yard that could damage the impeller or cause it to get clogged. So I would suggest walking around your yard and removing any objects besides leaves that could cause problems when you’re using it. Second, it will be much easier to mulch the leaves if you rake them into piles first. I took a normal rake and went around my yard and created several small piles, which then made using this mulcher much more efficient. Also make sure you have a large garbage can ready so you can dump the bag of mulched leaves into it each time it fills up. Based on my experience with this leaf mulcher, I highly recommend it. The only thing that would make it better is if Worx came out with a battery-powered version so you didn’t have to drag a cord around your yard. But a battery-powered version might be too heavy and might not have enough power, so maybe that’s why Worx hasn’t done that.
