WORX WG509 Corded Electric TriVac Blower/Mulcher/Vacuum & Impellar Bag and Strap

Before buying the Trivac, I had seen it on an infomercial but thought it would be far too low powered. My property is about 1.5 wooded acres and nearly impossible to keep clear of oak leaves. Typically, I use my 5 horsepower shredder to mulch branches and leaves but it's really too awkward to use for general leaf cleanup requiring me to use my backpack blower to heard leaves into large piles and then rake them into the shredder feeder. Back breaking work. So I order the Trivac just to try it out and I was able to remove the leaves behind my garage but I had to empty the little pouch 3 times. The Trivac performed flawlessly but the pouch is a non-starter for a large property so I put it into the garage and went and ordered the attachment for the trash can. With the trash can attachment the Trivac was transformed into a must-have tool. I was able to do about 1/2 the back side of the (4000 sq. ft.) house and the leaves were mulched down filling about 2/3 of the trash can. I still needed my backpack blower because the built-in blower is pretty much for small properties but the mulch setting is a huge time saver. Overall, I think the Trivac is pretty fantastic except it can get a bit heavy after a while (again not a problem for a small property). I plan to fit a pair of wheels on the bottom to maintain a fixed ground clearance and reduce fatigue. Thanks for reading my review.

Bought my blower/mulcher several weeks ago. I waited until the beginning of spring to clean up all the leaves on my property. New homeowner on a corner lot with more than 15 oak trees on less than quarter acre. Can you imagine the pile up? We ended up with 32 fifty gallon bags of leaves and we couldn't have done it without the Worx. This tool vacuums piles of leaves with small twigs and some small rocks. The metal impeller mulches everything down, your carrying sack ends up weighing about 10 pounds completely filled with mulch. Get the top of the line metal impeller Worx blower / mulcher. I can only imagine the trouble the plastic impeller would have with those twigs and stones. Bottom line, great tool, worked non-stop, full power for 5 hours straight, switched between blower and vacuum about 30 times! Switching is extremely easy to do, machine is efficient and durable, you can see the quality right out the box.

Ok, just like all of you reading this review ,I'll admit I was a bit sceptical about the purchase .There are lots of 5 star reviews here as well it should be, but there were far too many that say that the collector bag ,even after the very 1st use or after just a few uses has somehow torn ,ripped or just plain separated from the collector nozzle.Well I did purchase on a leap of faith because of the outstanding track record of my other Worx tools.I can say here after the 1st Fall workout with the Trivac nothing could be farther from the truth.Are these reviewers plants from other competitors,I don't know but I'm writing to tell you the Trivac is well worth the price.I've had no problem at all with the collector bag and it's attached area on the nozzle.It's very secure and it's been used now on 7 different days a total of 6 1/2 hours of use.The vacuum does a great job and is powerful enough to vacuum up even those big oak leaves no problem at all.I did buy the metal impeller model and it did a great chewing up the smaller twigs that always get mixed up in the leaves.Should you get a jam or a clog ,the unit sort of splits in half like a shotgun to immediately clear the jam.Switching between blower and vacuum functions is a breeze with the flick of a very conveniently placed lever.The blower is a very concentrated and very strong stream of air from a smaller nozzle located right below the angled vacuum nose.All in all this unit is not only a 5 star but a true Allstar in performance.Happy Fall everyone I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

I bought this a couple months ago to help me with the yard work and being 64 years old my body doesn't work as easy as it use too. I lost my husband last year and he use to do all the yard work. It made it so easy to blow all the leaves into a pile and then mulch them all up to use where I don't want grass to grow.

Bought it about a month ago strictly for vacuuming/mulching. I had one about 3 years ago, worked quite well, but this new unit is a dog. Very inefficient in picking up leaves from pile and from top of trimmed lawn. The old unit was much more efficient.
