Zoom on the Worx TriVac WG512
The Worx TriVac WG512
With its corded electric handheld design, the Worx TriVac WG512 is mostly aimed at 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 75 MPH and a max air volume rating of 600 cubic feet per minute (CFM). To put it simply, it handles a limited amount of leaves and debris on a small lawn or garden area, suitable for light, occasional clearing.
The TriVac WG512 uses a 12-amp motor and will run continuously with a reliable power supply, with its range determined by the cord used. Note that some manufacturers don't include the cord with the unit. If that's the case, or if you're looking to buy a backup, use our gauge calculator to ensure you get the right cord. The TriVac WG512 features a cord lock, preventing the cord from being accidentally pulled out while operating the blower.
Worx designed the TriVac WG512 with control and precision in mind. That’s why this model has 2 speed settings, meaning that its air output can be adjusted to suit the user’s needs.
Weighing 8.6 lbs, the handheld design allows the operator to control airflow with one hand.
For those who want to gather leaves efficiently, the TriVac WG512 has a 'blower vac' feature, letting the operator collect leaves and light debris into a bag (11.2 gallon bag included). During the collection of leaves and debris, its 16:1 mulching ratio compresses 16 bags of leaves into one bag of mulch. The unit uses a metal impeller.

- Among other corded blowers, the Worx TriVac WG512 is on the heavier side at 8.6 lbs. 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.
- Upon exiting the nozzle, the air can reach speeds of up to 75 MPH, which is on the lower end for electric handheld blowers. For the fastest air speed in this category, you may want to consider the Craftsman CMEBL7000, which can expell air at a velocity that can reach 260 MPH.
- For those prioritizing air volume, the Worx's TriVac WG512 delivers with a maximum airflow of 600 CFM (cubic feet per minute), surpassing most corded blowers. If air volume is important to you, the Worx Turbine WG521, with 800 CFM, could be in your good books.

Questions & Answers
How come the CFM is higher than most models but the blowing speed is so low? (Asked June 11, 2020)
CFM and MPH are 2 really different metrics. CFM is pretty much fixed, while MPH can be influenced by the diameter of the output. Think about blowing through a straw or blowing with your mouth wide open. An approximate same volume/amount of air (CFM) will exit your mouth in both cases, but that air will exit at higher speed through the straw (because the output diameter is lower). Read our article dedicated to CFM and MPH to learn more.
