Zoom on the Worx TriVac WG512
The Worx TriVac WG512
The Worx TriVac WG512 is a corded electric handheld blower that is best suited to homeowners with smaller home areas like patios, walkways, or compact front and back lawns under a quarter acre.
It delivers up to 600 CFM of air volume and 75 MPH of air speed. This balance means the blower is suitable for light clearing across small yards, patios, driveways, or garden paths.
This corded blower is powered by a 12-amp motor, providing continuous operation, though movement is limited by the length of the power connection. Keep in mind that the power cord may not be included with the blower. If you require one, or want a spare, use our gauge calculator to determine the correct cord specifications. The integrated cord lock helps prevent the unit from being accidentally unplugged during use.
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.
With a weight of 8.6 lbs, this handheld unit enables one-handed use in tighter areas.
The TriVac WG512 doubles up as a vacuum, allowing you to collect leaves into a storage bag (11.2 gallon bag included). While vacuuming, the mulching ratio of 16:1 enables the unit to transform 16 bags of waste into one bag of mulch. The unit uses a metal impeller.

- Maxing out at 75 MPH, this blower ranks on the lower end in terms of air speed 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.

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.
