Happy Monday everyone! We had some beautiful weather outside over the weekend (until Sunday night, prayers to those affected by the storms!) so it was time to cross some Fall Maintenance items off my to-do list.
Since we’re living with the in-law’s for another 2 weeks until the house is done, I thought I’d do something nice for them and clean up the leaves in their backyard and off the deck. Ace Hardware gave me the WORX Blower/Vac/Mulcher to try out and what’s even better?
They have me an extra one to give away to one of YOU!
This Worx Trivac™ is actually really, really cool. It’s a blower, vac and mulcher all in one. Very lightweight and easy to carry around. You can even carry the leaf collector bag using the shoulder strap so you can do everything with one hand!
And there’s an easy blow/vac switch.
And the Worx Trivac automatically mulches everything for you. Saves tons of space in my trashcans from the normal big old leaves. You’ll be amazed how much you can actually pick up without having to empty the bag!
Too bad it only lasted about 24 hours before this deck was completely covered again… but at least I know it only takes me about 10 minutes to clean it up now!
So, who would like to win a Worx Blower/Vac/Mulcher?

kelly Keitzer says
When we moved into our house we had 7 trees taken down and still have 10 trees left in our yard. Our trees drop so many leaves that the kids don’t know that there is grass under all the leaves!!
Lauren R. says
We desperately need this! 1.6 acres of trees. Plus we like to do our neighbors yards for them too!
Kari Fink says
Our yard is completely covered by trees. This time of the year, I’m raking multiple times a week just to keep up with it!! Something like this would be a huge help!
Jenni says
Our yard has a TON of leaves! We live in a forest practically!! But it is so beautiful in the fall!
Anna says
We have a HUGE yard with lots of trees. This looks like the perfect tool to keep the yard and the driveway clean!
P.S. I love your blog. It’s one of the only ones I read almost every day! 🙂
Jen M. says
We recently moved into a home on 2+ acres with only 1/2 acre cleared. So yes, we have ALOT of leaves! 🙂
J.A. Garland says
We are ringed by oak trees. The have sharp edges on the leaves, definitely ouch! Would so love to win this!
Stacey Iadevito says
We have no trees but tons of leaves from the trees in other yards, this time of year. Such a pain.
Dana Taft says
Our yard has a ton of leaves. We have a fenced in yard for our dog so the leaves seem to stay and not blow on thru to our neighbors yard. I do love fall and seeing the colors change and leaves falling but it all has to be cleaned up. So thankful for a husband that loves yard work! 🙂
Lee Patterson says
I NEED this. We just moved and our new house, which is a rehab project has 3.5 acres of leaves (well, technically some of it is forest-esc, but the front and back yards are covered). I looked at my husband the other day – and said, how in the world are we doing to deal with this?
jody says
After the strong winds and storms yesterday, I don’t think it’s possible to rake all of those leaves!
lilia says
We just bought a house this year … and have a 4 month old baby. I thought … oh yeah, only a few trees, no problem. I spend all my time working, nursing or raking and it’s been so overwhelming! We’ve become those new neighbors that don’t keep the yard up and allow their leaves to blow onto their neighbors nice neat yards =( I hope they forgive us… at least this 1 year.
Jennifer Hurd says
We have so many trees and the Worx blower would make life SO much easier!
Laura says
We just talked about getting a leaf blower this past weekend. Sure would come in handy!
Ashley R says
We have leaves, but only from other peoples trees. 🙁 mostly though, we have long, sharp pine needles!!!
Tricia M says
My neighbors have a mighty old oak tree in their front yard and that thing takes forever to drop its leaves. All of the leaves blow right into our yard and up into my shrubs. We are always raking and bagging leaves late into December. Nothing like trying to rake leaves around your Christmas lights. The vacuum on this would be perfect for sucking the leaves out of my shrubs!
Cindy Aldridge Ingram says
I need this! Our blower is gas powered – I can’t start it by myself! I could use this to clean off my porches and front walkway!!
Kathleen h says
This looks awesome. After all the wind we have a ton of leaves to clean up!!
LL (@LLsoInLOVE) says
Although I am NOT a fan of yard work…this would help make it so much easier! We just had those bad storms pass through here in Michigan and it is still very windy…so there are leaves and debris that need to be taken care of. *Fingers crossed* Thank you!!
travelingsole says
Pick me! I love clearing my yard. I have to borrow my brothers leaf blower though. I live in the woods so it’s nearly a full time job to keep the yard looking nice.
Kathy Nielsen says
Talk about tree leaves. I live outside of Eugene, Oregon up in the hills. I have more leaves than you could imagine, on the patio, walkway (careful where you walk) deck and essentially brought into the house. I could really, really use the blower.
Leah Adams says
I’ve got a ton of leaves and pine straw!
Christine says
I have a yard, sidewalk and gutters FILLED with leaves this and every year. I do not have a single tree on my property. They are all from the (multiple) neighbor’s yards!
Katie Friar says
we have gotten rid of some of our trees but still have plenty of leaves!
Harsha V says
We recently bought our home and in need of this vacuum to clean up all the leaves and dirt from my yard.
Rika Mullins says
This is A W E S O M E!!!
Kim Weir says
That is the coolest tool ever!! I love it when they make thing like this that multitask! Right now the only way we take care of our leaves is raking! Who has time for that anymore?!
