More Than A Blower!!!!!!!!!!

I received the Trivac as a gift for Christmas. This has to be the best gift ever because I hate raking leaves. I thought this tool was just a blower but it blows vacuum and mulches the leaves in a collection bag. Making my job easier and faster to complete. I have a lot of trees and leaves down in my yard it helped me out a lot because I hate raking and packing them in to trash bags. Not only do it save me money from buying bags but making the job much more fun. All I have to do is wand it past the leaves to pick it up. I love this tool wouldn't trade it for anything.
Does what they say it does. A couple ot things learned while using it: 1. Grinds dry leaves great - haven't had any fresh leave to try yet. 2. Works with individual leaves or small piles. I found for large piles of large cottonwood leaves, they back up right at the entrance so I ended up just setting the Worx down with the opening right at the pile, then hand pushing the leaves in to keep it clear. Worked that way - and faster than raking, so OK. 3. The strap for the bag is a little too short for my 5'10" body and it isn't comfortable as the bag fills up and gets heavy. Fixed with a piece of rope. But would suggest a longer strap on the next design. 4. I haven't used others, but from what I read, they all need tools to switch from vac to blow or back. This one has a lever - 2 seconds and a 90 degree switch, and you're done.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love the power and versatility of this tool! I generally use the blower to move all of the leaves into one section of my yard, and then flip the little orange lever to vacuum and mulch all of those leaves for my garden. Love being able to use and recycle all of the natural materials in my yard!
LOVE THE OPTION OF PUTTING THE STRAP ON MY OLD BONES AND CLEANING MY DECK OF DEBRIE IT;S AMAZINGLY LIGHTER THAN WE IMAGINED THANKS FOR MULCHER IT;S EASY TO SHRED THE LEAVES NOW LOVE LOVE LOVE IT
I purchased the trivac to aid in my leaf cleanup and found it much easier to use than the conventional blower vacs. It is easy to change from blower to vac, and seems to have good vac power. The blower feature is a little different to adjust to because of it's location on the tube but it's all a learning curve.
I purchased this unit a month ago and used it for the first time this week. The unit's light weight and ergonomic flexibility make it, and yard work a breeze. The ample size mulch colletion bag allows the disposal of material easy to manage and place anywhere on your property.( I deposit mine into the garden and till into the soil.)It also works great in the composter. The price, easy use and cost effective productivity make it the best gardening tool I have ever purchased. I not only recommend it, I encourage gardeners and homeowners to do themselves a favor and purchase one. They will not regret it.
