Worx TurbineFusion Blower/Mulcher/Bagger
The new Worx TurbineFusion Blower/Mulcher/Bagger features the best of two worlds by combining high capacity air volume at 500 cfm (cubic-feet-per-minute) with turbine fan technology to produce a two-speed blower/mulcher/vac with an all-in-one, single-tube design. This vac also features a two-stage, metal-impeller, mulching system that produces an industry-leading 24:1 mulch ratio. TurbineFusion moves air freely across its axial fan to a maximum air velocity of 500 (cfm). Its two-speed control provides a light breeze option when working in sensitive areas or full volume to move stubborn leaves and yard debris. It also features a two-stage mulching system. In stage one, a high-velocity shredder blade shreds debris before entering stage two, which pulverizes it with a metal impeller into fine mulch.
