Worx WG430 13 Amp Electric Leaf Mulcher

Would I recommend this mulched? You bet!!!!! We tried it immediately and had our expectations surpassed! The best part was NOT having to deal with a lot of dust. We couldn't believe it. We still wear masks, but this is hardly any dust to deal as a result of mulching. Anything else just doesn't compare. Thank you, WORX!

I received this leaf mulcher about a week before we got blasted with snow and was able to use it a little bit while the weather was still cooperating. I thought it did a good job mulching the leaves and am really glad someone put the effort into creating this much-needed piece of equipment and offer it at a reasonable price. It didn't seem like there were 11 bags of leaves reduced to 1 but the bag usage is, without question, reduced significantly. That said, I always stuff those bags to the MAX so maybe their 11 bag equivalent is based on loosely filled bags. The only thing that springs to mind about using this piece of equipment is to have a set of earphones/plugs handy. This thing is pretty loud and should not be operated without them. Overall, this mulcher performs as I anticipated it would. Could it be improved upon? Sure, with a higher price tag. Does it do the job and is it affordable? For sure! I'm glad I came across this unit and hope it withstands the use for many seasons to come.

I bought one for myself and then purchased another for a friend as a Christmas gift. Instead of bagging 12 bags of leaves....I had 2 bags of nice, fine mulch for my garden. So easy....for those of us that don't like the task of bagging leaves......This is the way to go. Thank you, WORX for another great product.

Pros: This product quickly and easily turned my yard full of non-composting leaves into finely shredded mulch which should break down with ease. It is easy to assemble, light and mobile, and I swapped out leaf bags without trouble. It came with plenty of extra "blades" (plastic string, like a weed wacker). A great product, especially for the price. Cons: It would be nice to have something wider on the base of each "foot", as the poles acted like high heels, sinking easily into the ground, sometimes on one side more than the other, causing the machine to become lopsided. Neutral: I had issues with shredded leaves sticking in the barrel instead of falling through the bottom - this is less about the product, as those were the leaves that were wetter. It worked great for dry leaves, so it isn't a con, but if it worked better with wet leaves too it would have been a pro. It also gets a bit jammed up on sticks, and it can't break them up, but I didn't buy it for that purpose. From what I could find, machines either mulched sticks well or mulched leaves well, but none did both well (at least at this price point). If you want to mulch sticks and branches, this is not the machine for that.

I had another brand that was difficult to collect the mulched leaves and clogged all the time. I can put a drawstring plastic bag over the stand and run till it fills up. A great feature. One complaint people have had is changing the string a lot. I went to a heavy duty string and it probably lasts 5 times as long as the original. I mulched 3 full bags of wet leaves yesterday and I think I changed one string.
