WORX 12 Amp TRIVAC 3-in-1 Electric Leaf Blower/Mulcher/Yard Vacuum – WG512

GREAT BUY
THIS PRODUCT WORKS GREAT, VERY GOOD SUCTION, THE LEAVES GET SUCKED IN, MULCHED, AND GOES INTO THE VERY CONVENIENT BAG, WHICH HOLDS QUITE ALOT, WHEN THE BAG IS FULL I UNZIP THE OVER YOUR SHOULDER BAG AND EMPTY IT. IT’S THAT SIMPLE. A LITTLE LOUD, THAT’S BECAUSE THE MOTOR HAS GREAT SUCTION.

Very HEAVY – Now have changed my mind
I made a poor decision purchasing this item. The blower works well enough but the vacuum feature is pathetic. I have to hold items up to it in order for them to be vacuumed in. Plus it is very HEAVY. I am 200#, 5’11” male and I had a hard time lugging this around my yard. A neighbor thought you could detach the vacuum motor from the blower. He was wrong. All you can do is turn a dial to either blow or vacuum. But the entire tool remains as one single piece. I am keeping it in any case. If need be I will just buy a blower alone. My neighbors have done that and the ones they have are light enough to use. I just thought I need to suck up grass and dead leaves. I do but this isn’t the item to purchase to do that.Update: 2018-11-20I have dramatically changed my evaluation from 2 stars to 5 stars. I finally learned how to use this properly. First, the strap around the bag is meant to go over your shoulder to support the weight of the blower/vacuum. Putting the strap at the proper length makes all of the difference in the world for comfort and ease of use. It is a matter of trial and error until it feels right, which it now does for me.The vacuum really works very well. I don’t know what I was thinking of with my first rating of 2 stars which criticized the vacuum as ‘pathetic.’ It is not. It is just like running your home vacuum over a carpet except here you are running it over grass. I found that it even picked up wet leaves that had been pushed into the soil because they had been walked over. You do have to be very careful not to vacuum up semi-branches because they can jam in the rotor which breaks up the debris. The rotor turns to create the vacuum. If the branch is a twig, it will work but if you hear a ‘seizing’ noise after sucking up any solid object, even thick mulch, turn it off and remove the front section so that you can see the rotor blades. Use needle nose plier to pull out the offending item.I just vacuumed up the leaves from a 5,000 square foot yard with relative ease and had no noticeable strain on my arms or back. It was a lot easier than raking. And, if the leaves are ‘blow around’ dry, the vacuum picks them so easily as to make it ‘fun’ — almost!!!It is important to empty the bag whenever you sense that the vacuum suction is weakening. It takes less than a minute to empty the bag into a disposable bag. Once you have done so and you returning to vacuuming up the leaves, you will notice the increased strength of the vacuum.While it does have the ability to work as a blower, I use a dedicated cordless blower which is easier to handle, gives me freedom to go where I want rather than being tethered to a cord, and works it a bit stronger than this blower. I use a worx 32 v blower. But, it is nice to have the option of using the blower immediately if the need arises.Also, I use a 50 foot 16 gauge extension cord which gives me just enough freedom to work on my entire yard. I have several outdoor outlet around my house.I highly recommend this for keeping your lawn clean of leaf debris.

Works great and finally found this one with metal blades which is much more durable

Esta sopladora está increíble para mantener limpio tu jardín haciéndolo tu mismo, su principal característica es la de 3 en 1 sopla, aspira y tritura. La use para soplar, aspirar y triturar flores de bugambilia, ramitas de pino y la verdad lo hizo bastante bien.Lo único que no me gustó es que no trae el cinturón para colgar tela en el hombro ni tampoco lo venden por separado, tuve que comprar independiente también en Amazon.
