in fact, the trivac recently received the consumers digest best buy award. i'm steve trusty. i've been in the lawn and garden industry for over 53 years. just recently i wrote an article for consumers digest magazine on power equipment and one of the things i tested were blower vacs, and i chose the worx trivac as the best buy. the thing that really got me to begin with was the versatility and the ease of switching from blowing to vacuuming. it's the only piece of equipment that i've ever seen like that. it's so easy and makes the job easier when you get out there and you're doing clean-up. we recently attended a national home and garden show to see what people thought of the worx trivac firsthand. it's terrific. as you can see, i can do it with one hand and i'm sixty. i think it's a great tool. it's very lightweight and i'm able to get my place cleaned up here in no time. so what's the verdict? it's really neat; that's cool. i wouldn't mind having one of these. it does a great job, and no gas. it's really simple to flip between blower and vacuum. i don't have to take anythin
