A Lean, Green, Mulching Machine

Shredding leaves with a traditional gas shredder/mulcher can disturb the environment with noxious air and loud noise. Thankfully, with the electric WORX Leaf Mulcher, you can put the 'green' back in 'green thumb'.

Showcasing a powerful 13 Amp motor that delivers 8,500 RPMs, the WORX Leaf Mulcher will reduce a mass of dead leaves and twigs to 1/11th of its original size. That means you won't be lugging 11 bags of whole leaves to the curb for distribution or disposal--instead, you'll only have to worry about a single bag.

With the WORX Leaf Mulcher's 13-inch cut diameter and oversized mouth, you can mulch up to 53 gallons of leaves per minute. Acres of dried leaves can be collected and pulverized into manageable mounds of mulch in practically no time at all.

Create Mulch and Compost

It is estimated that almost 25% of the urban waste stream is made of yard waste and debris. In the fall, it can account for more than 60% of what flows into your local landfill.

The WORX Leaf Mulcher actually transforms your yard's dead leaves and debris, which would normally end up in a landfill, into vitamin-rich mulch and compost that can be recycled into your garden or flowerbeds.

Shredded leaf mass furnishes nutrients that assist in new plant growth during the growing season. Furthermore, mixing mulch into your garden and flower beds will aerate the soil and encourage new growth. Additionally, leaf mulch will increase water retention in the soil, reducing watering time and saving money.

Compact, Versatile, and Easy to Use

At less than 20 pounds, the WORX Leaf Mulcher features a compact design, in which the disassembled parts nest neatly together for convenient off-season storage on a shelf in your shed or garage. Setup takes only a few minutes, with absolutely no additional tools required!

In addition, the mulcher features a dust-reducing clean-air motor cooling system. Air and mulched leaves are separated through an external cooling air intake and exhaust to significantly reduce dust generation.

For further convenience, The WORX Leaf Mulcher's safe Flex-a-Line bladeless mulching system features tool-less cutting line replacement and a universal bag holder that accepts both paper and plastic bags. To top it off, an oversized on/off switch allows for easy, hassle-free operation.

The WORX heavy-duty Leaf Mulcher is the one machine that will end hours of misery once and for all and will make fall cleanup fast and easy!

This is achieved with the safe flex-a-line bladeless mulching system, offering the added benefit of tool-less cutting line replacement.

Clean Air Motor Cooling

This patented tech significantly reduces the dust that is typically generated during the mulching process by utilizing an external air intake and exhaust system.

53 Gallons of Leaves per Minute

That’s right, this bladeless mulcher can chop up a lot of leaves! Blow or rake up all the leaves in your yard and stuff them into the mulcher.

11:1 Mulching Ratio

Turn 11 bags of leaves or debris into just 1 bag. This mulcher features the Flex-a-Line system, which uses heavy-duty string trimmer line to chop leaves instead of dangerous blades.

Tool-free Assembly

It’s easy and quick to put together, and it’s just as easy to take apart and store for the offseason. Each of the parts nest into one another, so they take up hardly any space on a shelf.

Drag Fewer Bags to the Curb

Turn 11 bags of leaves, twigs, or debris into just 1 bag. You can take acres worth of leaves and reduce them into a much more manageable task. Then you only have a couple of bags to dispose of. Or you can reuse that mulch in gardens and flower beds.

Makes Yard Work Easy

Standard plastic yard work bags or reusable paper bags slide right over the stand, the mulcher is placed on top, and the funnel locks into place. All you need to do is start feeding leaves through the top into the Flex-a-Line system that chops them up into 1/11th of their size.

