  • Power: The TriVac WG509 is an electric blower made by Worx. It has a maximum air speed of 210 MPH and its nozzle can expel a max air volume of 350 cubic feet per minute (CFM).
  • Power delivery: Being that it is a corded blower with a 12 Amp motor, the TriVac WG509 requires a steady power source and must be plugged in when using it. Please note that some manufacturers don’t include the cord with the unit. If this is the case, or if you’re looking to buy a backup, please use our gauge calculator to ensure you’re buying the right cord for your blower.

  • Cord Lock Mechanism: Anyone who has experienced the frustration of having their blower suddenly stop from being accidentally unplugged will be glad to know that the TriVac WG509 has a 'cord lock' mechanism.
  • Handling: With its handheld design, this leaf blower was created with portability in mind. Most users will have no problem using it almost anywhere. All told, it weighs 9.3 lbs — the Worx TriVac WG509 is neither the lightest nor the heaviest electric handheld blower on the market.
  • Speed Settings: Thanks to its variable speed settings, the Worx TriVac WG509 allows precise control of the air output.
  • Vacuum: It features a vacuum allowing it to suck up leaf and debris once the sweeping job is complete (11.2 gallon bag included).
  • Mulching: Its mulching ratio is 18:1, meaning that it will turn 18 bags of soft debris into one bag of mulch. The unit uses a metal impeller.
  • Noise: As far as electric handheld blowers go, this one is average in terms of noise with a rating of 50 dB.
  • TriVac: This Worx blower is called a TriVac, which is one of the names Worx gives to its power tools that function as a 3-in-1 leaf blower, vacuum, and mulcher.

The Worx TriVac WG509's performance versus other blowers

The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Worx TriVac WG509 compare with similar leaf blowers.

  • It can push air from the nozzle at 210 MPH, which puts it ahead of its class in terms of air speed for electric handheld blowers. 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.
  • Its max air volume rating (350 cubic feet per minute) means it is really not the biggest air producer of electric handheld blowers. For the highest air volume, you may want to have a look at the Bauer 58905, which boasts with 805 CFM.

Price comparison

As you can see from this interactive chart, when compared to other blower vacs, the Worx TriVac WG509 is on the cheap side of the price range.

It can therefore be a really good buy if you're looking to acquire a budget blower.
