Well, I usually don't write many reviews for products because you don't often need a review for things you know how they perform, but I thought I'd write about this new item to me. I live in the mountains of Tennessee and have a mountain of leaves to deal with each year. After loading what felt like 50 bags last year with a rake, I decided to see if I could reduce the volume of leaves to something more manageable. So off to search for a good leave mulcher. The item was well packed and is fairly light weight. Assembly was very straight forward and its not complicated at all. I presently am using contractor clean up plastic bags from Lowes for the leaves. A few thoughts... Dry leaves work the best in this machine. If your going to blow your leaves into a pile, I do recommend that you only do so for the leaves your going to mulch with this machine, that day. I made the mistake of blowing my whole yard into a long pile. Then it rained the next day. Dry leaves work the best and you can just about load this machine with them as fast as you can and it processes it quite well But if they leaves are wet - Oh Dear!!! Wet leaves mulch into something that looks like wet coffee grounds and as such, it tends to pack into the bowl causing the exit ports to plug up. The mulch wont drop into the bag. You'll have to stop the machine, unplug the power, then poke open the slots the leaves normally drop through. At this point, I just push the mulch through the slots and then continue. A combo of mostly dry to wet leaves will process better than just wet ones. Just try to put dry leaves through it and you'll enjoy this greatly. The plastic weed eater string. WORX sells a pack of pre cut strings. You'd prob be better off to just get a roll of .080 or .093 weed eater string and cut your own. Ive had strings last 15 minutes to an hour before. (I think small branches in the leaves are what shortens the string life) Long strings work the best. You will notice the mulch will move around quite well when the strings are long. I replace the strings when I notice the mulch isn't moving really well. I find worn strings are about 3 inches long at this point. Wet leaves will shorten the string life. Also, just to be clear, you can process these wet leaves, but be prepared to have a really heavy bag once its full. All that water!. Dry leaves makes the bag much lighter. One thing I did notice, is there is an air intake and exhaust for the motor cooling. The intake is where the large red on/off button is. I'm going to add some window screen over the outside of this to limit the amount of gunk that is sucked into this port. I've already had to take the unit apart and clean out this filter (6 phillips screws). Window screen should help prevent the build up of materials. WORX figured this out and glued a filter inside the intake port with hot glue - but this isn't a really good fix. No way to clean it unless you take the unit apart and pull the filter from the hot glue bonds inside. WORX - rethink this filter to make a snap on outside filter thats user cleanable. Other than this, Im really happy with this. The price is good too.

I bagged by hand 350 recycle bags (50 gallon) last year, pressed and compressed. Beautiful scenic Massachusetts leaves. Do I have your attention now? When this device is properly used, it performs. I have now been through three weeks of leaf season, with a total of mulch in 25, 50-gallon recycle bags. The first few bags were done with the product as designed, the remainder with a couple of modifications. First, let me thank all those who offered constructive suggestions in the prior 25 reviews. I picked some good ideas out of there to make a solution that worked well for me. Let me set the stage: $1,000 for a commercial shredder/chipper is out of my budget. But I needed to do something. I have 12 very large, mature, 50-year old oak and maple trees in my yard. My landscaper quit fall cleanup on my 7-years ago, after his crew of five spent an entire day cleaning up. It's "too much" he said to me. A crew of three high school football players hardly made a dent in my yard, after laboring for six hours. It has been taking me six full weekends by myself to bag the leaves. There are no other options in my town, I don't own a truck. In a typical year, 250 bags was average. 200 after we pruned the trees, but soon after than the trees took off again, up to 350 bags last year. I started using it out of the box as-is. Rule number one: READ AND COMPREHEND THE !