Kelly Blount says
Yes, we have many, they won’t ‘leaf’ us alone! We clear them up, but they keep coming back!
Carolyn White says
We live on a farm so yard leaves blow away. However, we get tons of leaves on our patio and in the garage! This would be perfect for me since Thee Farmer is so busy and doesn’t even notice the leaves and corn dust!
Lindsey Holton says
How cool is this!
Renata johansen says
I really need it it is hard to clean the yard being pregnant, especially because my husband come back to home at night .
Angelique says
Cool!!
Coco says
We need this! We have almost no trees but all the neighbors have huge trees and you can’t even see the driveway or yard in the fall! We live on a steep hill and all that pile up on the driveway freaks me out! It takes forever to clean it all up.
Debbie says
We have lots of trees, therefore, we have lots of leaves. My husband would love this.!
diane says
i have a moderate amount of leaves, but the great thing about this is that i can take what has fallen and empty the bag into my compost bin!!! love it!
Anna Beth says
I would LOVE to win this!!!
Nicole Genz says
I will do anything to win this! Our yard is covered!
danielle says
New home and of course it is the only home in the neighborhood with a front yard full of trees. In less than 2 weeks my gutters are full and as of today my front yard and sidewalk is a pond of leaves. New home…New tools and gadgets a must!
Jena @ Involving Color says
Erin, I’m kind of wishing I had chosen one of these to review! I may have to go pick one up! My yard is totally covered in leaves right now.
Carrie M says
We just moved to WA from the desert and are buried in leaves! Right now the extras are being stored in the back of our pickup truck until we have more room to dispose of them.
Mandy W says
We only have about 20 sq. ft. on an acre that isn’t covered by trees. Ugh.
Krista says
We have no trees, but tons of leaves from our neighbors trees! Needing this badly right now!
Brandy says
We love the beauty & shade of the trees around our home…but the fallen leaves are a burden! The Worx Trivac looks like a fun and easy product to use to clear the leaves off my deck, porch & patio.
Suzanne J Dean says
Oh my goodness I think we have more than we had last year..if that’s even possible. I’m so tired of raking ugh. We’ve seen some neighbors with one of these & I mighta been a wee bit envious LOL! Thanks for the giveaway!
hugz,
Suzanne
Ellen Casper says
18 big trash bags full so far this year 🙁
Sara says
We have a half acre of tons of trees…they all manage to somehow keep their pretty leaves out of the pool, so that’s always a plus. I hate raking leaves
Donna Wright says
the leaves are falling while I am sleeping. they never stop!
Holly says
My husband is OBSESSED with leaves in our yard. It makes him crazy. He would love this!!
Diana Allen says
You know what? I do not have a single tree in my yard, but all of my neighbors do. And guess what? I think every single one of their leaves end up in my yard!! Yep. I don’t see them out collecting the leaves but I sure have to!! I would love to win this item – it would make life so much easier and might even make the neighbors a little envious!! Thanks.
Patsy Behrendt says
I would really like a chance to win this since our blower has quit & it was so heavy! My husband had heart surgery in Sept and I am now doing the yard work instead of him! We have a huge yard with about 25 trees including pine trees! This would be wonderful and so handy! And since I have three dogs, it is extremely hazardous to walk through the yard and not be able to see what is under the leaves!!! Thanks for offering it.
Trish Ford says
Would love to win this combo…..would really help us on our 2 acres – which is mostly all trees.
Ashley Ponder Richards says
This is one giveaway I would LOVE to win. We have 14 trees in our yard and right now there are leaves and pine needles everywhere.
Eileen says
I’d love to win this.
Danica H says
Yes….Ridiculous amounts of leaves in our yard from our neighbors trees as well as our own!!! **BIG sigh**
Danielle says
This is our first fall in our house (first time home owners, woo hoo!) and the first time we have really had to take care of our own leaves since we were earning allowance as kids 🙂 Our driveway is the worst spot though! it’s like a wind tunnel that traps mounds of leaves up against the garage and the back door! This blowervacmulchercoolthing sounds fun, I would fight my hubby to get to be the one to use it haha!
Laura says
We have tons of leaves in our yard! We just bagged up a ton, but there are so many still on the trees so I’m sure we have plenty of more work ahead of us!
Cindi Knighton says
So need this & would love to win it!
Lauren Judd says
We haven’t cleaned up leaves for YEARS…I’m sure our neighbors would love for us to have this to improve our curb appeal! And make their house look better. Plus cleaning up the leaves would actually be fun for once!
Jessica C says
After the weekend storm this would make clean up so much easier!
jeany embry says
We are surrounded by neighbors with large trees and fight a constant battle to keep our yard cleared. We have seen the Worx products on TV and would love to own them all. We would love to start our collection of products with winning the leaf vac/blower/mulcher.
Kathy says
We live in the middle of the woods so you can only imagine the leaves. I would absolutely love to have this…especially the leaf shredder.
Nancy Deffner says
6 huge oaks trees so millions of leaves!
Cindy A. says
YES! We have leaves from our trees, leaves from the neighbor’s trees, leaves from passers-by. Sometimes I wonder if people drive by and throw their bagged up leaves in our yard. Ha! 😉
Heather Haugen says
We have a bunch of trees on our 1 acre property. Kind of a pain to get rid of the leaves!

