10 best yard vacuum mulchers

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

Product features

3-in-1: Blow, Vacuum, Mulch

The perfect yard clearing tool. Say goodbye to your rake, and you’re going to be using a lot fewer garbage bags.

One-Handed Operation

All this power and functionality only weighs 8.6 lbs, so you can operate it and haul it around the yard with just one hand.

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 1).

Easy Bag Removal

A durable leaf collection bag is included with the TRIVAC, and it detaches quickly for emptying and cleaning.

One-Touch Conversion From Blower to Vacuum

Just turn the knob. The patented articulating mower switches from Blower mode to Vacuum mode as quick as that.

A Wide, Strong Stream of Air

600 Cubic Feet per Minute, blowing out at 75 MPH, from a motor spinning at 16,500 revs/min is more than enough air volume and force to clear the largest lawns with the biggest trees.

Metal Mulcher

The durable, high-efficiency metal impeller boasts a 16:1 mulch ratio. That means 16 bags worth of leaves get chopped up into 1 bag. No more lining the curb with dozens of bags of leaves.

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.

• All-in-one design: blower, mulcher, and yard vacuum with flip-of-a-switch conversion
• Powerful 12-amp motor makes is the clean, smell-free, efficient alternative to gasoline-powered alternatives
• Delivers an airspeed of up to 210 mph, strong enough for the toughest wet leaves and debris
• 26-gallon collapsible spring bucket ideal for garden debris
• The spring bucket is great for fallen leaves, grass clippings, weeds, plant material and more.
• Bag collapses down to 3-inches for easy reusable storage

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.

Product description

WORX WG505 3-in-1 Blower/Mulcher/Vacuum, 9" x 15" x 20", Orange and Black

Clearing your lawn of leaves and debris just got a whole lot easier. The TRIVAC 3-in-1 Blower / Yard Vacuum / Mulcher blows out 80-210 mph of airflow with 350 CFM of air volume. That’s a lot of power that also switches into a vacuum to clear your lawn of leaves. 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.



WORX WA4054.2 LeafPro Universal Leaf Collection System for All Major Blower/Vac Brands

What used to take all day can now be completed in a fraction of the time with the Worx LeafPro. Universal Leaf Collection System. Hook it up to pretty much any leaf blower/vacuum on the market and suck up all the leaves on your lawn. You’ll have to stop to empty it far less than if you’re just using the bag that came with the blower/vacuum. And if your blower/vacuum has mulching capabilities, you can fit an entire large yard worth of leaves into one waste container and only empty it once when you’re done. That’s why we call it a no-touch, high-capacity leaf collection system. The Leafpro is durable, with a hood made of tear-resistant material, a professional-quality 8-foot hose, and a multi-fit adapter that forms a tight seal with the output valve about 90% of the blower/vacuum out there. It works with Black & Decker, Husqvarna, Poulan, Craftsman, Ryobi, Toro, Murray, and many more. And while it fits most of our Worx blower/vacuums, this model is not compatible with the Turbine Fusion. Check out the WA4057 model for use with that blower/mulcher/vacuum. It wasn’t so long ago that you needed a rake and an entire Saturday to clear a large lawn. With the Leafpro hooked up to your trusty blower/vacuum, you’ll be back on the couch before you know it.

• Product 1: 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
• Product 1: 16:1 MULCH RATIO: The metal impeller chops 16 bags of leaves into one and it’s built to last, so the TRIVAC will be around to clear your lawn for years to come
• Product 1: ONE-HANDED OPERATION: When in blower and vacuum modes, you only need one hand to handle all that power—it’s only 9.5 pounds
• Product 1: ADJUSTABLE AIRFLOW SPEED: Sometimes you need to slow it down to clean out corners or small spaces, so the blower can be brought down to 80 mph
• Product 2: STOP EMPTYING THE BAG OVER & OVER: Hooks up to your leaf blower/vac and empties into a 32-96 gallon waste container (not included)
• Product 2: FITS ALL MAJOR BRANDS: Works with both gas and electric leaf blowers/vacuums. Its universal adapter fits 90% of all blower/vacs on the market

User questions & answers

Question:	the measurements on 3.5 rectangular pan
Answer:	The first glass appears to be loaded with minerals. Thats the reason. The water that stays still inside this alkaline filter, will absorb the minerals after some minutes and thats the taste. What i’ve been doing is filling a 2 litter glass bottle and serve water that way. You can get a cheap PPM meter (for $10-$15 on amazon), and you can confirm what I am saying. First batches come full of minerals, then almost no minerals.
Question:	are they BPA free
Answer:	You should use this with a complete RO system for the best results especially if you have a well system. If you are on public water and do not wish to invest in an RO system, you should at least add a 10 or 5 micron sediment filter before this one to prevent it from getting junked up. In the end, there really is no substitute for an RO system.
Question:	Do lids hold tight? Or do liquids within spill out on shaking
Answer:	i believe so. Its usually the last filter i change everytime
Question:	i am considering the 10 piece set. description says 10 containers and 5 lids. is that correct
Answer:	have to take a water sample before and after to a pool place they should be able to tell you.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the sweeper function the same as a blower? If not, what is the purpose of this function
Answer:	The Sweeper is a vacuum function. It is for light use only, which means it works best sucking up small leaves and debris (orange tree size leaves at most). Not recommended to suck up twigs and large size leaves. If you do, you will be taking apart the bag and tube to dislodge leaves and twigs entangled in the vac a few times during use. I use a screw driver/small probe to dislodge the debris. I've used it on grass lawns and flower beds to remove leaves with no real issues. I've had my 40 volt vac for over 5 years and can't live without it. It is also a useful tool to remove leaves from planters with medium size gravel or river rocks (it will not pick up the gravel). I also recommend vacuuming small amounts of leaves at a time instead of in bunches to avoid clogging the vac. Despite the small inconvenience of unclogging the vac, I couldn't do without it, it beats blowing the leaves, gathering them and then picking them up. Great tool for small jobs.
Question:	do the bags come with it
Answer:	A cloth bag comes with it. It is NON disposable. You empty it when it's full.
Question:	Does it include charger
Answer:	Yes. Keep in mind like I did when I bought it. Amazon and other distributors have two prices listed for the B&D blower/vac. The lower price (under 100 dollars) does not have battery and charger and the higher priced blower/vac (140 dollar item) does have everything.
Question:	How long will it vacuum with a full charge
Answer:	I could vacuum my courtyard around 2 times before I had to charge it. It didn't take long to charge.

User questions & answers

Question:	Are there blades on the bottom? I need to vacuum leaves from an uneven fake grass area
Answer:	I do believe that if you go to Troy Bilts website www.troybilt.com you can download the manual from there. It will be under Parts and Support on their homepage. You need the model number and the serial number.
Question:	Will I look stupid vacuuming my lawn
Answer:	Unfortunately, we do not manufacture a replacement bag for your model.
Question:	I would like to order a replacement bag for the sun joe sbj802E how do i do it
Answer:	About 4 inches
Question:	what country is it made in
Answer:	Mine measured ID: 3-7/8", OD: 4-1/8". The hose is unbelievably stiff, and assembly of the nozzle required correction of some ill-fitting parts. Installing the vacuum control cover could be more that a little difficult if you don't have the right tools. This accessory could be a lot better, particularly given the relatively high price. The product is usable, but you can believe the critical reviews.

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.
