Sun Joe 15 Amp Bladeless 8,000 RPM Electric Leaf Mulcher & Shredder, Black/Green, SDJ617E

Does exactly what it claims - shreds leaves. Don't expect it to save time - it just adds a step in the process. I added a loop of twine to the elastic cord which holds the bag to make it easier (see pix) to attach a bag. The air intake to cool the motor plugs up rapidly. Suggest you have a brush handy to clean it often. The cutting (shredding) lines don't last very long before needing to be replaced. I have bought several Sun Joe products and always found them to work exactly as advertised for a good price.

Easy assembly, lightweight, sturdy enough for what I use it for. It was a learning curve on how best to get those leaves to shred, but once i did i was very pleased with the result. For best results, remove all sticks/twigs/branches of any substance, as like in using a stand up weed trimmer, the thicker the brush, the more you will need to replace the cutting string. Safety glasses and a dust mask is needed at all times. This little machine has saved me countless trips to our recycling center and is helping tremendously in turning my shredded leaves into compost quickly. I recommend it for anyone who has a ton of leaves to deal with in the fall/spring.
