Description
The WORX TRIVAC 3-in-1 Blower / Mulcher / Vacuum has the versatility to change jobs with the flip of a switch. Because there are no tubes to switch between tasks, you can blow away debris at 210 mph, then easily change to vacuuming dry leaves at up to 14 gallons per minute all with a single tool combining the power of a leaf blower, vacuum, and mulcher.
Zoom on the Worx WG505
The Worx WG505 is a corded electric handheld blower that is appropriate for homeowners with smaller home areas like patios, walkways, or compact front and back lawns under a quarter acre.
It sports a max air speed of 210 MPH and a max air volume rating of 350 cubic feet per minute (CFM). This balance means it can handle smaller piles of leaves efficiently across yard sections, patios, or garden paths.
Powered by a 12-amp motor, the blower delivers constant runtime, although the cord limits the extent of movement. Keep in mind that the power cord may not be included with the blower. If you require one, or want a spare, use our gauge calculator to determine the correct cord specifications. It has a built-in cord lock to keep the blower connected and prevent interruptions during use.
Featuring 6 speed settings, the WG505 offers users flexibility in adjusting airflow.
Weighing 9.5 lbs, the handheld design allows the operator to control airflow with one hand.
For more complete cleanup, the WG505 can switch to vacuum mode, collecting leaves into a detachable bag (11.2 gallon bag included). Building on the vacuum setting, this blower’s 16:1 mulching ratio efficiently converts 16 bags of leaves into a single bag of mulch during collection. The unit uses a metal impeller.
