Good but....

Ok so this thing has excellent power, sucking up big leaves from a river birch behind my townhouse. Only problem is it overheats after second bag of leaves and Just stops working. I have to let it cool down which is time consuming. Also the bag is awkward and uncomfortable. I think a backpack type of bag is a better solution than to having all the weight of the vacuum and bag on one side of your body. But its definitely powerful and will clean your leaf debris.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Blowing of leaves was weak. Suctioning was just ok, nothing spectular.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for sharing your experience and review! We greatly appreciate your honest feedback as it gives us a better understanding of where we need to improve.
The Trivac weighs 9.3lbs. This is attributed to both the blower tube and vacuum tube is attached as one piece versus the need to switch out tubes. The weight of the bag with debris may also contribute to the extra weight. If it is being used as a blower, the bag does not need to be attached. This may lighten the tool and make it more manageable. We do not recommend the Trivac for use with acorns, nuts, gumballs, pine cones, branches, and anything that may become a projectile to reduce the risk of damage/and or injury.
Thank you for choosing WORX!

I purchased this 2 weeks ago and its amazing! My brother got one for his birthday and said it was awesome, so I found it and purchased it for myself! Not too much mulching of leaves in FL but it works great and gets rid of grass clipping too! Who knew?! Love it!

A great machine. Only drawback for me is the collection bag. I am finding it hard to stay on my shoulder after a good amount of debris is taken in. How

Vacuum Mulching Simplicity
on December 11, 2020
Posted by: Haig
from Broomfield, CO
Gender:Male
This is my first vacuum mulcher after many years of raking and cleaning up my yard. The leaves on my property fall primarily on rocks so as I used the WG509 for the first time, I was pleasantly surprised that I could grab leaves (even wet leaves) with this vacuum from an uneven surface. The resulting mulch was fine-grained and what used to take well over a half-dozen bags fit in two.
But it gets better. I also have a lot of zebra grass that need to be cleaned up. I'm not saying this vacuum can or should mulch tall (8') grasses after cutting them down but after taking a few passes on them with my lawn mower, the dry grasses were appropriately sized for this machine to handle, I was able to mulch a dozen pretty large plants into 3 garbage bags. I wasn't expecting this so I'm pleased to have the versatility. The metal mulching components work well.
The vacuum isn't too heavy for most folks. You can cover a normal suburban backyard in a few minutes. The bag is handy, about the right size and the zipper enclosure is solid. You just need to adjust the handle length so it can be slung over your shoulder. Having a cord to navigate isn't always ideal but I imagine the weight of a battery on this machine would make it hard to lug around.
I used the blower occasionally to loosen up clumps of leaves. I already have a lighter weight battery-powered blower that is easy to maneuver but having the blowing option on this tool is handy as its one less tool to get out.
I'll probably use this vacuum twice a year - late fall and early spring so I'm hoping it will last a good long time.
I would recommend this to a friend!
