I have but one complaint...

I cleared my front yard containing two big maple trees in about 2 and a half hours, made 5 or 6 bags out of what would've been 12-15 if I had raked and bagged them, and it would've taken twice as long. My one complaint, it's the dust, oh my lord the dust. I had to go wash my car after I was done, then shower myself. It's the mesh material of the can cover, dust goes right through it, and with the pressure from the vacuum it's constantly blowing it out, the whole neighborhood was cloudy. It'd be great if there was a cover that could contain most of that, then it would be just about perfect.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Lasted less than 1 hour

Took it out of the box, began mulching dry live oak leaves. Worked well for an hour. Then on second bag, impeller started clanking, smoke came out of the end of the tube, and motor is dead. Nothing stuck in the mulcher, but it appears the nut holding the impeller in place is loose. Literally ONE hour. Will add to review based on warranty response by Worx. Also, the leaf bag is not ergonomically designed and gets quite heavy. The blower motor literally covers the operrator in mulch dust, so a mask and overalls are a must in order to operate.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for sharing this experience with us, Brian. The Trivac Leaf Collection Bag has a special breathable fabric that allows necessary airflow and minimizes dust, but not 100% of it. We always recommend that our customers follow standard safety precautions while using our tools - including wearing safety eyewear, gloves, mask, appropriate shoes/clothing, and keeping hair tied back. Thank you for being safe. For vacuuming, make sure the tube and bag are properly installed in position, or else the machine can not start. We are more than happy to get you back up and running. WORX tools are covered by a limited 3 year manufactures warranty. Be on the lookout for an email from me shortly!
Thank you for choosing WORX!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] as a previous user of worx products (20v edger/weed eater and 20v blower) I was eager to tried your 12 amp 3 in 1 blow/vac/mulch....watched your commercials on how to use and it's features...when I got my order it did not work nearly half as well as your commercial showed...very clumsy to use, hard to blow leaves in grass and I was covered in dust from the mulcher (recovery system)...would not recommend this product thank you

Unit is too heavy, hood and tube to cumbersome, and hood cover would not stay on trash can. I returned the unit to your company

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Trivac features are great and easy to use, only trouble I find is that the machine is a bit heavy for me. It would be nice if there was a strap to go over the shoulders so that some of the weight would be better distributed
I would recommend this to a friend!

When sucking up leaves this thing gets stuck on small twigs or pine cones. Wouldn’t recommend.

We recommend blowing the leaves into a pile and then set the Trivac to vacuum mode to avoid these objects. This information will be passed up to the appropriate department.

It sucks, just like it should!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First off, I was skeptical. How could a machine that claims to mulch and blow at the same time work, especially when it's electrict?
I have a leaf mulcher, but I was sick and tired of bending over to pick up the leaves to have the stuff mulched. With this beauty, I can blow the leaves into piles, mulch it, and lay it out where I want. For the blowing, I use my backpack blower (Sorry Worx, but I'm keeping it honest). The Worx can be heavy if using the blower function, as there is no strap or clips for straps. Once finished, I use the Worx to vacuum and mulch the leaves. It works great. Just watch to not vacuum the sticks. I periodically turn it off to let any "heavy" matter fall out the barrel. Once the bag is relatively full, I empty it in landscaping area or compost pile.
This is a perfect product for quick cleaning before a snow storm (to get all those late leaves that clog the snow blower), cleaning the fence line, or reducing leaf piles to fine mulch. Don't let the fact that it is corded scary you away. You don't have to worry about gas and the storage footprint is small.
The cons... -It's heavy if not using the shoulder strap and bag (which is only used for suction). -There are no clip holders for a shoulder strap. -Avoid picking up sticks, even small ones, as they will jam the impellor and waste your time clearing the darn thing. -If you get a "clog," you may have to reverse and shoot the leaves out using the blower mode (Just point at your neighbor's yard🤫). To me, this is why the blower function is so important. It's great as producing leaf confetti🎊!.

Disappointed, and surprised that I am....

I’ve purchased just about everything Worx has offered all the way back to the early days. I’ve had great luck with all of their products, but not this one. I got the Trivac set up and was anxious to get started. The unit ran for about 6 minutes and then jammed to a full stop on a small twig. After struggling to get it unjammed, I thought, well, better be careful..... limit it just to leaves. So, I restarted and it ran for maybe 2 minutes and then just quit. I have no idea why. I’ve tried everything to get it going. No such luck. So, I headed over to the hardware store and bought a Toro, because I had to get the work done — winter is coming fast. I don’t think I have the energy or the confidence to bother to return it. Heck, I hadn’t even mailed the warranty card yet. I just set the unit on my workbench and will hope to be able to figure out why it won’t run sometime this winter. But, for about those first 5 minutes, I was pretty impressed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
