#REVIEW: WORX Leaf Mulcher 

People are so critical ..thank you for the time you took to demonstrate

I have at least 20 Worx product. I always come here to look for reviews. EXCELLENT review! Subscribed! Thank you for sharing.

Its an excellent tool. I took a 55 gallon plastic drum, cut the top off and made a bracket out of steel tubing to set the shredder directly on top of the drum. When the drum got full I picked up the chopper and pushed down on the leaves. When it would not compress any more I would take the drum to where I wanted the chopped leaves to sit and dump the chopped leaves out

Just bought a used one an estate auction for $38. Looking forward to trying it out. Thanks for the trimmer line instruction.

I love mine I’ve had my 2 years getting better every year❤️⛄️

Thank you for sharing your experience. You get a gold star ⭐️

Thanks for the setup and demo. I am going to try a diy hack version of a battery powered string trimmer in a tub of leaves to see if that does a similar job. If it doesn't do what I need, this item might be what I want. edit- my goal is to shred for composting, not setting to the curb, so being able to process grass clippings and kitchen scraps as well is my end goal.

Did my yard this week with it. Worked great. Turned most of the leaves to powder. This my second season with it.

I have this and it’s the best!!! Use it to shred leaves for compost.

So very helpful!! Thank you!!! Great job!!!

Nice review, I wish the Legs had adjustment to raise or lower depending on a person' height

Thank you. Found it very useful.

For years I have just run over my leaves with a push lawnmower then just take them up put in compost pile works great.

The best and quickest remedy is an electric mulching lawn mower--I like the Scotts because of the metal deck-it's quieter and a lot more power-will chew up twigs also-and a much finer mulch. Got all my neighbors doing the same thing now, LOL.

Looks great! I’ll hire you and pay for replacement string as I have lots of oak and magnolia. 😎👍🏻

I use a the toro leaf blower with the vacuum attachment. It cuts the leaves in tiny pieces and I only have to touch the leaves once no raking. thanks for the nice review and demo of the works leaf mulcher though. Nice job

Fired off mine today, and here,s my plug, Just confirming some of what is shown here. Safety glasses, and maybe a face shield and hearing protection are a must. I used us the first cutter lines in less than 60 seconds. It is as advertised a leaf mulch tool. It does not like sticks or twigs. Any thing bigger than a leaf stem will eat up the cutter line. Therefore the rate of feed is much slower than advertised. I don't know if your trees only drop leaves but mine loose a lot of twigs and sticks. I had to carefully pick out sticks and twigs. Also leaves not fully dried clog it up. The package of line was consumed completely after 10 bags of cottonwood in 4 hours. Overall it worked well. Disappointed with how much line it consumed. The mulch was fine and looked good. The shorter the trimmer line the slower It processed the leaves. The slower it processed The finer the mulch. So far I like it and it worked well.

This was a more helpful video review. I am looking to mulch avocado leaves which are somewhat thick, and they are often a combination of dry and more green leaves as they fall all year long. I'm wondering if this machine would work on them. I fear it might not work so well.

I loved the results I had gotten with mine but it only worked one season, it wants to shut down right away now. Think I will just go with my weed-trimmer in a garbage can for my leaves. I learned a long time ago, take a minute and look at the paper work that comes with a product. Totally recommend safety glasses when working with this machine.

For those of us who bag the shredded leaves, could you demonstrate how the bag works? Thanks!

I thought it was a great video. You can see how much there was there in the beginning and in the aftermath.Looks like you’ll have some great products for your mulching compost.

Please advise how to clean the air filter, etc. to keep the motor running well. Dust is a major issue. Thanks. CWB.

Thanks couldn't figure this out 😅

I have a lot of twigs in my oak leaves. They wear out the line way too fast, even with the heavier line. I built a 4x8 table for picking out twigs, but that was too slow. Looking for a chipper shredder.

Can one substitute wire for the plastic cutter. I believe they make such a product. And it would endure longer. What do you think? Thanks! CWB.

Nicely done!

Got one for Xmas.

