Editorial Review: Product Description: 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 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 . Amazon.com: 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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - works greatThe 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. Rating:  - Leaf Shredder - works greatWorks as advertised - especially on dry leaves I did not find it to be overly noisy or dusty similar to an electric weed-wacker. Just do not over feed, and keep the sticks out. Rating:  - So far, so good - with room for improvementOverall, performance has exceeded my expectations. As other reviewers have said, it is awkward to assemble as the two sides of the hopper didn't fit together quite right and required another person to help with pulling it into shape so all the attachments could be made. Have used it quite a bit this season and as long as we turn it on before starting to feed the leaves and we feed them a little at a time, it works great with no jamming. The legs are a little too short to fit a good size barrel ...

It took 90 minutes for a friend with a mechanical mind to put it together, but it was worth it. This machine does exactly what it claims to do -- shred leaves. The only bother, and it isn't much, is that you have to pull out twigs that can interfer with the shredding process. Otherwise, I like using it. I don't jam large handfulls into the funnel all at once, but sprinkle ... Read More Rating: - Flowtron Mulcher-ShredderI was so excited when I got my flowtron shredder-mulcher, until I tried to assemble it. What a nightmare!! It took 2 people to hold the top together to put the screws in. It needs something to push the leaves down so that you don't get your fingers chopped off. It was not heavy to carry, thank goodness. It worked great on dry leaves, but when I switched it to wet leaves and tried that, it didn't work so well. I do like the fact that the ratio is 30 to 1 because I use a lot of the shredded ...
