 Not worth the money December 5, 2008
This machine lasted through about three bushels of leaves and then the motor burned up. You can expect to change cords after every bushel of leaves. And this was after carefully sorting out the twigs. This was definitely not worth the money.

Flowtron Leaf Chopper November 23, 2008
This is a marvelous tool if you need mulch for your flower or veggie beds. It's not the easiest to assemble, and it's just a tad flimsy, but in the end, I like it a lot. One really can shred huge piles of leaves into a fraction of their original volume very quickly. If you go too fast, it will clog up, the leaves must be dry and without sticks, and the "weed whacker" plastic strings don't last more than a half an hour of use, but they are easy to replace. The ecological sensibility of reusing what nature gave us makes this tool very satisfying to have and use.
Flowtron Ultimate Mulcher 8-Amp Electric Leaf Shredder November 22, 2008
Considering the relatively inexpensive price, the Flowton Leaf Shredder does an excellent job providing you don't try and use it to grind up twigs and branches or shred wet leaves. I've used it for about a month on the "course" setting and only pass through dry leaves in small quantities. If you're seeking to grind up an acre or more of leaves you might consider another type of unit.
Make your own mulch! November 19, 2008
This shredder works very well, and did a great job reducing 3 trees worth of leaves into a few bags of mulch. One note on usage - it is a good idea to make sure you know how to change the plastic "blades" and have a few of these out on hand with you in the garden. These blades can be easily worn down by sticks, so a) be aware not to put giant sticks through this, and b) stop the machine and clear it out if it sounds like it is straining. Also, earplugs are a good idea if you're using it for a sustained period; it is quite loud. Overall though, learning the shredder's nuances only took an afternoon, and I used it for several weekends this season. For the price, be sure you're interested in the by-product - i.e. the shredded leaves; it is still easier just to bag these or rake them to the curb if your goal is to simply get the leaves out of your yard.