Product description

The Worx 350 CFM – 12A Electric TRIVAC Blower/Vac is your 3-in-1 complete leaf and debris clearing system. Blow the leaves into a pile, flip the switch and suck them up and mulch them into the collection bag, and dump it for compost or collection. It takes a chore that often lasts all afternoon and makes it go much quicker. It takes 18 bags worth of leaves and chops it down into 1 with its powerful two-stage metal impeller and shredder blades. If a leaf blower is better than a rake, the TRIVAC is better than a regular ol’ leaf blower. You don’t even need to switch out tubes to change between functions. You just flip a switch. And that tube is angled so you can get under patio furniture and the deck without having to squat or get on your hands and knees. And even though this machine blows out air between 80 and 210 mph, it weighs less than 10 lbs and has been engineered to be operated with just one hand. That means almost anyone can use it to clean up the yard or blow out the driveway. The collection bag technically holds 1.2 Bushels of yard waste, but again, with the 18:1 mulcher, that’s going to be 18x more leaves than if you were raking or blowing the traditional way. Stop making yard work such a chore, and grab yourself a TRIVAC 3-in-1 Blowing, Vacuuming & Mulching System.

• LEAF BLOWER, MULCHER & VACUUM: Yard work doesn’t stand a chance with this 3-in-1. And it’s fun to use. Leaves and debris on your lawn won’t be there for long
• QUICKLY SWITCH MODES: Changes from leaf blower to vacuum mode and back again with just the flip of a switch. No tools needed, just you and your Worx TRIVAC
• METAL MULCHER: The metal impeller cuts in two stages, chopping leaves down to an 18:1 mulch ratio – that’s 18 bags of leaves mulched into 1
• 2 SPEEDS FOR DIFFERENT: JOBS 80 mph to 210 mph and 350 CFM. Go slow for pavement or tight corners. Dial it up to 210 on the open lawn
• DO IT YOURSELF. DO IT BETTER. DO IT WITH WORX: WORX tools are engineered with cutting-edge technology, and above modern efficiency standards, so you can build a cost-effective tool collection that’s been designed to last
• ONE-HANDED OPERATION: Believe it or not, the Worx Trivac is designed to be controlled with just one hand. It’s only 8.6 lbs in blower mode, and the ergonomic design funnels the wind in a way that’s easy to handle
• GET HARD TO REACH PLACES: The clever tube design curls up at the lip to get under lawn fixtures and landscaping elements. Perfect for when you’re in vacuum mode

Product features

Single-handed Operation

Compact and lightweight, so even though it’s powerful, almost anyone can still use it with just one hand. And that slim design makes it easy to store.

Innovative Tube Design

Easily reach under the deck and patio furniture, or sweep under the cars in the garage without having to back them out.

Blow or Mulch or Vacuum

This powerful 3-in-1 is the ultimate solution to leaf and debris collection. Instead of just being able to blow leaves all over the yard, you can suck them up and mulch them with the same device.

Switches Modes Quickly

You don’t need any tools to switch functions, either. It’s just the flick of a switch to turn it from a leaf blower into a vacuum or mulcher.

Metal Impeller

The two-stage, all-metal system consists of a durable impeller connected to a shredder blade, which chops 18 bags of leaves or debris down into just 1.

Easy to Use

With all that power and functionality, you’d think only a lumberjack could handle the TRIVAC. That couldn’t be further from the truth. It’s only 9.3 lbs! And it’s engineered to funnel all that wind power from the back to the front, so you only need one hand to operate it.

Fewer Bags on the Curb

With an 18:1 mulch ratio, that means you can mulch 18 bags of leaves or debris down into just one. That’s because the all-metal mulching system chops leaves down into 1/18th of their original size. C’mon, that barely even sounds like yard work.

