[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this mulcher. I've reduced the amount of bags I put out for pickup. I gave it a 4 because the dust is not contained when shredding. Glasses are needed but I found a way to reduce the dust. After I dump a good amount of leaves I have a 5 gal. bucket I put over the top to keep the dust in. I also start the unit when leaves are in and stop when I hear the leaves are mulched. Then I take the 5 gal. bucket off and start again. I highly recommend this if you have a leaf problem every year. I have a lot of trees and I've been using mine for 2 yrs.

I was not sure what to expect but I was very pleased with the mulcher. I bought it to use some of my leaves as garden mulch but it also significantly sped up the whole process of cleaning the yard. Went from about 45 bags of leaves to about 10, but I wasn’t being that efficient - I am sure it could have been fewer bags. When it is on I couldn’t throw the leaves in fast enough. It kept up with my wife and I loading at the same time by hand. Highly recommend safety glasses and a mask as it is a dusty job when the leaves are dry. The glasses are more to keep the dust out of my eyes than any projectiles. Seemed to me a safe and efficient leaf mulcher. Very happy with it overall.

Works great! Easy to assemble and use.

We have 3 large maple trees that produce lots of leaves and would require 40 plus bags to clean up the yard. Now that number is down to 12 thanks to this mulcher.