A Great Mulcher

Good job

what if you try using steel cable instead about the same size as the weed trimmer line wouldn't that chop it up even more just wondering ?

Do you have a link to the "hand scoop thingies" you are using? Or if you are not happy with those, any other suggestion?

Have you tried putting hay or straw through it? Looking for something to cut down to smaller feed.

Since it's string, do you think they could handle thithona (mexican sunflowers) enough so they could be more effectively used as green manure? Also, how do you think it would fare using metal line?

I bought one. It works great on dry leaves. Not as well on wet ones. But, it does go through a lot of trimmer line. I'm going to try an appropriate sized metal line to see if it would work better. I wonder if anyone has tried a metal line.

Do you have any feedback about how well, or not, the cutting strings hold up? Thanks.

If one must stay with the plaster string, what is the highest rating that the machine will accommodate? Thanks! CWB.

Seems running over with a mulching mower would be as good/quick.

Since you've had this for a couple seasons have you found a better line?

I just purchased mine, based upon this review.... I understand its a String System, any idea if if you can remove the string Housing and attach something like a Weed Warriors ??

Instead of plastic string can wire be used?

How to mulch wet leaves use this machine. Any tip?

So you really loaded it,,directions say handful !t a time,, just put mine together,, will try t tomorrow

merry christmas..............

Great job , but id ware a mask doing the dry leaf.

I would have liked a little more show rather than tell: show the wear on the trimmer cord - don't describe it. Show the manual pages. You can use the mulcher without bags if you want but for a review, you ought to attach a bag as the manufacturer intended. Position the camera high and closer to the mulcher so we can see how well the leaves flow into it. Show the buildup of mush inside and how the twigs block the ports. This was like a radio review instead of a video review.

The music detracts from the production, it doesn't add, remove it and re-upload for longer watch times.

Will it let you set it on a trash can

for safety never put your hands inside, that is something very important.

I want one but I live in an apartment

I don't see a huge difference between piles "before" and "after". Seems it misses some quantity of leafs. ) Perhaps it requires an adjustments or it is simple poorly designed stuff.

Ok video. Take a couple practice shoots to perfect before filming. Would have been worth reading the instructions first online then explain when assembling which took too long to watch. Good explaining of the wet and dry leaves effects on shredder. Nice to name types of leaves but needed to know large, thick leaves or sizes of small sticks that could be used. Thanks for sharing the tips.

Hi

Nature will do it ... seems not a must one...

Where's the link for the brushes?

It's good to see that you can 'MULCH' in place but some of us need to use the bags so it would have been nice for you to show us how that extra piece worked too.

Can cutting blades be used with this machine

Does not handle twigs or the line is not very strong. Had to replace after every bag of leaves

I doubt that machine would be able to shred wet leafs

So you take a pile of leaves to make a pile of ground up leaves. 👍🏼

Notice you didn't unplug your Shredder while sticking your hand inside of the Shredder don't you think that maybe you should unplug it first????

Criticism meant to be constructive: 1. Dump the music. It's too irritating to have to hear an endless, useless distraction. 2. It would have been good to read the instructions outside of the video time so we don't have to use our time to watch you read. 3. You did not tell us the reduction ratio. You could have started with bagged leaves and later put the mulch into bags and the difference in quantity would be very informative. On the whole, this was a helpful review.

Wouldn't it be easier to run them over with a lawn mower? That's what I used to do and the leaves just disappeared.

Hey man, you're not setting a very good example of what to do when clearing the machine and changing string. Unplug the shredder before you stick your hands in there! Outside of that, I appreciate your video. It helped me make a decision on buying one.

I dont't get this. Just run your mower over the leaves. I've been doing that for decades and it works for composting.

I wouldn’t buy that. Just collect the leaves and shred them with mower.

get a mulching lawn mower...it's so much quicker and does a better mulch job.....get a honda if you can afford it.....and you won;t add any plastic to your soil like that thing

I could not watch the whole video. The sound effect (could not call it music) was too annoying.

Thank you. Totally convinced it’s a piece of crap. Might as well take your belt off and whip the pile. Save you a lot of time