User questions & answers

Question:	does dust escape
Answer:	Yes, some dust does escape while using the vacuum function. It depends on how much dry dirt is in the debris that you are picking up.
Question:	I've got lots of acrons falling. Will this pick them up and will the acorns hurt the unit
Answer:	I just uyse mine for the first time. I purchased it elsewhere because I wanted it right away oh, but it is the same model. As someone else noted, the instruction manual specifically says to avoid acorns. What ends up happening is that it will get stuck in the impeller, you can hear it clanking around, and that will eventually damage the blades, especially on an electric model like this. So, while it will pick up the acorns, I wouldn't recommend it. I have found that reducing the speed and hovering above leaves that happen to have acorns under them works pretty well to get the leaves. I also have a portion of my driveway that is gravel, and if I hover above that, it will pick up the leaves without picking up the gravel.
Question:	I'm assuming that it is a three prong plug but want to make sure before I buy an extension cord with it
Answer:	It is a two prong plug on the blower (this is normal) but you still want to use/buy a grounded extension cord to your supply outlet.
Question:	I'm 5'1, 110 lbs and 65 yrs old, not real strong, but determined. Do you think I could handle this blower
Answer:	NO, don’t buy this. I am 5’2 108 lbs. and 68 yrs., very determined to do my own yard work. The vac tube makes it impossible for me to handle the weight. As it is now, I have to hold the motor at chest height. There should be a shorter tube attachment option. Blower is no problem.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the gear ratio between wheel and brushes
Answer:	Not sure if the Himal Outdoor Zero Turn Mover Cover will fit your cub cadet 42" zero turn, your would have to get the dimensions of your cub cadet and compare it to the Himal Outdoor Zero Turn Mower Cover dimensions. My guess is that it would fit your cub cadet as it fits my Toro 32" zero turn mower with extra room when I cover it. Hope this helps.
Question:	It looks like there is NOT a cover on the hopper that would prevent leaves from rolling/blowing out as some models have. Am I correct? Thanks
Answer:	I have a 52" Gravely zero turn that measures 65" wide with the chute out and it easily covers it with a little room to spare, so I would think it would cover a 65". My mower is also 72" front to back on center, if that helps.
Question:	Has anyone mowed and swept (in the offset position) with it at the same time? Does that work? Does it pull straight
Answer:	Don't know the dimensions of the Kubota ZD221, but the Toro riding lawnmower measures, Height 40.7", Lenght 71.8", Width 35.3 ". The Himal cover fits this riding mower easy. The cover has two hold down straps at the bottom part of the cover to cinch the cover from side to side. Hope this helps for your Kubota.
Question:	Will this unit pick up lawn clippings on a thick bluegrass/rye grass lawn or is it just intended for leaves and debris

User questions & answers

Question:	where is this manufactured
Answer:	The Sun Joe leaf mulcher/shreader is manufactured in New Jersey.
Question:	I have a very large yard. What's the maximum length and size outdoor extension cord(s) I can use with this shredder without burning out the motor
Answer:	My extension cord is 50 feet long, 2 25s connected together. The current rating is for when the device is mulching, not just spinning, which in my experience if you are doing it alone is about 75% of the time. The risk is not in burning out the motor because of the cord, the risk is overheating the cord. If you are not overloading the motor, it should last, like mine has. Before you buy a heavy (hard to use) 14 or 12 gauge wire, try the 16 Gauge and feel the wire after 30 minutes of use, if it is warm or hot then you will need to use the higher gauge wire. Note: this device has two design flaws, the legs, no matter how you tighten them tend to slide down during use; and it is difficult to keep a paper leaf bag secured under the device, I use large rubber bands (garbage can size), the elastic band on the device doesn't work for paper bags.
Question:	Can I use the Birtish 230 Volt supply for this device
Answer:	I'm assuming the questionnaire means standard British 230 Volts. I'm not sure what would result as the motor is meant for standard U.S. 115 Volts so 230 Volts may over-speed the motor. Would suggest that a transformer be used to step down to 115 Volts.
Question:	Are the lines easy to replace? About how long do they last
Answer:	The lines are very easy to replace. The interval between changes depends on the material you are shredding. We just concluded our fall shred-a-thon - 32x55 gallon garbage bags stuffed with mostly maple and some oak leaves. There are very few sticks or twigs in our leaves, so we don't ever break a line. Over time they do wear, and when they shorten an inch or so, I put in new ones. I think I changed strings 3 times, mostly when grinding the oak leaves as they are tougher than the maple. Changing takes just a couple minutes and you can do it with gloves on!

Then, when you’re ready for collection, the TRIVAC turns into a mulcher, employing its sturdy metal impeller to chop leaves down at a 16:1 ratio. And the attachable collection bag holds 1.2 bushels of those mulched leaves. It’s easy to clean, easy to assemble and operate, and easy to carry, even while operational.

