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
With its corded electric handheld design, the Worx WG505 is suited for homeowners with a small outdoor space such as a patio, driveway, or yard under about a quarter acre.
Its maximum output is 350 CFM of air volume and 210 MPH of air speed. Practically, this means the blower offers modest airflow but strong speed, making it effective for focused clearing on small yard areas, patios, or garden paths.
The WG505 features a 12-amp motor, which runs as long as it is connected to a power source, with mobility naturally limited by the cord length. Note that the power cord might not be included with the blower. If you need one, use our gauge calculator. It has a built-in cord lock to keep the blower connected and prevent interruptions during use.
Thanks to its 6 speed settings, the Worx WG505 allows the user to adjust the air output to the task in hand.
With a weight of 9.5 lbs, this handheld unit enables one-handed use in tighter areas.
For more complete cleanup, the WG505 can switch to vacuum mode, collecting leaves into a detachable bag (11.2 gallon bag included). In addition to vacuuming, the manufacturer specifies a mulching ratio of 16:1, reducing 16 input bags to just one output bag during collection. The unit uses a metal impeller.

The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Worx WG505 compare with similar leaf blowers.
- The Worx WG505 tips the scales at 9.5 lbs, making it one of the heavier corded blowers. To enjoy the lowest possible weight in this category, you could have a look at the Sun Joe SBJ597E which is only 3.9 lbs.
- Exiting the nozzle, the air can reach speeds of up to 210 MPH, showcasing impressive velocity for an electric handheld blower. If you wish to benefit from air expelled at the fastest possible speed, the Craftsman CMEBL7000 and its 260 MPH could be an option to consider.
- The WG505 is average in terms of air volume. It's rated at 350 CFM, which is common for corded blowers. If air volume is important to you, the Worx Turbine WG521, with 800 CFM, could be in your good books.
