Worx WG430 13 amp Electric Leaf Mulcher/Shredder

First off, if you have a lot of leaves to deal with I can't imagine not getting one of these. It is great!! But to get the most out of it here are a few things to pay attention to: Shredding Performance - For me, it shreds about 95-98% of what I put into it. The other 2-5% somehow misses getting shredded. I say this because when you look at the output you will still see some whole or partial whole leaves. However, most of what it produces is fine fragments. I can't tell you the exact reduction % but I can say that it is a MASSIVE reduction and don't doubt the numbers the MFG states. Dumping Leaves - You can't just dump and dump into it. You have to dump and then pause and then dump again. The cadence isn't quite a fast as I would like, if it was 30-40% faster it would be perfect. That said you still can get through huge piles of leaves very quickly, but the pausing is noticeable. If you are finding you are having to fuss with getting the leaves through you are likely putting too many in at once or putting them in too fast. Stand or Not To Stand - I didn't use the stand and instead stuck it on a 32 gallon round garbage can. It sits on it perfectly and then is easy to deal with when you need to empty it. Maybe the legs are good but I didn't want to mess with them, plus I can easily dump them in the compost area and in my yard debris bin. Also I read multiple people talking about how it does't fit a normal leaf bag, so what would be the point anyway? In the instructions, which aren't great but not terrible, it appears you are supposed to roll the top of the bag down to get it to fit?? Why not just make the legs longer? Anyway, I am using the 32 gallon can and it is great. Noise - It is loud, but not incredibly loud. I would recommend wearing some sort of hearing protection though as hearing damage is cumulative. Mess - It is a little messy but not terrible. If you are just doing your work outside, and say not inside your garage, who cares about some leaf pulp around the shredder? But I suppose if you are shredding leaves in an area where some spillage of shredded leaves will be a problem you might be annoyed. Twine - Finally this thing is essentially an upside down weed whacker. The plastic twine they use with it I had read did not hold up. I have done two sessions with leaves and light twigs. Each session I filled the 32 gallon can about 5 times. I am still going strong on the original twine that came attached. I did get the plastic coated metal twine that was recommended in a different review, but I am not sure what the others were doing to need to change it out so quickly. But if someone cares, I got the Anleolife Round Heavy Duty .095-Inch-by-190-ft Steel String Trimmer Line in Donut. Again, haven't needed to try it, but this is what someone else had said fit and could be a stronger replacement. OVERALL - Super happy with the purchase. If you are someone who has to spend multiple days each year dealing with leaves you owe it to yourself to get this thing. It is a great tool from the firs time using it, in fact my neighbors all borrow this thing and we are trading it around, LOL

Buen servicio a domicilio. Defectos de la maquina: Enchufe americano, estamos en España, se necesita un enchufe europeo. ( ver foto) Falta una pieza en el bombo de triturar ( ver foto) Lo mas grave, solo funciona a un Voltaje de 120 V. se necesita un trans formador de 220 a 120 V.

مكينة طحن لاوراق الاشجار تعمل بشكل جيد ولكن المشكله انها تعمل بنظام الكهرباء 120v مما تطلب مني شراء كيبل + محول من 220v الى 110v لتشغيل الجهاز .

I've been looking for something like this for a few years. We have a 2 acre property with over 25 maple trees ranging from 5 years old to well over 30 years old = lots of leaves. This shredder worked for me. In what normally takes 3 full weekends of raking, collecting, bagging, transporting to the back forest and/or burning, took only 3 full days of raking, shredding and transporting to the back forest to decompose. The construction of the unit is pretty good. I visually compared it to other makes and this one looked like it would be tougher and stronger overall. I think it is. I tried shopping around but Amazon was the ONLY place I could find this (in Canada) which means I am sure it was not the best price. If I see a used one for sale, I will definitely get a second one. The unit shredded dry leaves and even slightly damp/wet leaves with little issue. It does not handle small twigs well at all so they need to be screened out manually. This is due to the thin plastic 'weedwhacker" type strings used. When the strings get worn down to about half, then the leaves start bunching up and clogging. A vigorous rocking motion to the whole unit helped until the strings were changed. Lots of online suggestions to replace with wire and maybe I will try that next year. It is loud but not louder than expected for what it is. It was very dusty when the leaves were really dry but again, that should be expected with something like this. For relocating the shredded leaves, use extra heavy-duty garbage bags and you can reuse them multiple times.