• 3 MAJOR YARD TOOLS IN ONE: Change functions with just a flip of the switch, no need to stop and change out a tube—go from a 210-mph blower to a vacuum that sucks up dry leaves

User questions & answers

Question:	Some reviews say it is heavier than appears. Could a 70+ year old handle it? Can you use 2 hands on the one handle
Answer:	Yeah I would say yes you can use 2 hands and should be able to use it if your pretty active 70+ I am 65 and it is no problem for me to use.
Question:	Does this come with the bag
Answer:	Yes, however the bag is very small. You are better off buying the WORX WA0030 Landscaping 26-Gallon Spring Bucket Yard Bag and putting a lawn bag inside. You can tighten the can cover over the yard bag and basically drag it behind you. It will fill an entire leaf bag and give you much more time in between bags. The one that comes with the blower/mulcher has to be emptied every 5 minutes otherwise.
Question:	Can 5' 4" be sucessful with this product? Will it vacuum hickory nuts? Mulch hickory nuts
Answer:	The manufacturer specifications state that it is designed to handle leaves and debris but does not speak to problem yard debris such as hickory nuts, pine cones, etc. We've reviewed a couple of personal reviews that indicates it does a great job with these items as well but there is no manufacturer documentation to support it.
Question:	Does anyone know the difference btw. the worx wg500, 502, 502.2, 505, 508, and 509? Confused
Answer:	From what I can tell:+ 500 has a plastic impeller. Bad idea for vacuum function.+ 502 ==> replaced by 509+ 502.2 Home Depot model looks 502/509+ 505 Upgrade the impeller to metal, a compelling advantage for product reliability. Increase mulch rate from 10:1 to 16:1.+ 508 The "compete with Toro" model. Swap out parts to convert from blower to vacuum. By using optimized parts, you gain slightly better performance at the price of needing to store all the parts together. I had a "dual use" Toro that functioned only as a blower after losing some of the vac parts. It runs quieter, and Depot states that you can get away with a lighter extension cord (16 Ga).+ 509 Upgrade to the 505. The 509 looks like it weighs 1/2 pound more through some combination of beefier motor and improved impeller. It improves much ratio from 16:1 to 18:1. I see more complaints about the weight in the 509 reviews than the 505 reviews. It looks like the 509 requires a heavier extension cord too.If you have a LOT of leaves, the 509 is probably your best option. If you have a lot of ground to cover with lower leaf density or want to do a quicker job with a 14-gauge rather than 12-gauge extension cord, go with the 505. If you want optimal performance, go with the 508 or a Toro system, which is designed to operate by switching tubes.

TRIVAC 3-in-1 Blower / Mulcher / Yard Vacuum with Metal Impeller (WG505)

The WORX TRIVAC 3-in-1 Blower / Mulcher / Vacuum has the versatility to change jobs with the flip of a switch. Because there are no tubes to switch between tasks, you can blow away debris at 210 mph, then easily change to vacuuming dry leaves at up to 14 gallons per minute all with a single tool combining the power of a leaf blower, vacuum, and mulcher.

More Benefits

As a blower, the TRIVAC produces an airspeed of up to 210 mph, strong enough for the toughest wet leaves and debris. While vacuuming, the high impact resistant impeller mulches leaves up to 1/10 of their original size. When in vacuum mode, the powerful motor in the TRIVAC generates 350 cubic feet of airflow per minute.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does the new blower/vac include the bag
Answer:	Yes, it does include the bag. However, because the manufacture will immediately change the next year model.........I purchased extra bags.
Question:	does it come with a cord
Answer:	No
Question:	It states this thing needs batteries. For what? Anyone know or is it a mistake
Answer:	I love mine, but it is electrical. I have a very long extension cord and do a wonderful edging/cleaning job (275 feet) of my corner plot in 1/2 hour. Maybe there is a battery run model that your reader is complaining about?
Question:	Does this unit have a metal impeller
Answer:	Dr Doug says yes, mike g. says no. The BV5600 already has a recall on it regarding the bottom lid coming undone to pose a laceration issue. In other words, you can lose fingers possibly if you don't get the new revised, better, improved, lite, less filling and lo-cal lid cover provided free by B & D. I bought the Harbor Freight $49 blower/vacuum unit and had to have my tailor sew in a metal zipper to replace the plastic one after returning three bags. But the plastic impeller broke finally after two year. Got brittle, I guess. I would suggest getting a metal impeller in the model you chose.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is it normal to come with a black Shredz-All ring instead of a blue one
Answer:	Yes, the current version of the Shredz-All ring is now black in color. The original color was blue.
Question:	How many bushels is the collection bag size? Thank you
Answer:	Leaf bag volume is 1.5 dry bushels.
Question:	What is the actual weight of the Toro 51621? I am looking to purchase for an 83 year old woman 110 pounds
Answer:	It weighs 9lbs. I purchased for my mother who is 70 years old and weighs about 110 lbs. It feels light to her and she loves how quickly it removes leaves.
Question:	Will it jam if it picks up bark with the leaves
Answer:	As powerful as it is, this machine generally doesn't pick up the bark from a neighbor's sycamore. It can jam if you try to take "too big a bite" of leaves & sticks -- that's generally fixed by turning down suction and letting the stuff fall back out. The UltraPlus is overall a big improvement.

