The wide 21-inch diameter funnel swallows leaves as fast as you can feed them, mincing them down to fine mulch. This little unit is surprisingly powerful, and at only 17 pounds it?s so light you can mount it atop a trash can or bungee-cord a plastic bag to the outfeed and collect the waste. Out of the box, it goes together literally in minutes with just a screwdriver. The hopper tilts to 45 degrees to make loading easier, and the sliding control lever is easy to read, with settings for grass, thatch, wet leaves, dry leaves and pine needles. Double cutting lines are powered by an 8-amp motor on regular household current, and the motor intake filter comes out easily for cleaning. A built-in storage compartment keeps extra line at the ready, and changing cutter lines is easy. It?s a great unit for the homeowner, reducing 11 bags of leaves to just one bag of mulch, ready for use in flower beds and vegetable gardens.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Customer Reviews

Flotron Leaf Eater

This is the second Flotron Leaf Eater that I have purchased.
The first one has to be 20 years old, and is still going strong!
The new one is easier to use and works "GREAT." I definitely reccommend this product for anyone who wants to shred and compost leaves!
It works just "as advertised." It's perfect!

Dangerous.

Jams easily. Clearing the jam could cost you a finger. Not an efficient piece of equipment.

Meets expectations

This machine performed exactly as described. Ease of assembly: What could be easier? The only tool required is a Philips screw driver! If it is used according to instructions, it performs quite well. Keep those sticks out! It is, after all, just a weed wacker on steroids. Don't overload the hopper, give it time to digest, and all will be well. My sycamores produce alot of dust, so a dust mask is indispensible. If you want to mulch leaves, this is the product for you. If you want to grind twigs and branches, get something else. 5 stars. A quality product for the price.

Ultimate mulcher

I have over 30 very lark Oak trees and a hand full of pines on my 1 acre lot and when the leafs come down, not only do I get all of mine but all of the surrounding trees too. I didn't want to spend a couple of thousand on a mulcher to pull behind my tractor, beides there are some areas I can't get into. So I bought this after reading many reviews and watching some video's. It amazed me to see it work in person and how simple it was to operate and change the strings. I am very pleased with the purchase and it will be getting a workout again in the spring.

eating lots of leaves

The flowtron leaf ultimate mulcher ate its way through 1/2 acre of leaves. We learned a couple of tricks.
1. dont stuff in the leaves, fill it lightly, it works better and faster that way.
2. immediately remove any sticks, it cant digest sticks all it does is strip them raw, gum up the works and break the cutting strings
3. keep one nice stick , oh about 3/4"diam x 2ft long to stir the leaves in the bin, scraping the edges as it spins this much enhances the process
We set it on "Fine" and the result is a nice leaf mulch which we have been spreading under our trees and adding to our compost bin
