A little dusty but works really well..
This is my first experience with a leaf shredder other than my mulching mower. I filled a large plastic contractor bag in it's first use. It does shred about a 9:1 ratio. And I used the mulched leaves for a landscaped area.
Pluses:
The motor seems very strong and the weed whip material seems to hold up well. And it's simple to assemble, move around and store. Fairly light weight too.
Issues:
My plastic bag didn't allow air circulation and the leaves were dry, causing a LOT of leaf dust to blow out the top. Mostly on me. I may try a different bag or no bag next time and that may resolve that proble. BUT wear a dust mask. And the unit needs to be on flat ground as it's a bit tippy on its legs.
It's simple to operate, put it on the lawn, rake or leaf blow the leaves round the mulcher, and start loading them in. It has a very large top and lots of leaves can be dropped in at one time. I wish I had tried one of these jobbos before. It's a real time saver and landfill reducer. Nine bags into one mulched bag! Makes me feel Green.
