The first unit lasted about two hours, then wouldn't restart. The Mfg. replaced it. The second unit failed in less time. That was also replaced. The next unit lasted about 15 minutes and died. That's three in a row that failed.

Awesome machine. it mulches leaves in not time. No more pressing down on them. the strings are surprisingly durable too. i threw away the legs and just screwed it to a 2x2 plywood, it sits on top of my bins nicely. not too much dust or noise. just stand from the other side of the wind and wear ppe. if you are using the leaf blower you are wearing them already anyways. great piece too, half what other brands cost.

The power is better than the one I returned. I did not have to stop once and wait for shredding to clear. I don't (but should) need hearing protection -- it is not as loud. I did not have to change cutting line. Line provided said "What else ya got?".

I was amazed at how many leaves can be shredded and fit into a 30 gallon garbage bag. The neighbors blow there leaves into a big pile but when I used the Sun Joe shredder and dumped them in the pile it hardly added to the pile. I like it because it is electric and doesn't need gasoline or a pull start. Can't wait to use it in the spring.

This product works beautifully. It reduces bulk leaves to minuscule particles. My only wish would be different blades. The string blades do a great job on the leaves but you have to make sure not to put any small branches in the hopper. Stronger, maybe plastic, blades would be nice. Also, a permanent catch bag would be nice instead of the plastic bags. But overall, this is a great product.

This product is very good. Inexpensive; easy to assemble; effective; good design. The shredding cords will break off if leaves contain a number of even small sticks. They are easy to replace and extras come with the original purpose. Hearing protection is necessary. Dust and particulate mask advisable. Easy breakdown for efficient storage. Good value for the price.

Great price, fast delivery, looks like it will do just what we wanted. Haven't have many leaves yet to try it but we will pretty soon. I think it will be a solution to our many many many bags of leaves. I hope we can mulch then small enough to just spread about the yard. Very pleased with it so far.

Somewhat skeptical after opening and assembling the Sun Joe leaf mulcher on the ability and durability of machine to mulch leaves; but was amazed on the ease of assembly and the Sun Joe efficiency mulching leaves. Think of the mulcher as an upside down weed eater. Operating mulcher is as easy of flipping a switch. Changing the mulching cord is very easy and accessible. I used the Sun Joe one season mulching alot of leaves. Stores nicely back in the box. Highly recommend.

Easy to set up and use. Very powerful. Cord replacement is simple and takes seconds. I found with heavier wet leaves having it on the lowest setting is best, though it will still bog down and require a little patience. Safety glasses are a must when using this product. It definitely does not do sticks of any size. Good for getting the compost pile going.

I was looking for something that would shred my kitchen waste more so than leaves..example...lettuce, apples, egg shells..etc. This way I could put it in my composter and it would compost faster. It shredded but I got sprayed by residue that came flying out. Not nice. There is no cover for this so I use a round garbage can cover to avoid getting coated what shoots out. This does not happen when I shred leaves.
