The WORX WG509 TRIVAC 3-In-1 Electric Leaf Blower/Mulcher/Vacuum with Metal Blade is slightly under powered. For the city, not to bad though. :-) Simple to use and put together. The directional nozzle works for me. I'm short. About 5'6". We have a Silver Tipped Maple tree, so- lot's of leaves, year after year. So actually keeping the leaves closer to the ground is also important. Not to bad. I haven't used the Mulcher yet, but, I'm hoping it will be as consistent as the leaf blower. Meaning easy to use with no break downs. For the money, I purchased the WORX WG509 TRIVAC 3-In-1 Electric Leaf Blower/Mulcher/Vacuum with Metal Blade as a refurbish. It does feel new, looks new and appears to operate new. I will give it about a month or so-. It's still clean up time. It arrived almost two days than expected, happy about that.Read full review

I have been killing myself for the last 3 years trying to deal with a yard-full of mature trees that drop leaves from September through December. I had high hopes for the WG509. Unfortunately it fell a bit short of my expectations. First, the good. The price for a refurbished unit is great. Frankly, I don't even think these are refurbished but product over-runs. The unit had no scratches or any sign of wear whatsoever. I also bought the optional LeafPro (it is a must--do not try using the included bag it will fill up in 3 seconds) so that one can vacuum straight into a large garbage can. The LeafPro is also very reasonably priced. Both the WG509 and the LeafPro do work. With that said, the two in tandem aren't a miracle product. A pile of leaves takes quite awhile to scoop up. The unit frequently gets bogged down at the nozzle. One also has to be careful not to accidentally run over any mulch which can cause a terrible sound as it hits the blade. Worse is when mulch gets stuck and shuts the blade down (this happened to me 3 times in an hour--I had to unscrew the nozzle each time and use a pair of plyers to free the blade). Even very brittle mulch seems to cause problems. I don't really see the WG509 as a solution for a whole yard. I mainly use it in garden areas and between bushes/plants (probably because I also recently bought a used Yard Man push vacuum which looks like a lawnmower--also not a total game changer). I'd rate this puppy as a C+, it is useful but not something that will totally revolutionize the dreaded time I spend bagging leaves. Read full review

I have owned this product for about six weeks and used it about as many times. I have found it to be quite useful and overall I am happy with my purchase. I have never owned/used this type of product before, so I don't know how it compares to a different brand or similar products. I choose this model because it seems to be the top of Worx product line and the design allows you to go from blower to vac with a simple turn of a knob and don't forget the METAL impellar. The vac/mulch function is it's best feature but it is not as powerful as I had hoped. Wet leaves require frequent unclogging. I had to develop a couple of techniques to reduce the frequency of clogging. I found that if I turned vac so the opening was up in the air and gravity feed clumps of leaves/debris into the opening, resulted in less clogging. Also, "stabbing" into a pile of leaves/debris sometimes worked better than standard vacuuming. I found blower function to be some what difficult to control and did not produce as strong an air stream as I was expecting (210 mph?). I think the vac exhaust produces a stronger air stream and sometimes use that instead (now if I could only find a attachment to extend it). I also purchased the WA4054 LeafPro Collection/bagging system, which I highly recommend. In fact, I have never used the small collection bag that comes free with the WG509. It's just to small for my needs. The WG509's ability to reduce leaves/debris 18:1 is certainly time and space saver. Like I said overall, I'm happy with it and hopefully will continue to use it for many years to come but still I'd like to try out the Black and Decker UltraPlus model just to see ...Read full review

The design of the Trivac,though techie, is not optimum. There is no way to separate the vacuum nozzle from the blower nozzle, and the blower is hidden under the much larger vacuum nozzle when you are using it. It also adds to the weight. Switching between vacuum and blower is a trivial flip of a valve handle. The variable motor speed settings are useful and a nice feature. The mulcher is very good. As a yard vacuum, I rate this tops. It is less than tops as a leaf blower compared with the Toro of the same 12 amp rating.

I bought one of these years ago and it has the old plastic impeller which starts to wear down over time and you slowly loose power. Worx doesn’t sell just the impeller and want me to buy a whole new unit just for a modern metal impeller....not cool at all, so I’m looking for just the impeller as my unit itself is fine, just not as powerful as it used to be. I feel that WORX should do something to help us buyers of the old version get replacement impellers.🤔🥵
