WORX Trivac Electric 3-in-1 Blower/Mulcher/Yard Vacuum

What's to love: Easily converts from a leaf blower to a vacuum cleaner.

What does it do: The Trivac has a patented 12-amp motor that rotates allowing the tool to be changed from a blower to a vacuum cleaner by turning a switch and attaching a collection bag. Use the vacuum to collect leaves and debris from shrubs, garden beds and along fence lines. A metal impeller shreds leaves and twigs for easier composting. The blower has two speeds. Low is useful for clearing paved areas while high moves large volumes of leaves. The Trivac sells for $99.99. Find out more at worx.com.
