Having never used a tool like this I had different expectations than what it has evolved into.
I have a pair of southern live oaks that like to drop leaves and acorns all winter. By springtime the drop has a tendency to choke out a bermudagrass lawn that is already starved for light and air. So every year at least 3-4 times during the season, I need to pull the bulk of this material out of the yard so the soil can accept amendments, pre-emergent, fert, etc. before greenup in the spring.
Southern live oak leaves are small and they like to crawl under grass blades. Even when my lawn is cut to about 1" these leaves are still hard to extract directly into the mulcher/vac. So after slaving over covering about 1200 sq ft going inch by inch with a heavy mulcher, I figured out the easiest and most efficient way... Go over the lawn with my smaller and lighter blower and pile the loosest material in a small zone. Then vac this pile up. If any more significant material is left, try to rake it loose then repeat.
This vac does not pick up the acorns but for the few that make it in, the mulcher makes quick work of it. I use the same strategy as above to pile up the acorns left over from vacuuming into a small area with the blower after vacuuming all the leaves. Then I'll pick up the bulk of it with an acorn roller and finish the rest off by hand.
Random notes.
-For leaf work, you really do need to set this to full power (setting 6).
-The available blower feature is not that useful except when needed on occasion. I use my separate blower that is lighter instead.
-It is as many reviewers have said, kind of heavy. It's not that heavy really but more so when adding the weight of the collector bag with the machine over extended amount of time, it gets pretty tiring pretty quickly. Make a habit of slinging the bag cross body as opposed to over the shoulder.
-It's loud and dusty. Like it or not, the vac will pick up any loose dust on the ground and then diffuse it through the bag and into the air. My neighbor's car has a healthy layer of dust and pollen on her car now after my 2 hour sojourn in the yard.
-It can handle pretty much any material it can suck up. I should say though when I first got it as a like new used item (a lie btw as it was clearly well used), it would not do anything but buzz. After a bit of trouble shooting and reseating the parts multiple times, I discovered a hard twig inside the impeller that was sticking the entire tool. After safely removing it, it has worked like a champ ever since. It has in fact picked up twigs bigger than that one and minced them readily.
-It seems to be most comfortable when held vertically and sweeping about an inch above the ground.
-The bag does need to be emptied often. Fair enough though because you also have to carry it.
CONCLUSION: I think for the fact that I have small leaves that can't be raked, this is a lawn saving tool that is inexpensive, effective, and over two seasons now, pretty durable. I have no regrets other than AW selling me a malfunctioning barely acceptable item as Like New but they have always treated me well otherwise. I fixed it, it works, moving on. I also changed tac and began collecting the mulch to be composted as there is a significant amount and I can combine it with my grass clippings. The vac picks up a lot of dust and dirt when used on dry ground and that makes for good structure for the compost. I'm very happy with this one, its on the wall in my shed, a place of honor and space savings.

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.
-
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.
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.

Great home unit!
Summary first: Great unit for home use, not for a landscaping business. Great suction, chews up small twigs with ease, and really does reduce leaves with a 16 to one ratio. Made short work of a very big pile. Recommend all day long.Details: I bought and used the accessory WORX WA4054.2 LeafPro Universal Leaf Collection System. I included a picture to provide a visual. The Collection System can be attached even to a large can, like the one I have in the picture. It attaches with a drawstring so you can use a smaller trash can also. It also comes with a universal adapter if you are using a vacuum other than the Worx. I put an area approximately 30' by 30' piled a few feet high, into the trash can pictured. MAN was it heavy. These leaves were RAINED ON the night previous but the Worx picked them up and chewed them up. However, it made them heavy because they were wet and also the density is high once the leaves are chewed up.Sticks: This is NOT a wood chipper so don't try to pick up regular sticks. I accidentally picked up a shard from where I had been cutting up some limbs and it locked the unit up. I shut it off real quick, removed the object and it went right back to work. All the smaller twigs get easily chopped up and sent to the can, or bag if you are using the bag. I ended up with a couple of other sticks that should not have been picked up, but the leaves were wet and the sticks were not perceivable. If the leaves are dry, moving them around with the blower will hopefully leave the larger sticks behind. In the picture you can see dings from where I abused this unit a little. Not on purpose of course, but it ended up proving a really tough test for this unit.Overall, this is a good HOME unit for picking up leaves. Be careful to not pick up anything much bigger around than a tooth pick. The metal impeller does a great job with the twigs. DO NOT buy anything with a plastic impeller. Just threw one of those away. The accessory saves a LOT of time by not having to empty the bag. The blower function is not all that strong, but I have an Echo unit that really does the job. The price is pretty good for what you get. When received, I was surprised at how small the box was. It comes disassembled, of course, but it does snap together. They use plastics and other materials that help to reduce the weight and user fatigue. However, the unit is plenty strong and appears as though it should last. As long as I don't abuse it much in the future.Oh, I only gave four stars because of the dings in the impeller. It would be an improvement to make this more capable of eating those accidental sticks that get picked up. Five stars otherwise.Enjoy!

Reference- used another mulched for 20 years, mulching small live oak leaves, many many acorns as well.
Positives - when bag is light, very nice length and angle to reduce back stress. Bag is very easy to remove and attach. Blade takes the abuse with zero damage. Clogged once (1/4” dia twig). Power disconnect, opened, cleared, start back up in under a minute. Did not use blower as I am confident it works and I have a separate blower.
Negatives or opportunities- any claim of 18:1 is likely large maple leaves where a pile is 80% air. YouTuber evaluated as between 3:1 and 5:1. My small leaves likely 3:1. Bag could be a bit bigger. Bag zipper should wrap around ends for easier emptying. Should add 2nd grip on handle end for 2 hand use (height and guiding).
Overall - good power, handles tough material (ate up acorns), relatively ergonomic, and very easy to use. Pics show on ground and in bag - chopped but not really ground up. Researched several models and this did not disappoint.
