The flow funnel is does not match up with the body - making assembly very difficult. The strings can not handle any workload. The slighted hint of lawn clipping with moisture - just sits there. The motor died from heat after 30 min. Group I bought it from denies anything like this. Try to reach customer service at Armaton/Flowtron. What a joke. Can't get a hold of anyone - no one will return a call. I am just going to send by unit back to the president. See how he likes junk being delivered to him. Not a very good design!!!

This makes the cutting strings break. I am having trouble constantly cutting string and reloading it into the leaf mulcher. I might try using wire tomorrow.

Still a better solution than using my cheesy leaf blower with the munchin' attachment . It cries when fall in Connecticut occurs. Interesting idea, still have the problem of raking the leaves up.