@$% INSTRUCTIONS. It is very clear it that it is only intended for leaves. Period. End of Sentence. Leaves. RULE NUMBER TWO: Pick up all the sticks and twigs from your yard BEFORE the leaves fall. Case 1: I want the leaves right into the 50-gallon bags. I tried the 4 corner tear mentioned, I did not like the results, especially since I have to lift and drag the full bag. MODIFICATION #1: I went out and got some aluminum tubing that fit over the legs, extending the height by somewhere around 8 inches. Result: I filled about 10 50-gallon bags of mulch with this method. Used the expander ring to keep the bag open. The bags barely touch the bottom of the orange chassis. I was extremely careful to keep the sticks out. I went through 2 or 3 sets of cutting line. It went fine, but a little slower than I had hoped. You have to "sprinkle" the leaves in, no pushing and cramming. The jury was still out on whether this was any faster than than bagging by hand. However, it reduced the bag count and cost and it saved me a lot of pushing and shoving. There IS leakage from the side but it only amounts to a few handfuls, definitely worth the convenience of having a bag setup to go in a minute. Case 2: Windy day, one more modification. MODIFICATION #2: Upgrade the cutting line to .105 inches (2,7 mm). I bought a 220 foot refill from Home Depot for a bit under $15 if I recall correctly. I came with a littler cutting tool right atop. I cut them to identical size. They fit into the WORX slot snugly, with a little force. If you want, you can ream/drill out those holed a little bit. Result: The thicker line eats leaves MUCH FASTER when all things are the same. I then got brave and went to a section of the yard and tried a pile full of mixed twigs (up to 1/8") and it just chewed them up. Granted, there was some line reduction at that time, but it's clear, that .105 line will make the job go much faster (I've done 4 bags so far with the .105) and it will handle small twigs so you don't have to obsess over every last one. Other observations: The stand, when used to hold the bag upright along with the ring to expand the bag top, make for a GREAT stay-in-place bag retainer on a windy day when you still have to hand-bag a few things (like pine needles). This is a very, very useful feature for windy days. I know I waste a lot of time on windy days trying to keep it open. Use a 12-gauge extension cord. Don't fool around. This is a 13 amp motor. You don't want the motor burning up because it can't get enough juice while you're pushing leaves in. Use goggles and be sure you position your shredder DOWNWIND OF YOU. I don't think a mask is required unless you have respiratory problems. Never, never, never stick you hands in to the rotating string. I did, it's not nice. I do not recommend wet leaves. wait for a windy day to dry them out first. SUGGESTIONS FOR THE MANUFACTURER 1) Include leg extenders to accommodate a 50 gallon recycling bag. 2) Include a skirt below the orange chassis which would go down the interior of the bag. 3) Upgrade to .105 cutting lines 4. Include Stupid Stickers all over the outside of the product just like ladder manufacturers do. DO NOT PUSH LEAVE DOWN IT. DO NOT INSERT STICKS. USE GOOGLES. USE A 12-GAUGE EXTENSION CORD. I have four more dreadful weeks of leaf bagging ahead. I cannot tell you what the reduction rate is because leaf fall varies by weather conditions each year. It still won't be easy, and it will take a lot of time. I'm hoping it saves a) money on bags, b) fewer bags to manhandle, c) less hours bagging d) less bending, pushing and shoving. The jury is still out, I will have my final verdict in December. So far it's a 5-star. It's no saviour, but it does appear to have some benefit.

So it did the job of mulching the leaves into basically what looks like dirt, the particles were that fine. However because the leaves break down into such fine particles it's easy to clog. They build up in the hopper and I use a stick to stir it all up and push through. For light to medium jobs this thing is great, anything past medium it struggles with. You really have to pamper it and only feed small handful of leaves at a time or it clogs. Wet leaves clog it easier, tiny sticks that I thought it would just spit out create a structure inside and make it clog. For me the leaves would fly out of the top when it gets clogged. Definitely use dry leaves and make sure there are no sticks in them. Hard to say it's a bad product because the mulch it produced is amazing and will be used for gardening next year, but it can definitely be better and mulch more leaves faster. Shaking it helps as the vibrations feed the leaves along. Eye protection is a must with this product as stuff shoot out all the time. Assembly took maybe 3-5 minutes, and afterwards taking it apart and storing it took maybe 2 minutes. Love how easy it is to put it together and move it around. It's fairly light maybe 20+ lbs.

