It turned 20 leaf bags into one. We needed to change the thread multiple times but that worth it. We filled 3-4 shredded bags in a day. Ready for composting.
This product was great for my project! I had another brand for several years and loved it too, but it died. After much ado, I chose the SunJoe to replace it. It has several features and more power than the other. The twine is so much easier to change - no tools needed. My whole need for this product is about pine straw. No other reviews seemed to talk about pine straw mulching. I have only reviewed two other things in my life and one of those was a vacation location. I have twenty 100' tall huge pine trees in my yard. I decided to use pine straw to make a pathway in my new wonderful raised bed garden. It took a few days but it is wonderful - almost like a carpet! You have to set the setting on "coarse" instead of "pine straw" or it would take forever and more twine than you could stand to use. My pathway is 84' x 3' x 2" thick. I did have to change the twine for every trash bag full of mulch. And you much be patient - go slow and put a big handful in at a time. It takes about 20 minutes to fill a bag. I am female and 5'10" tall. After each bag I changed the twine and rested and encouraged myself to do another one. It's a slow process. But - I LOVE IT!
Received it, had some problems installing legs is about it. Runs great, goes thru cutting lines quick especially when there are small twigs in pile. Used two days in a row, only problem was dirty power switch, used air compressor to blow out area and fixed it.
Works great. Walmart had the best price and delivery was prompt. Reduce a 30 gallon bag of leaves to about 4 gallons in a matter of minutes. Great for composting! Very easy assembly.
The machine itself is easy to use and was helpful for me to chop hay for a horse that could not swallow regular hay. It was awesome in that respect. I did find however that the chopped product does tend to get caught up in the area just under the hole to feed in the stuff you want shredded. It then needs to be removed. I also wish the string would last a little longer but these are minor things in the overall performance. Customer service is excellent on this product as I had to return my first machine because of a switch problem and the replaced it with free shipping and a prepaid voucher to send the othe machine back. Very awesome service.
This could have been made better. As far as doing the job, it works great, but I had to modify it in several places. The biggest is the cooling air intake for the motor.There is a filter that is internal and cannot be cleaned without taking the whole thing apart, I put a pre filter on the outside that keeps the internal filter from getting completely blocked . Next I taped over any gaps or openings ,this keeps the leaf dust down. I use a strap to attach the bag, this seals it and keeps a lot of the leaf dust down.
I've had this sunjoe leaf mulcher+shredder for about 3 SpringSummer Seasons. It worked great! The Shredder shredded green weeds and redwood needles for mulch and for composting in my garden. Unfortunately this Spring 2024 the on/0ff button is difficult to push in and the motor won't stay on!!!!. Both of my thumbs are exhausted from trying to turn the machine on. I've cleaned inside and the dust sponges but the on/off switch won't go on or won't stay on. Very frustrated! I'm not sure I want to take it apart to clear the on/off button connections. Do I really need to buy another shredder? Couldn't Sunjoe make a better on/off switch like the chipper?
This is another one of those products that make me wonder whether the people who engineered and designed it have actually used it. First let me say that it does have a sufficiently powerful motor and does deliver the promised results. Not sure if it is a 16:1 reduction but it turned a big pile of leaves into a finitely mulched small pile so I'm happy with the result. What I'm not so happy with is the amount of time and labor it takes to get there. The fundamental problem is the hopper and feeder chute are too small. Once the leaves get to the trimmer lines it works great but the chute opening is so small that even average size leaves (oak/maple/poplar) clog and have to be forced through it. If there are any small twigs in the mix it jams things up even further. This means that once you fill the hopper with a load of leaves you have to manually push them through the opening before you can put the next load in the hopper. So by the time I put a load of leaves in the hopper, put my leaf grabbers down, pick up a tool to push the leaves through the chute, drop the tool and reacquire your my leaf grabbers, it has taken 30 seconds plus to process one hopper full of leaves. At that rate it would take forever to get through even a modest pile of leaves. This really makes it a two person job, one to load the leaves and one to push them down to the cutting lines with some sort of tool (I used a small 8" hand rake). Still not super fast but better. So while the concept is fantastic, I think the hopper and chute opening really need to be about twice their current size in order for the machine to be effective. While this machine does work and is better than nothing they could have made it much better than they did. Properly engineered I would have given it 5 stars, as it is I have to give SunJoe a failing grade on this product.
used twice. motor blew on second use. called the company and they said it was under warranty but had none in stock and they'd reach out when they could replace it. that is the last I've heard from them. that was last year in the fall.
Even though everything was aligned properly, one of the two latches that hold the top to the bottom broke when assembling it. Looking at the latch, and being an engineer, I can see it broke due to a stress concentration in the plastic. The latch was not designed very well.
