Comfortable Design Makes For Light Work
ErgoSum Design Technology allows you to hold the TriVac with a natural, comfortable grip, and its light weight of just 8.4 pounds and wrap-around soft grip mean you can operate it with one arm. The compact size also makes it easy to store, and there are no extra tubes to lug around when taking care of your grounds.
Efficient Electric Motor
Because it runs on a 12 Amp electric motor. The electric motor runs at about 70 decibels, significantly reducing noise pollution, and it has none of the emissions associated with gas-powered engines. The electric power still packs a punch: when used as a blower, the TriVac's air speed of 210 mph is strong enough to clear away wet leaves and other heavy debris. The adjustable air regulator allows you to reduce air flow when working around delicate plants and preventing dust ups. Flip the switch to vacuum mode, and turn mounds of dry leaves into mulch in minutes, perfect for compost piles or ground cover. The TriVac's 10 to 1 mulch ratio makes easy work of large jobs.
Innovative, Durable Design
The TriVac's innovative angled tube makes it easy to clear debris under cars, furniture, and equipment in your yard or garage. The collector bag empties quickly thanks to a quick-connect coupler, and it's constructed of breathable nylon fabric to keep the air flowing freely. Cleaning the TriVac is simple; just push a button to open the impeller housing to free any clogs. Its sturdy ABS plastic construction means you can put the TriVac through the rigors of everyday use for many seasons to come.
The WORX TriVac All-in-One Compact Blower/Mulcher/Vac is covered by a full two-year warranty.

From the Manufacturer
The WORX TriVac WG500 All-in-one Blower/Mulcher/Vac brings all three functions together in one compact, lightweight machine: a great blower a handy mulcher and a powerful yard vac. At 8.3 pounds, the WORX WG500 weighs less than a gallon of milk! With its wrap-around soft grip handle, blowing off your driveway or vacuuming leaves around the patio are almost effortless. With the WORX WG500 Changing from a blower to a yard vac is as easy as the flip of a switch quick, easy and hassle-free. As a blower, the WG500 produces an airspeed of over 210 mph, strong enough for even the toughest jobs of wet leaves and debris. As a yard vac, its powerful 12 amp motor produces enough suction to vacuum 14 gallons of dry leaves in less than a minute. And its integrated mulching feature condenses leaves and debris to one-tenth of their original size¿perfect for spreading as ground cover for your flower bed or compost for your garden. Besides being lightweight and powerful, the WG500 is also packed with other great features that are simply not available on most other blower/vacs. Unlike other standard blower/vacs, the WG500 comes with a unique angled tube to easily vacuum leaves from under decks or play equipment. The blower tube on the WG500 has a built-in airflow regulator which let's you adjust the blower speed to the job. At less than 70 decibels, the WG500 is quieter than an electric shaver (noise level measured from 50ft away). A simple push of a button opens the impeller housing for quick removal of clogs or debris. The convenient WORX large-capacity collector bag holds up to 10 gallons of mulch (equal to 100 gallons of dry leaves) and is made of special breathable nylon fabric to maximize airflow. The bag's proprietary quick-connect coupler makes emptying and replacing it a snap. Finally, as with all WORX products, the WG500 is built to last. Made of high-impact nylon reinforced ABS plastic, it can take the abuse season after season.

much better units out there
By polarpooch
this product is a cool idea...a leaf blower that turns vacuum w/the flip of a switch. Problem is, it doesn't do it nearly as well as it could or should. First, the impeller is plastic. One errant rock or hard piece of bark sucked up in the vacuum, and expect your blades to chip. Mine chipped on the first use. Next, the bag is problematic. It's easy to click into place, but very difficult to dislodge. Mine just would not budge at all. No amount of force, or coaxing or balance could get the bag off. I have read other people have had the same problem. Finally, the design. The end of the unit is angled up. Which seems like a good idea until you use it. Because the motor is the heaviest feature, the unit naturally wants to tip backward in your hand--the opposite direction of the angle on the nozzle. It just means your hand/forearm gets tired a lot quicker. the power of the blower/vac is pretty decent. But that's about all I can say for this gadget. For the money, I expected better. A lot better. I sent this back, and bought a Toro Ultra for $20 less. It doesn't have that "one touch" toggling between blower and vac, but it does have a metal impeller, is simple to assemble and use, weighs less, mulches great, has variable speed and doesn't have nearly the "hang ups" that this unit has.

bag broke after usihg 2 times/very poor customer service
By S. Perry
After the second use the zipper on the bag broke. Contacting customer service has been a nightmare. They don't answer the phone and a machine asks you to leave a call back number, which they say they will return in 24-48 hours, never happened. Finally after 2 weeks I finally got a hold of someone. They would not provide me with a phone # that was not a 1-800 number or physical address for their company or let me talk to a supervisor (said they were all busy on other phone calls. They did consent to replace the bag, but I am not sure this is a good idea if their customer service stinks. Seriously considering returning the whole unit.

Worx All-in-One Electric Maybe Good For Small Jobs
By Yardman
The Worx All-in-One Electric B/M/V is good and strong, but may not be dependable for more than quick clean ups. My experience with the machine is that it has a strong motor and worked very well for about two hours. The plastic impeller is it's achilies heel. I found that it chipped easily and the machine lost a great deal of its power fairly quickly.
The Worx warranty is a good one and the company honored it with a replacement unit.