We have very mature, very large maple and ash trees on 1/3 acre and autumn is beautiful but produces many leaves. Mowing all of them with a mulching blade is just too dense on the grass and doesn't account for leaves left on the garden area. We have made mulch piles in the past and takes too long for my lazy, lack of turning the piles. This was our first year using the Worx WG430 and this is my initial opinion. 1. very easy to set up and use. It is electric so requires a long extension cord to move around the yard. 2. noisy. not more than expected, just as expected. I wear hearing protection when mowing and did with this too. Not a complaint, just an observation. 3. mulch reduction rate. I don't know how manufacturers get their 4:1, 11:1, 16:1 reduction rates, but I didn't see 11:1 mulch rate with this. I played with running a mulched load back through again and even running that through a 3rd time and got it mulched down to very fine, but I take the 11:1 "rating" like I do a wet/dry vacuum that claims to be 5 HP. This is marketing mumbo jumbo and probably isn't reliable to compare between tools. I do believe that the mulch reduction rate is acceptable for either keeping in my gardens, mulch pile or moving them to a compost site. The Worx made big whole leaves into little pieces of leaves. 4. the trim lines. I found that the Worx trims great when the trim line is new, and is progressively slower as the trim line is used and worn down. I've used line trimmers so I understand the concept. With line trimmers they bump to extend or magically extend as they are worn away. With the Worx there is no extending as they wear away. You have to stop your work and replace the pre-cut, pre-measured trimmer lines. The machine came with Worx brand trim lines and there were 10-20 (I don't remember) so you can get started and really get a lot of mulching done with what comes in the box, but you will change them out and maybe quicker than you expected. The changing of the lines is very easy and quick. I have a 350' spool of .080 string trimmer line and using one of the Worx lines, I cut a whole stack of proper length lines and used them in the Worx. I did not see any difference in durability while using my .080 string trimmer line vs the trimmer line that came with the Worx. 5. Stores compactly. 6. I found the paper bag adapter COMPLETELY useless. It went immediately into the garbage since I could not think of a way to repurpose it. I used contractor grade garbage bags that worked great and if I needed to use the paper lawn bags then I could just pour the leaves out of the contractor bags into the paper bags, easier than trying to use the paper bag adapter. After the first season of use, I am very happy for the purchase. It seems durable, easy to use, and does the job (the one job it is intended to do) well. Still have to rake or blow them into a pile and lift them into the machine. I would recommend this for a medium size yard (again my lot is 1/3 acre with 8 very mature trees, 18"-40" diameter base).

I bought this mulcher to grind up my kitchen scraps and possibly some leaves but primarily to prepare green material for my composter so as to speed up the composting process.Here in the States the thing we call a mulcher is basically a line trimmer with plastic line on it whereas in Europe or Australia they have more serious machines with hammers or flails. I also recently bought a large Craftsman chipper/ shredder and that does a good job on larger stuff and twigs and wood.Its shredder part has a bunch of metal flails that spin around and basically pulverize material. When I tried it on kitchen scraps it did fine but splattered veggie goo everywhere and was loud and I could tell it would get seriously caked up after a while.That's when I decided to try the Worx out for its ease of use. I read all the reviews and understood a few flaws in the Worx unit that I felt I could improve on and the price seemed right. The first thing I did with the Worx before using it was take the string holder off and drill it out to hold .105" line instead of the wimpy stuff it came with.That was easy and not a complicated thing to do. I also removed the metal line cutter bracket as that catches material, causing it to cake up and then I trimmed the .105 line to cover the full width of the chute.Having it cut full width eliminated the problem of having stuff catch in the corners. When I reattached the line holder I made sure the cheap little plastic screw that holds that hub on was very snug. I may end up replacing that with a stainless steel screw and a lock washer because those things like to work loose.I tried it first with the metal stand under it without a bag and stuff fly's everywhere. Then I mounted the whole unit on top of one of those round plastic tubs people use to put beer kegs and ice into with the stand under that to keep the working height right and that caught all the mulch. It works fine and feels powerful enough to spin the larger and longer string. I did try throwing some twigs in and it didnt like that which surprised me since my Husky weed wacker with the same line on it will blast through twigs. Speaking of line, a tip for all you folks that complain about the junk trimmer line it comes with or how hard it is to find. Not all line is equal. Buy a spool of quality line from Stil, Husky or Echo that you'll get at a saw shop and get some miles out of it. All the hardware store and Home Depo stuff is cheap and wears out fast. Dont worry about it being round or square , thats marketing hype and its the quality of the plastic that matters. I have tried a number of brands in my weed wacker and the good stuff will last up to ten times longer. I usually think its kind of lame when people write reviews right after they bought something instead of month's later when they've had some history with it but I figured I'd better do it now before I forgot. I also think that my "modifying" the unit right away saved me some headaches later. Basically the thing looks like it will handle leaves without any branches or twigs, weeds and small plants and certainly veggie and fruit scraps. If it blows up you guys will be the first to hear about it but I doubt that will happen.

