Overview of the Worx TriVac WG512
- Power: The Worx TriVac WG512 can expel 600 cubic feet of air per minute (CFM) from its nozzle at a maximum speed of 75 MPH.
- Power delivery: This unit, featuring a 12 Amp motor, is a corded blower. It must be plugged into an electrical outlet with a reliable power source at all times during operation. 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: 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: Its handheld design ensures maximum portability, allowing users to effortlessly move and operate it virtually anywhere with ease. 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: With 2 speed settings, this blower’s output can be set to meet the needs of jobs big or small.
- 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: At a mulching ratio of 16:1, the mulcher efficiently condenses 16 bags of debris into a single bag of mulch. The unit uses a metal impeller.
- Noise: The TriVac WG512's noise level is rated at 79 dB, which is standard for 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.
