The shredder is a cut above the rest!
By Ryan on Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2023
I've spent countless hours searching for the perfect leaf shredder, and my quest is finally over! After trying out a popular string shredder (I'll spare you the brand name, but it starts with a W), I was left unsatisfied with its performance on twigs and gum balls. I decided to give this model a try. Assembly was a breeze, and I was immediately impressed by the high-quality materials used in its construction. This machine exudes durability and sturdiness, instilling my confidence in its long-term performance. I was initially skeptical about the blade size and their overall quality, but I was pleasantly surprised. The blades are thick, sharp, and built to handle heavy-duty tasks effortlessly. To give you an idea of their size, I included a picture with my hand alongside them, as well as a shot with my finger showing their thickness. Eager to put it to the test, I wasted no time taking it out to the yard after assembly. I had a massive pile of leaves, teeming with pesky quarter-inch sticks and an abundance of gum balls. However, this leaf shredder didn't skip a beat. Not once did it jam, effortlessly reducing everything in its path to finely shredded pieces. The negative reviews claiming it struggles with wet leaves are probably true, as that complaint seems to be common.. The debris I cleared today was bone-dry, which is typical for my Californian climate. So, if you reside in a region with high humidity or excessive moisture, this machine might not be the ideal choice for you. I can confidently say that this leaf shredder has surpassed my expectations and exceeded all other options I've tried. Its outstanding performance, coupled with its sturdy build and efficient shredding capabilities, make it the ultimate choice for anyone seeking a top-notch leaf shredder.

VERY poor design
By Jim Krag on Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2021
What I don't like about this equipment. 1. The rubber flaps over the hopper make it VERY difficult to get leaves into the machine. There is no way to do it without pushing in leaves with your hand which is slow and not safe. Also, it is not a very wide top so leaves fall out and onto the ground around the hopper requiring added cleanup effort. I finally got some tape and taped all 8 of the flaps open so it was a little easier to drop leaves in and stand back. But the problem of spillage was still present. Needs a larger hopper entry. 2. They sent a round bag for leaf debris, but there is no way to effectively put it under the place where the mulched leaves exit. I tried a bungee cord but it was ineffective. It seems that the way this is designed is to simply spew out mulched leaves onto the ground. How is that effective? I then need to pick that up. I tried to put a leaf tarp under the exit chute, but it was largely ineffective because the legs don't allow you to put in directly under and it spewed mulched leaves all over the place. They should have designed a system to place a tight bag around an opening that collects the mulched leaves. Would have been very possible. 3. I ran it for about 10 minutes before it plugged up. I tried and tried to unplug it through the opening but eventually had to disassemble the top chute (8 bolts) to remove it so I could get in to unclog it. This could have been designed so that the inevitable plug up with sticks or larger leaves could be more easily unclogged. 4. Since I spent so much on this I kept trying it but eventually went back to using the leaf vacuum/ mulcher I have that cost less than half as much and is much quicker and neater. My recommendation is to not buy this. I've wasted my money on this and won't likely be using it anymore.
