Description
Overview of the Worx TriVac WG512
- Power: This electric leaf blower has a maximum air volume rating of 600 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and an air speed rating of 75 MPH.
- Power delivery: As it is a corded model, the blower needs to be plugged in to a power source in order for the 12 Amp motor to operate. Keep in mind that the power cord may not be part of the blower package. If you require one, or wish to have a spare, utilize our gauge calculator to find the appropriate cord.
- Cord Lock Mechanism: Corded power tools can sometimes inadvertently be unplugged during operation. The Worx TriVac WG512 prevents such accidents by featuring a cord lock mechanism.
- Handling: Ideal for those seeking a compact and portable leaf blower, this model provides ease of handling and use, making it a convenient choice for any task. The Worx TriVac WG512 weighs 8.6 lbs, placing it within the average weight range for electric handheld blowers, neither the lightest nor the heaviest in its category.
- Speed Settings: The Worx TriVac WG512 boasts 2 speed settings, granting users control over airflow intensity for diverse tasks.
- Vacuum: In addition to its blowing capabilities, the TriVac WG512 boasts a vacuum function, making leaf cleanup a breeze as it neatly collects debris into a designated bag (11.2 gallon bag included).
- Mulching: Its impressive mulching ratio of 16:1 allows this mulcher to compress 16 bags of leaves and debris into just one bag of mulch. The unit uses a metal impeller.
- Noise: Its noise level of 79 dB falls within the expected range for electric handheld blowers.

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.