Product description

Switch from blow to vac and mulch with just the turn of a dial. “Rake the leaves” with just this one tool in half the time it used to take you. And with the 16:1 mulch ratio, you’ll have far fewer bags to drag to the curb when you’re done. The 600 CFM – 12A Electric TRIVAC is here to make yard work so much easier. First off, all that tech is less than 10 lbs, so almost anyone can operate it with just one hand. The 2-speed control lets you blow on low for tight corners, and then crank it up to 70 mph for the open yard. 600 CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) is an awful lot of air and creates a nice wide stream to get even more done in less time. And the powerful 12A electric motor frees you from the expense and hassle of gas-powered blowers to give you a cleaner and quieter experience. Let’s talk some more about that mulching function. The patented articulating design lets you flip it into vacuum and mulch mode with just one turn. You don’t need to switch out the tube, and you certainly don’t need any tools to do it. It sucks up leaves into the metal impeller and shredder blades, which chops them up into 1/16th their regular size. So you can stuff 16x more leaves and yard debris into the 1.4 bushels collection bag than you could with a regular yard vacuum or a blower or a rake. Welcome to the TRIVAC, it’s the better way to go “rake the leaves.”

• LEAF BLOWER, MULCHER & VACUUM: The proprietary design changes from a blower to a vacuum with a mulcher with just the turn of a dial. Blow, vacuum, and mulch all day long if you want. But you won’t have to. The Worx Trivac makes quick work of yard work
• A WIDE, STRONG STREAM OF AIR: 600 CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) come streaming out of the wide-mouth tube. That’s high-capacity air volume so you clear your property with less passes back and forth
• METAL MULCHER: The metal impeller with its shredder blade cuts in two stages, chopping leaves down to a 16:1 mulch ratio – that’s 16 bags of leaves mulched into one
• QUICK, DETACHABLE BAG: When it’s time for composting or collection, the bag has an easy release. No muss, no fuss. Turn a dirty job into a quick one
• DO IT YOURSELF. DO IT BETTER. DO IT WITH WORX: WORX tools are engineered with cutting-edge technology, and above modern efficiency standards, so you can build a cost-effective tool collection that’s been designed to last
• 2 SPEEDS FOR DIFFERENT JOBS: Go slow for pavement or tight corners. On the open lawn, switch to speed 2 – up to 70mph – and see what it can do
• ONE-HANDED OPERATION: The Worx Trivac is designed to be controlled with just one hand. It’s only 9 lbs. and the ergonomic design funnels the wind so it’s easy to handle

User questions & answers

Question:	what kind of extension cord should I get
Answer:	Industrial extension.
Question:	How do you turn it on
Answer:	Thank you for your inquiry. The two speed on/off switch is located on the top of the handle.
Question:	Does it have a shoulder strap
Answer:	Yes it has a very nice and sturdy shoulder strap
Question:	does it have a metal or plastic impeller
Answer:	This specific model has a metal impeller, as you can see in the 2nd bullet of the description. However, you do need to watch the descriptions / specifications, as there is also a model with a plastic impeller, which yields a lower mulching ratio and will degrade faster.