Chelsea says
Wow that’s awesome! Most of the leaves in our yard are from our neighbors:)
Jamie Harrison says
We have TONS of leaves in our backyard and it’s from a tree that isn’t even in our yard!!! My neighbors have a HUGE backyard tree, so big that the branches extend into our backyard which really isn’t a big deal but wow, we have tons and tons of annoying leaves from that thing!
Laura Ari says
We have 12 big oak trees in our yard and they drop tons of leaves all fall.

August Patterson says
I would love this!!!! We have a huge tree in our front yard that drops millions of leaves every minute of every day in the fall & winter. With 3 little kids, I can’t keep up with the raking.
Susan says
We have a lot of leaves and also pine needles and pine cones!
Krystin says
We just moved into our first home! We have quickly realized that with a half acre and tons of mature trees it’s hard to keep up with only rakes!! This would save us so much time!!
KaySue says
We have a lot of leaves that collect around our front porch and garage door area.
Peggy says
This looks like one I could actually use myself………..lighter and easier…………..I don’t usually enter these contests but this one looked like something I’d like to win!! Thanks!
Harmony B says
Leaves and never ending pine needles.
Windy says
Our yard is one big sea of leaves right now. My poor husband has already raked them up a few times an just looks out the back windows and shakes his head, lol. Winning this would totally make his Fall! 🙂
arod says
such a great giveaway thanks for hosting
Caryn says
I never thought I would need or want one of these. They looked like they are more trouble than they are worth but your photos make it look like a good idea and a doable one.
esther says
Keeping my fingers crossed. This would come in handy at our home.
Carla says
I usually have to rake the leaves and then mow over them! This would be sooo much easier!

