Summary: Dangerous.
Comment: Jams easily. Clearing the jam could cost you a finger. Not an efficient piece of equipment.

Summary: Meets expectations
Comment: This machine performed exactly as described. Ease of assembly: What could be easier? The only tool required is a Philips screw driver! If it is used according to instructions, it performs quite well. Keep those sticks out! It is, after all, just a weed wacker on steroids. Don't overload the hopper, give it time to digest, and all will be well. My sycamores produce alot of dust, so a dust mask is indispensible. If you want to mulch leaves, this is the product for you. If you want to grind twigs and branches, get something else. 5 stars. A quality product for the price.

Summary: Ultimate mulcher
Comment: I have over 30 very lark Oak trees and a hand full of pines on my 1 acre lot and when the leafs come down, not only do I get all of mine but all of the surrounding trees too. I didn't want to spend a couple of thousand on a mulcher to pull behind my tractor, beides there are some areas I can't get into. So I bought this after reading many reviews and watching some video's. It amazed me to see it work in person and how simple it was to operate and change the strings. I am very pleased with the purchase and it will be getting a workout again in the spring.

Summary: eating lots of leaves
Comment: The flowtron leaf ultimate mulcher ate its way through 1/2 acre of leaves. We learned a couple of tricks.
1. dont stuff in the leaves, fill it lightly, it works better and faster that way.
2. immediately remove any sticks, it cant digest sticks all it does is strip them raw, gum up the works and break the cutting strings
3. keep one nice stick , oh about 3/4"diam x 2ft long to stir the leaves in the bin, scraping the edges as it spins this much enhances the process
We set it on "Fine" and the result is a nice leaf mulch which we have been spreading under our trees and adding to our compost bin

Summary: works great
Comment: The flowtron worked great with all the leaves that needed to be cleared up in our yard. It's a simple machine that chews up leaves, dry or wet, so well that I could put them back into the planting beds as mulch.

Editorial Reviews:
The Ultimate Mulcher quickly recycles yard and garden waste into nutrient rich mulch, solving the disposal problem. It can reduce leaves, pine neddles, grass clippings and even paper, wet or dry, from 11 bags into only 1. The mulcher is constructed of steel and rugged high-density polythylene for long life and easy maintenance, has a powerful 8.0 amp (at peak) thermally protected universal motor with overload protection, and runs on an ordinary household current. Please note, this mulcher is NOT designed for sticks, twigs or branches. Moderate assembly required. It features:
A. Coarse to Fine Shredding Adjustment- special settings for pine needles, thatch, and grass clippings
B. Convenient Built-in Storage Compartment- holds replacement cutting lines, gloves, safety glasses, etc.
C. Special Tilt Adjustment- rotates 180 degrees for compact storage
D. Elastic Bungee Cord- holds leaf-bag firmly in place
