Product Description:

It can reduce leaves, pine neddles, grass clippings and even paper, wet or dry, from 11 bags into only 1.

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

The wide 21-inch diameter funnel swallows leaves as fast as you can feed them, mincing them down to fine mulch. This little unit is surprisingly powerful, and at only 17 pounds it’s so light you can mount it atop a trash can or bungee-cord a plastic bag to the outfeed and collect the waste. Out of the box, it goes together literally in minutes with just a screwdriver. The hopper tilts to 45 degrees to make loading easier, and the sliding control lever is easy to read, with settings for grass, thatch, wet leaves, dry leaves and pine needles. Double cutting lines are powered by an 8-amp motor on regular household current, and the motor intake filter comes out easily for cleaning. A built-in storage compartment keeps extra line at the ready, and changing cutter lines is easy. It’s a great unit for the homeowner, reducing 11 bags of leaves to just one bag of mulch, ready for use in flower beds and vegetable gardens.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste
