This crunches leaves well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used the leaf mulcher for the first time last weekend. I liked that the leaves and small twigs would get shredded and compressed down 11:1. At first it seemed to work very well, but after the 3rd or 4th bag, the mulching slowed down considerably. Shaking the unit helped the mulcher to shred. I recognized that the cutting performance highly depended on the length of the cutting lines. I used the spare cutting lines from the package and used a spool I had for my weed wacker. I also removed the small black cutting line trimmer that seemed to block leaves and and unnecessarily trim the cutting line. The lines wore out and got shorter about every 6 bags. We ran this machine for 4 hours and filled up 75 bags of shredded leaves. I recommend this machine with a few recommendations:
1. Keep an eye on the cutting strings. Replace when mulching slows down.
2. Buy a thicker cutting string.
3. Remove big twigs or pieces of bark that clogs and quickly wears out the cutting line.
4. Use full size clear big bags. You can see when its full and you can change bags less often.If you use small bags, it will slide off the metal frame and blow leaves out.
5. Remove small metal cutting string trimmer.
6. Wear a face mask and eye protection.

At first we had to use the short white pedestal because our bags were to short and would fall off the frame (see picture). It got easier when we upgraded to the bigger clear plastic bags.

Got about a month ago. Works pretty well, but wished it would support a metal shredder/cutting string material@1¹

I like this mulcher!

I just bought my 2nd worx mulcher. The previous one lasted about 5 years of heavy use (left outside year round) and I'm quite happy with it. I use this for all the small gauge and soft matter that needs to get broken down for composting. I use husqvarna .095" line which is much, much better than the worx supplied line. Changing lines often is my only complaint about this unit (spool feed option please!). I would much prefer a larger line diameter (.13") for durability reasons. Care must be taken to not overload the unit which breaks the trimmer line and requires a 5 minute line replacement chore.

Overall, I like it.

But, as I stated in the contact email, the air filtration system for the motor needs improvement. Too much dust and debris enters the motor housing. Also, the machine seems to puke too much back up thru the loading funnel which helps to contribute to the first issue. Still, I'd but it over again. I'll just add a little more filter to the intake.

i bought this unit and shredded leaves from a tree that was torn down from a wind and hail storm. It mulched the leaves very well. The only issue is it won't chop up sticks of any size. Does great on dried leaves but any sticks need to be picked out prior.

Makes quick work

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Mulches very fast a with dry leaves and is easy to use. Only downside is if it rains on your leaves before you mulch them, they get stuck on the sides and you have to wipe them out constantly.
