• Leaf mulcher
  Great product. I have been needing this for several years.
  I find that it helps to wet the leaves for a few days in advance of mulching. Our Live Oak leaves here in South Texas are as thick as shoe leather. Even after wetting and mulching, I still have to run them through the mulcher again at times.

• No 8 Amp Motors
  According to Flowtron, they use the same motor in all models of their leaf shredders and all motors have a label showing 5 amps. Flowtron says these motors increase in amps under load! Well,that would cause more heat and stress in the motor. So, there are no 8 amp motors!
  What do you get for paying an extra $50 for the LE-900 model? You get a stand that swivels, a small bungee cord at the bottom to hang a trash bag,and a small compartment on the side with a door on it to store extra cutting line! more info

  It was out of warrantee and I went back to the old shredder which... more info

• Substitute For Flowtron Mulcher
  After reading all the reviews I decided to put a load of pine needles in my 30 gallon waste can and use my Black & Decker line trimmer. It worked pretty well especially as the can filled up with mulch. No expense on my part since I already have a weed eater ( Black & Decker). Now I just need to do a little refinement such as a Lid for dust and particle containment and possibly some sort of a screen at the bottom so the mulch just falls through when it gets fine enough. Something to think about... more info