The product does a fine job of mulching leaves and even very small twigs. Anything big enough to be called a stick will greatly reduce the life of the trimmer string, so be very careful about what goes in. To its credit, it is easy to change the trimmer string, but you can go through them quickly if you're not careful, and they are 0.90 diameter, which I have found is relatively hard to find , 0.8 and 0.95 being much more common. If you stand in the obvious place to feed leaves into it, you'll quickly clog the very small air intake from dropped leaves and bits of flying mulch, so it pays t stand off to the side half way between the air intake and exhaust, but you still have to pay attention to whether it has become blocked. The noise level is not too bad, but you are only a few inches away and you'll be there for probably an hour or more if you have any significant amount of leaves. If you don't use earplugs or some other hearing protection, you will definitely regret it someday fairly soon, and in any case your ears will fill with leaf dust right away, so be smart and use something to plug and/or cover your ears. I use a couple of those large plastic leaf scoops on my hands to pick up fairly large gobs of leaves for feeding the mulcher. It works very well and you can process a lot of leaves fairly quickly, but a really big pile still takes 20 - 30 minutes to mulch. However, it is MUCH faster to mulch them than it is to try to pack them tightly into trash bags or barrels, and far, far less effort. The worst part is the hundreds and hundreds of times you have to bend over to grab the leaves. It helps to rake them often into as high a pile as possible. A foot makes a big difference when you're bending over. If the leaves are dry, there will be a LOT of leaf dust in the air, and you REALLY need to wear a filter mask and goggles. If the leaves are a bit damp, it still mulches them without a problem and keeps the dust down pretty well. There does not appear to be any way to clean or replace anything like an air filter, unlike other similar machines The motor is strong and does not slow much when mulching even a large wad of dry or damp leaves, so you can feed it fairly quickly - about as fast as you can check the leaves for sticks. The supporting legs are well made and easy to assemble, but are quite short and it seems to me that they would hold only a small lawn bag, which would fill very quickly. I was unable to stuff a collapsible fabric lawn bag (approx 30 gal.) inside the legs at at all and it's way too short for all but the smallest trash can. In my town, we cannot use lawn bags for our leaves, so I have a number of larger rectangular trash barrels like the BlueHawk 32-Gallon Black Plastic Wheeled Trash Can from Lowes and the Blue Hawk 45-Gallon Black Plastic Wheeled Trash Can from Lowes for the leaves and mulch. Filling trash bags with mulch only to lift and empty them into the cans was not an appealing proposition. I was able to make a jig to go on top of the trash cans which holds the mulcher securely and lets me mulch directly into the trash cans. I used a 2'x2' piece of plywood with a large circle cut from it (using the mulcher's legs to get the size of the circle right) and a couple more smaller venting holes , with a few small pieces of wood screwed into it to keep it from sliding around on the top of the cans. I have found that by stopping the mulcher every 25-30 scoops and tamping the mulch down just a bit with a length of 2x2 just to get the air out and de-fluff the mulch, I can get easily twice as much mulch into a barrel. It also gives me a chance to clear the air intake and breath some cleaner air for 30 seconds or so. I can tamp through the vent holes to a useful degree, but it works better to lift the mulcher out of its hole and slide it off to the side a few inches to get better access for tamping down the whole barrel. The 11:1 mulch ratio is either a marketing dream, or refers to crispy dry leaves which have never been stepped on, raked, piled, or stuffed into a bag or barrel. Unless you have an unlimited number of barrels or bags to hold your leaves, without a mulcher you naturally stuff, stomp, and crush your raked leaves as you fill barrels or bags with your raked leaves. There's no way that you'll mulch 11 of those bags into 1 bag of mulch, but you might get 5:1 on a good day. I have kept careful track (partly because I want to stop at a regular interval for tamping) and the amount of leaves that can be packed (not dropped) unmulched into the smaller 32 gallon can equals 25 decent scoops of leaves (that is, it takes 25 scoops to empty a packed can into the mulcher). Four of those packed cans , or 100 scoops from a pile can be mulched into the same 32 gallon can, so that is a 4:1 ratio of packed leaves to mulched leaves. It may not sound like it, but that is a LOT of leaves. Quite a large pile will fit into a single barrel. Surprisingly, with some extra tamping, I can get 200 scoops ( or 2 32 gallon barrels) mulched into the larger 45 gallon barrel, which makes no sense if the sizes are at all accurate, but I've done it many times. At the end of the season, it does quickly snap apart and re-nest into a very small space so I like that I don't have yet another huge machine to store. So, it's dustier than I would like it to be, noisier than I would like it to be, and I had to make my own jig in order to reasonably process the mountains of leaves that I deal with in a season, but it does work well and I don't see how it could be done much better. I am well satisfied.

