Does this Leaf Vacuum Suck? WORX WG512/514 TRIVAC 3-in-1 Electric Leaf Blower/Mulcher/Yard Vacuum

I've had my WROX tri-vac for 3 "Leaf Harvest Seasons": Love it. I use the "garbage can accessory" with the WROX tri-vac to attach to a 33-gallon trash bin which fills up after about 1.5 house of continuous leaf vacuuming. The 33-gallon trash bin has wheels so I just roll it to my mulch pile to empty the trash bin. Wet leaves, as you indicated, will cause jams. So will sucking up thick twigs; small twigs it can chew trough.

Just saw at Sams this trivac but the 210mph for 69

Thanks for the review. I live in a heavily wooded area and want to make my own mulch for garden beds, and I think this will do the job quicker & easier than what I do now. I'll operate it only in dry conditions, and do some light cleanup of pine cones, rocks, wood chunks, etc before starting the vacuuming and we should be good.

Talk Talk Talk Talk Talk. Americans love to hear themselves talk, don't they? USE THE PRODUCT Less talk more using the product. You used it literally for 10 seconds then went RIGHT back to talking.

I made a kit like this for mine, it works...for the most part. Mine is a gas powered machine and so it can be quite noisy and heavy but I have been debating having an electric unit as turning on power is easier than going through the starting process of this one. Some of the parts I used was a Rubbermaid garbage pail, one of the older ones of smaller capacity, a toilet flange and a couple of 4" elbows and some fruit bag material as vent grating. I also found a kit that had a hose and a couple of vented paper bags but I just used the hose. Overall, if I could get my hands on this, I wouldn't have done this contraption since the parts added up to a similar price to this thing. It's also somewhat small in capacity. I say this as the vent grating is incredibly small and clogs and sometimes causes the top to blow off of the can after some time.

Great tips!!!!!!!

Cute baby! 😀…thanks for the tips!👍👍

Buy a gas mower with a bagger unit. Much more simplistic.

I love my worx. I have had the same one for 8 or 9 years and still going strong!

Shorten the beginning,my god

Any tips on getting that top orange door back on? I took it off and can’t seem to get it back

does he just talk the whole time instead of showing the vacuum?

Thank you Sir!!!🔥💯🫡

Do I need the extension cord?

Thank you...helped with my decision to purchase.

Thanks for your review.

By the looks of things it seems to me that the better method of collecting leaves would be.. using a cordless leaf blower to get the leaves to where you want them and then using a lawn mower to suck them into it's bag catcher.

If you then want the leaves mulched really well I'd get the Worx Leaf Mulcher. It does a great job shredding leaves down which are great for composting. :)

👍🔥💯

I would consider this and check whether adapters exist to shrink the tip. Or make one from whatever materials you have that are suitable for the environment. You can also mod the one which has the smaller tip to enlarge it and turn what you cut off into an adapter, but that's a bit more pass or fail.

Thanks! I’m terrible at reading manuals. This helped so much and loved the 3 tips!

Add a push cart that can carry two garbage cans Bleaf or not!

Stihl has one of these which runs off a battery now. I saw someone using one in a section of Pittsburgh. I do agree with other comments on here about getting a garbage can with wheels for ease of mobility around the yard. Your current container would make a great rain collector.

Trust me I have plenty of experience with leaves in my yard and I have a similar product from Toro. They seem to be similar. I find it useful to sort of cleanup the leaves when you are down to your garden beds or when the amount of leaves is light. I am speaking about the vacuum feature. I have a gas blower and a battery powered one that will blow circles around these models. I only use it for the vac feature. Trying to mulch up the bulk of the leaves would be very slow and most people wouldn't find it useful. Just too darn slow.

what was the trash can size and size of bags?? Very good review video. probably the best I have seen on you tube.

Anyone have experience with this on Pine needles? Does the vacuum/mulch feature work fine with them or does it just jam up?

I wonder if it would be suitable for blowing in fiberglass insulation, have a small building that needs insulation and do not want to remove plywood wall panels. Hopefully someone cane answer this or has used it for insulation purposes.

I purchased the same for the same reasons. Haven't used it yet. Thanks for the tutorial. I am hoping to put the paper leaf bags inside the garbage can. My town picks up the bagged leaves.

Why put leaves in a plastic bag? Plastic bag is not biodegradable. We put head waste into brown bag and local services picks up yard waste in brown bags! Please don’t use plastic

Thanks for this! Very helpful. I used your link and bought one!

This whole system is garbage and I hate saying that as I’m a big Worx tool fan but this tool is horrendous. It doesn’t blow with any power nor suction anything!! Look at the video it takes him forever to complete a task!!

I checked out the Amazon AU price for the Works Leaf Pro 125 AUD, I wish we could pay US prices.

I would suggest the wheel attachment for that garbage can. The attachment just twists into the bottom of the garbage can and clicks into place. Making the garbage can mobile will at least offer some mobility options if you are interested. The wheeled base is usually found next to the lids at the store(Home Depot).

I ordered it the collection hose but only came with the ratchet adapter...don't fit with the worx. Need orange adapter

I gave up on these bagger/mulchers years ago (I can't remember the brand I was using). It worked fairly well for collecting leaves over a small area but it was absolutely terrible with mulching the leaves.

I found that even my lawn mower, with a bagger attachment, doesn't do a very good job at mulching. I've come to the conclusion that collecting and mulching leaves in one step (while convenient) doesn't do a very good job at mulching. My lawn mower, without the bagger attachment, mulches leaves very well.

It really doesn't mulch the leaves, it just sucks the leaves into the bag or barrel. For me, I would prefer one that finely mulches the leaves so I could use them around the plants. This would not work for me.

I enjoyed all the tips you covered in your awesome video. All my kids and grandchildren are grown and moved away leaving this chore to my wife and I, we are in our mid-sixties so you can see why I enjoyed your video. Oh and now a new subscriber to your channel. You have a blessed day and Happy Holidays. Aloha from Kansas

I liked it just fine but careful with fresh sticks and small stones can lodge in the shredder and kill the motor as I learned from experience 2 hours after I opened the box I broke it with a half inch pebble 🤣

cheap does not equate to good

Awesome tips, sir. Esp the point 3. Thank you very much. God bless your family.

It's Mega Maid! She's gone from suck to blow!

Thanks much! Looks a little slow. I'll think I'll continue to use my mulching mower. and then bag pickup.

What sucks is that a leaf vacuum even exists. Haven’t people ever heard of a rake?!

My own experience is these products truly suck and I do not mean leaves.

In nature, forests worldwide, dropped leaves decay & return to the soil and then feed the vegetation and trees all around where they have fallen.

The bagged leaves in neighborhoods are picked up and then they go to companies who pile them high, let them go thru stages of fermentation, decay, etc., and then they're made into products SOLD back to consumers.

Gotta have that gorgeous looking lawn.....😏

I have a older model only one problem, I have is the zipper on the bag.

My bag kept ripping so I only use the blower

I have a worx blower/vac and love it, different model and use it for certain areas large areas i still mulch wit mower then bag because this would take too long. In between bushes along fence around garden etc this thing is fantastic, bought for my father years ago when i heard complaining about his leaves saw how great it was so wife got me one. Great addition to yard work arsenal
