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 suited for homeowners with properties with limited lawn space, typically less than a quarter acre.
Its maximum output is 350 CFM of air volume and 210 MPH of air speed. This balance means it can handle smaller piles of leaves efficiently across yard sections, 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. It's important to note that some blowers are sold without a power cord. If you need one, make use of our gauge calculator to select the correct cord length for your needs. The WG505 features a cord lock, preventing the cord from being accidentally pulled out while operating the blower.
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). With its vacuum function engaged, this mulcher’s mulching ratio of 16:1 can condense 16 bags of leaves into a single bag of mulch while in use. The unit uses a metal impeller.
