 Great for leaves and only leaves October 1, 2008

Does exactly what it's supposed to do, chop up LEAVES (about 10 bags worth) down to one.
It doesn't do twigs well, vines, or anything thicker than a pencil. You will go through the cutting twines pretty fast.
Overall it's worth having if you have lots of trees on your property.
Elowtron leaf mulcher October 1, 2008
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
Purchased this when it first came out. We have been using it for years. It's like the energizer bunny it keeps going going and going. We have a variety of trees and it handles every one of them. He have gone through a lot of cutting cords but you can use any replacement line cutter cord, just have to cut them to length. You also have to feed the leaves into the hopper if you dump to much they can get stuck in the hopper. It also can handle some twigs but if you put to many in at one time they get caught up in the cord and sifter. Believe me, I could never handle the volume of leaves in my yard without it.
What a time saver November 11, 2008
For the last 10 years, I have used a hang on shoulder vacuum mulcher. That was a very inefficient process. Now, I rake my leaves into a pile. Locate the lightweight Leaftron near the pile. Mulch the leaves. I now have extra time to finish up my other fall projects.
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.
 Does the job October 13, 2008

This leaf shredder works as advertised. We tested all of the settings from coarse to fine and the leaves were reduced accordingly. Very easy to operate and maintain. It is very powerful, so it is noisy and dust flies everywhere - but it certainly does the job. Anything that enters the funnel that is too big or sturdy (twigs, pebbles, etc) that you might find in raked leaves is thrown to the side. Watch as you shred and you can see when to turn off the shredder and remove items that can't be shred. Very good product!