After much thought and reading many of the reviews posted here ; I ordered the WORX Leaf Mulcher ...and gave it a strong work out with oak tree leaves , mostly wet and soggy at the time. ( acorns, small twigs and other debris in the leaf piles ) Consequent to some of the more thoughtful reviews posted here, I had ordered the Oregon 22 Gatorline 0.95 square shaped trimmerline and a back up of Arnold ( orange ) commercial grade trimmerline ...As many reviewers here have stated; the line provided by WORX is cheap / soft and practically worthless ...the 0.95 in diameter line is a tight fit but is definitely " doable" in the WORX machine without any modification and the hefty 13 amp motor has plenty of muscle to whip the lines ...The Oregon Gatorline was just outstanding ...making sawdust type mulch out of literally a small mountain of leaves ....the Arnold brand was good ...but the square shaped Oregon brand was vastly superior ...I changed the line ONE TIME and after about 2.5 hours of OFF and ON usage ...( you can tell the line was getting shorter and the leaves were clogging along the side when the line needed to be replaced ....with the new line installed, about a one minute operation, the mulcher went back to sawdust quality output immediately. ( definitely REMOVE the line cutter also ...just two phillips head screws ) Acorns and small branches - a principal and limiting issue for us as we had tried other types of vacuum style mulchers and the darn acorns ALWAYS jammed the device ....The WORX machine with the Gatorline literally cut thru small index finger sized branches without problem and the acorns just dropped down thru the cutting lines into the bag although a few showed signs of bruising from the cutting lines ... The bag holder is easy to assemble ( 20-30 seconds ) and if you using large contractor grade bags , they fold easily over the top of the unit ...the motor assembly fits snugly on top ...and you are ready to rock ...lol ... The boasted 11:1 bag ratio reduction seems a bit overhyped ...but ...it was probably more like 7:1 in bag reduction as an informal estimate ....The GOOD news here being that I ONLY used ONE BAG for the entire 2.5 hour leaf session ....The WORX machine simply filled the bag with a soft / wet mulch ....( leaves were wet ) ....and I dumped the bag around the garden and the base of a few of the oak trees ....raked it smooth to a 2-3 inch depth ...and it looks great that way ....and reused the bag for another mountain of leaves ... A few of the neighbors came by and asked if they could have the next bag or two of mulch for their flower beds ....( no problem as long as they haul it ...lol ) The machine itself is NOT overly loud ...but it will spit out mud and leaf debris so your face / clothes will be dirty when done , especially with wet leaves ...so eyewear is essential ... The feeding rate of leaves to the mulcher will vary based on line wear and wet or dry leaves ...but ...about as fast as you can comfortably scoop up a big bundle and feed it into the cone ....some shaking of the machine to dislodge material build up along the sides helps also ... One of the features NOT mentioned by WORX is the Three year warranty included with purchase as that would have alleviated some of my concerns during the research phase ...LOL Summary - excellent product with a few minor adaptations ...hope this comment proves helpful - Mike

Likes: when I dropped the first few piles of leaves in this machine, it tore through them like a hot knife through soft butter! And it doesn’t just mulch the leaves, it pulverizes them! Last weekend I was using a leaf vac/mulcher that looks like a big lawnmower. It also does a good job of mulching the leaves, but since we have large areas on our lawn where no grass grows, it sucks up and disperses large amounts of dust, which I’m sure is annoying our neighbors. Also, the collection bag on that device is too big to easily dump the mulched leaves into the paper lawn & garden bags which are required in our county. So I needed a new solution. The Worx WG-430 is satisfying that need, with a few caveats. Dislikes: right out of the box, it was obvious this device was not friendly to the tall brown paper lawn bags that I have to use for leaf collection. First, it’s not tall enough for the paper bags to fit underneath it, and second, the paper bags will not easily fold over the top of the stand as shown in the pictures and video. Paper bags just don’t work that way. But reading other reviews, I learned there are solutions to both those problems. For the height problem, I bought some 3/4” PVC tubing at Home Depot for about $6, and used three 2’ lengths of that and some Gorilla Tape to make the stand a foot taller. Then I took a large heavy-duty trash bag and cut the bottom off of it, and folded that over the frame to act as a funnel to direct the mulched leaves into the paper bag. Boom, problems solved. Other things to be aware of: this device does not like twigs or sticks. The Worx WG-430 is basically a weed-whacker/string trimmer with legs. Like all string trimmers, the strings need to be replaced fairly often. Twigs and sticks greatly shorten the life of the strings, but it’s near impossible to prevent them from getting in there. Fortunately, it’s not difficult to replace the strings; just make sure you have a good supply of them. You’ll know it’s time to replace the strings and/or unclog the bowl when performance slows down - when the leaves don’t disappear immediately into the bag. Remember I mentioned this device pulverizes leaves? It reduces them almost to a powder. This means it’ll take a LOT of leaves to fill up a bag, and when the bag finally gets full, it will be quite heavy. Just be aware of that. So, with a couple of simple modifications and accepting that I have to replace the strings fairly often, I’m happy with this device. It’s dealing with the leaves from the four huge trees in our backyard efficiently, but it’s not covering our neighbors’ homes and cars with dust.
