Pros & Cons
Pros
The le-900 shreds and mulch leaves with a design and ruggedness to accomplish that task. It shreds leaves with no problem, for dry leaves it makes a lot of dust so close your windows and make sure you wear a mask.
Flowtron ler-100 replacement lines last longer than cutting up less expensive *-* trimmer lines. Heavy trimmer string is easy to change--no winding on a spool. Small twigs will go through it okay.
Construction seems flimsy and yet it works well and seems durable enough. This allows you to set up in the garden area you are raking (less waling back and forth) only negative is the way the bucket connects to the metal arms.
Cons
Flowtron's shredder is not suitable for any sort of serious leaf shredding. It takes years for them to decompose into mulch if simply left in a pile. A single twig 1/4 in diameter or a watermelon rind is enough.
For an american made product, it's rather chinesey in my book; the plastic cowling, flimsy frame. This flimsy machine is poorly designed, cheaply made and difficult to put together.
String trimmer with a hopper. The screw that secures the trimmer line spinner is hollow plastic. Why isn't the spin head made out of metal, knowing it will be exposed to heat?
Broken device. Beware purchasing this item on-line.
Highlights
Quality
Easy to use and handles wet leaves and small sticks well in small batches well warms up after a 2 hours
So far so good shreds lots faster and better than my leaf vacblower and the trimmer string is very durable
This is my second flowtron purchase the first lasted about 10 years of intermittent use
This is a leaf shredder not a wood chipper although oak twigs get chewed up easily
Price
Low cost way of dealing with all my leaves
And add a zero to the end of the price
So for the naysayers for the money this is a good product
The best recommendation i saw here was to buy a giant reel of your own for like 15 and just cut to size
Shipping
Friends and family were very impressed on how it got the job done quickly
They replied they would ship a replacement that day
After receiving it on saturday 28 january 2023 i finally got a chance to put it together and try it out the next day
Competitiveness
I read multiple reviews on multiple products and several people suggested this model flowtron le900 over other similarly priced... Read More
