Description
Overview of the Worx TriVac WG512
The Worx TriVac WG512
- Power: The TriVac WG512 is an electric blower made by Worx. It has a maximum air speed of 75 MPH and its nozzle can expel a max air volume of 600 cubic feet per minute (CFM).
- Power delivery: This is a corded blower, so its 12 Amp motor needs to be plugged into a power source during use. Note that the power cord might not be included with the blower. Should you wish to obtain one, use our gauge calculator.
- 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 WG512 has a 'cord lock' mechanism.
- Handling: Being handheld, this blower has a good maneuverability and is meant to be easier to carry around over a small period of time. 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: Not all jobs need full power. The TriVac WG512 has 2 speed settings so, you can blow more or less air from the blower depending on the job.
- Vacuum: One notable feature of the TriVac WG512 is its ability to transition from a blower to a vacuum, enabling users to effortlessly gather leaves and debris into a detachable bag (11.2 gallon bag included).
- Mulching: The manufacturer’s specifications give it a mulching ratio of 16:1. For every 16 bags you put in, it will reduce down to just one bag of mulch. The unit uses a metal impeller.
- Noise: Its noise rating of 79 dB can be considered the standard for similar electric handheld blowers.
- 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.

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.