We are in a new neighborhood and have one teeeny tree! LOVE not raking but miss having trees.
Kay says
I’ve been raking for the past two weekends…uugghh! What I wouldn’t give to win this!
Kim Menard says
We totally need this gizmo! Glad to hear it worked well for you. We’ve got a yard and walkway that refills with leaves as soon as we’re done raking. I slipped and fell last week, injuring myself in the process, so I’d love to be able to keep the path clear using this all in one!
Nickie Moseley says
we live out in the boondocks and trees are everywhere – lots of cement to keep clean – this would be AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

We raked ours a few weeks ago and with all the wind we’ve had need something like this blower vac to do it in no time, big yard=time.
Ashley says
There are SO many leaves in my yard and the windy weather this weekend didn’t even budge them! 🙂 Would love to win.
mrsrocco says
Oh my. Just found your blog thanks to facebook post from organizing made fun. Husband and I just moved from a small house with quarter acre yard and a couple of trees to a large over 3.5 acre lot with so. MANY. trees. We just moved in last Saturday and have been working on our ‘to do’ list. We still have a lot of yard work to take care of (including cleaning up and winterizing a pool that happens to be under a small forest of trees that all dropped their remaining leaves in the storms this weekend). Looking forward to reading more of your blog and picking up more helpful hints and projects.
Melissa L says
We have way to many leaves. Our yard is full of tall mature trees.
Tosha Tutt says
We could really use this! I burned up our blower yesterday cleaning up leaves in the backyard. It is a never ending job.
Tiffany says
I definitely need to get one of these.
MJ Hale says
Every house around us has trees, so leaves are everywhere, my husband works long hours and the kids don’t like to rake leaves. Boy do we need this!!
Marty Davis says
My neighbors may burn my leaves AND my house if I don’t get all these leaves cleaned up. My yard man got seriously ill, and I cannot do them all by myself. So this would be a huge help!
Nanilu says
I won’t mind raking and picking up the leaves and have some fun with my husband, but with 6 months pregnant belly it is impossible to me to even hold the bag open for him :(. This is the perfect leaf blower/vacuum for my hubby so he can finish the job sooner and come enjoy the belly with me.
Shannon M. says
I have dreamed of a tool like this because I have back problems which prevent me from being able to do the raking/sweeping motion. Plus, I hate it when people blow their leaves off of their yard and onto someone else’s. Oh, to vacuum the leaves! I would love one!
LinhC says
We have lots of leaves from our big maple trees. However, the leaves tend to fall into our next door neighbor’s yard! I guess we’ll help them rake them up!
Michelle Person says
Despite taking trees down due to a recent garage addition, our lawn is covered with leaves and my husband has to jerry-rig our current leaf vaccum. To make it worse, he is scheduled to deploy next summer and I am not sure I will be able to jerry-rig the machine without him here. . . leaves may not be picked up next year. . .apologies in advance to our neighbors!
sofia says
we have lots of tiny leaves that are hard to rake. this would be cool to use
Ashley M. says
I swear we are raking leaves every couple of days! This would help tremendously!

tasha johnston says
My grandmother has a HUGE backyard with TONS of leaves. She is 92. Clearly she can’t do it on her own. I have a bad back,but I do what I can.. Having this would make things soooo much easier!

We have a new house and are just getting used to all the yardwork! This would be SO helpful!
Kayla @ Home Coming says
So many leaves!! We’re remodeling our house right now, so we don’t have the time to go out and rake them all up. Plus it’s only 18 degrees outside! I don’t want to rake in that.
Justin J says
We have so many leaves in our yard this year, and my wife doesn’t want to help rake them up. I’d sure love this blower/mulcher.
amanda s. says
Not too many this year.
