Just Shred and Spread For a Beautiful Yard
Transform your yard into a showplace, without all the sweat and strain. With the help of its extra-large, 21-inch-diameter funnel, the Leaf-Eater effortlessly reduces wet or dry yard waste--including rain-soaked leaves and grass clippings--into nutrient-rich mulch or compost that you can reuse right in your flowerbeds or vegetable garden. With this efficient tool, creating a great yard is as simple as shredding and spreading!

Two-Step Process Shreds and Mulches
This system utilizes a two-step process that shreds and then mulches for fast cleanup and maximum waste reduction. Simply feed double handfuls of material into the hopper and watch the Leaf-Eater do all the work.

Patented Design and Powerful Motor Shred Debris Fast
Thanks to its patented design, double heavy-duty cutting lines, and powerful universal motor with circuit breaker and reset button for overload protection, the Leaf-Eater shreds wet or dry leaves, thatch, grass clippings, pine needles, and even paper as fast as you can load them.

Use the elastic bungee cord to hold your leaf bag in place, or place the Leaf-Eater atop your trash container (with a leaf bag inside) for mess-free disposal. Additionally, the Leaf-Eater's adjustable pressure knobs allow positioning of the hopper to any angle for easier loading; the hopper also rotates 180 degrees for compact storage.

Range of Shredding Adjustments for Flexibility
The Leaf-Eater offers the convenience of a range of shredding adjustments from coarse to fine--up to 30:1 particle size-reduction. A sliding control lever that’s easy to read allows you to choose the right setting for the job.

Lightweight Design and Built-In Carrying Handles for Easy Portability
Lightweight at just 17 pounds, the Leaf-Eater features a rugged, high-density polyethylene funnel and housing, as well as steel leg construction for long life and easy maintenance. And for true portability, built-in carrying handles allow this unit to go where you go.

Quick and Easy Assembly Right Out of the Box
Out of the box, the Leaf-Eater is a snap to put together in minutes; you'll only need a #2 Phillips-head screwdriver. Maintenance is equally effortless thanks to the removable motor intake filter--just remove and clean periodically. The Leaf-Eater also features a convenient built-in storage compartment to hold replacement cutting lines, gloves, and safety glasses.

Dimensions and Warranty Information
The LE-900 Leaf-Eater measures 19.5 x 19.5 x 23.0 inches (WxHxD) and comes with legs, 36 heavy-duty cutting lines, and a full, one-year warranty.

4 out of 5 stars Still working after 4 years and leaves from 8 large trees   November 20, 2009
R. Dahlgren (Dallas, TX)
Simple to use and long lasting! Just make certain the leaves do not cover the motor on the bottom. It can be cleaned out but does put a delay in your day. Love being able to have finely chopped leaves for my compost pile. Speeds up the composting process and we are not contributing good material to a landfill. Wish all my neighbors used one.


3 out of 5 stars Compromises for Shipping   November 18, 2009
Albert F. Nelowet III (Woodbridge, Virginia United States)
I really wanted to give this item a great review. Here are the plusses:

1. More powerful than other reviews credit: I was able to fine shred dry and damp leaves without the two-step recommended process.
2. Very satisfied with all other aspects of this machine-- works as advertised-- don't expect it to shred anything other than leaves, but it's more than equal to that task.

Negatives:

1. Flowtron has broken the system into various parts in order to minimize shipping costs. Assembly of these broken-down parts is frustrating. Components of the funnel do not fit that well when you assemble them.

2. The stand fell apart on me shortly after starting work this Fall. Flowtron provides it to you in two pieces which you must join with a plastic ligature assembly in the middle. The ligature assembly fails under minimal stress so I was faced with the choice of working with a wobbly machine on the verge of collapse or stopping and reassebling Flowtron's rickety stand design. My solution is to insert and screw in a dowell into the two stand tubes. I wish I could have had the option of paying more for shipping a solid system rather than spending time and money fixing things that were compromised for shipping purposes.



4 out of 5 stars what a relief   November 17, 2009
Timothy Will
I purchased this item from sams club with free shipping. After reading the reviews I was prepared for failure and frustration. Im very glad I don't have to tote around that dang leaf vaccum anymore. I have a corner lot with maple's all around me. I have more leaves than the owners of the trees.......After some tedious 20minutes of strugglingto put it together, quickly I decided I would forgive the machine for all the frustration it had caused me. I would buy it all over again and maybe will give a couple out for gifts this year.


4 out of 5 stars Very happy with this shredder   November 15, 2009
Honest Jack (New York)
I have finally used the leaf shredder. I have huge trees with mostly oak and tulip trees. The leaves were very dry so they shredded with ease. I used a trash can with a plastic bag in it. This arrangement was the easiest to use. I have not used this on wet leaves yet but will have a chance this weekend.
I also found that it handled small twigs fine. The string replacement was also very easy. I am very happy so far with this product.



1 out of 5 stars Don't buy   November 13, 2009
Barbara Young
We bought one from Amazon in the spring of 08 ( 1 yr warranty) the warranty isn't worth much given you only use the unit within a short fall season. Our old electric shredder lasted 12 years and the motor was still going when we gave it away because the upper body had developed a crack. This one died the second time we used it this fall. Don't buy unless you like buying one for each season.
