I was skeptical at first, but decided to give it a try. I chose this model because it has a setting for pine straw. Each year I acumulate a large mound of oak leaves with a heavy mixture of pine straw. I have used it only once so far but it worked very well with material that was still wet from rain. I used the fine setting, as the pine straw setting caused the wet material to clog too quickly. It produced two large wheelbarrows of mulch, which I spread on my daylillies and fruit trees in about an hour's time. I went through three of the strings to do this. Also, I had to use a longer extension cord than recomended with no problems. You just have to take your time, and unclog if the hopper backs up. It produces material perfect for the compost pile, which will speed decomposition. Very happy so far.Read full review

This unit works well and can compact leaves to varying grades. I even use it on dried seagrass to produce a fine mulch.
