WORX WG512 12 Amp Trivac 3-in-1 Electric Leaf Blower, Vacuum & Mulcher

In this review the WORX WG512 Trivac is judged on ease of use, power and versatility for routine yard cleanup. The bottom line: this lightweight 3-in-1 electric tool is best for homeowners who want a single, easy-to-handle machine that blows, vacs and mulches leaves efficiently without gas maintenance. The Trivac's 600 cfm airflow, two-speed control and 16:1 mulch ratio make it a practical choice for everyday leaf work, and the quick-release collection bag keeps disposal straightforward.

Key Features

• TRIVAC 3-IN-1 DESIGN: Switch from blower to vacuum to mulcher with a single dial to cut the number of tools you need and speed up yard tasks.
• POWERFUL AIRFLOW: The 600 cfm performance clears wide swaths of leaves quickly, reducing time spent on open lawns and driveways.
• 161 MULCH RATIO: Mulches leaves down to a 16:1 ratio so far fewer collection bags are needed and yard waste is easier to manage.
• EASY TO USE: Weighing under 10 lbs with a quick-release bag, the unit allows near one-handed operation and fast composting or disposal.
• 2 SPEEDS: Low speed helps tidy tight corners while the higher setting delivers up to 70 mph to move stubborn debris on open areas.
• 12A ELECTRIC MOTOR: The corded motor provides consistent power without gas maintenance, offering a quieter and cleaner operation for residential use.

Who It's For

The WORX WG512 is aimed at homeowners with small to medium yards who want a single, lightweight tool for seasonal leaf cleanup and general yard maintenance. It is especially suitable for seniors or anyone who prefers a tool that is easy to lift and maneuver and does not require fuel mixing or engine service.

It is less appropriate for large properties or professional landscapers who need long runtime without a cord or higher raw power for heavy debris. If you need commercial-grade performance or a cordless option for remote sites, look elsewhere.
