Question 1

Does anyone know the difference btw. the worx wg500, 502, 502.2, 505, 508, and 509? Confused

Accepted Answer

From what I can tell:+ 500 has a plastic impeller. Bad idea for vacuum function.+ 502 ==> replaced by 509+ 502.2 Home Depot model looks 502/509+ 505 Upgrade the impeller to metal, a compelling advantage for product reliability. Increase mulch rate from 10:1 to 16:1.+ 508 The "compete with Toro" model. Swap out parts to convert from blower to vacuum. By using optimized parts, you gain slightly better performance at the price of needing to store all the parts together. I had a "dual use" Toro that functioned only as a blower after losing some of the vac parts. It runs quieter, and Depot states that you can get away with a lighter extension cord (16 Ga).+ 509 Upgrade to the 505. The 509 looks like it weighs 1/2 pound more through some combination of beefier motor and improved impeller. It improves much ratio from 16:1 to 18:1. I see more complaints about the weight in the 509 reviews than the 505 reviews. It looks like the 509 requires a heavier extension cord too.If you have a LOT of leaves, the 509 is probably your best option. If you have a lot of ground to cover with lower leaf density or want to do a quicker job with a 14-gauge rather than 12-gauge extension cord, go with the 505. If you want optimal performance, go with the 508 or a Toro system, which is designed to operate by switching tubes.

Question 2

Does this come with the bag?

Accepted Answer

Yes, however the bag is very small.  You are better off buying the WORX WA0030 Landscaping 26-Gallon Spring Bucket Yard Bag and putting a lawn bag inside.  You can tighten the can cover over the yard bag and basically drag it behind you.  It will fill an entire leaf bag and give you much more time in between bags.  The one that comes with the blower/mulcher has to be emptied every 5 minutes otherwise.

Question 3

Can 5' 4" be sucessful with this product?  Will it vacuum hickory nuts?  Mulch hickory nuts?

Accepted Answer

The manufacturer specifications state that it is designed to handle leaves and debris but does not speak to problem yard debris such as hickory nuts, pine cones, etc.  We've reviewed a couple of personal reviews that indicates it does a great job with these items as well but there is no manufacturer documentation to support it.

Question 4

Some reviews say it is heavier than appears. Could a 70+ year old handle it? Can you use 2 hands on the one handle?

Accepted Answer

Yeah I would say yes you can use 2 hands and should be able to use it if your pretty active 70+ I am 65 and it is no problem for me to use.
