No 8 Amp Motors

According to Flowtron, they use the same motor in all models of their leaf shredders and all motors have a label showing 5 amps. Flowtron says these motors increase in amps under load! Well,that would cause more heat and stress in the motor. So, there are no 8 amp motors!
What do you get for paying an extra $50 for the LE-900 model? You get a stand that swivels, a small bungee cord at the bottom to hang a trash bag,and a small compartment on the side with a door on it to store extra cutting line!
You might get a pair of safety goggles if your box has a "G" after the model #.

Problem with motor

This was my second shredder from the same company. The original had a different stand that isn't great, but the machine still works well after possibly a dozen years.
I then sort-of upgraded to this model. Soon after the warrantee was up I had electrical problems. The motor had a breaker the first model didn't have. I contacted a very nice lady who said I could cut out and splice the breaker wires. I did and the motor burnt out.
It was out of warrantee and I went back to the old shredder which I'm happy to say is still doing fine. I don't know if all units have this problem, but it was a bummer this newer model didn't last half as long as my original shredder. The concept is great for compacting leaves for disposal or for use in gardens.

Leaf mulcher

Great product. I have been needing this for several years.
I find that it helps to wet the leaves for a few days in advance of mulching. Our Live Oak leaves here in South Texas are as thick as shoe leather. Even after wetting and mulching, I still have to run them through the mulcher again at times.

The Ultimate Mulcher quickly recycles yard and garden waste into nutrient rich mulch, solving the disposal problem. It can reduce leaves, pine neddles, grass clippings and even paper, wet or dry, from 11 bags into only 1. The mulcher is constructed of steel and rugged high-density polythylene for long life and easy maintenance, has a powerful 8.0 amp thermally protected universal motor with overload protection, and runs on an ordinary household current. Please note, this mulcher is NOT designed for sticks, twigs or branches. Moderate assembly required. It features:
A. Coarse to Fine Shredding Adjustment- special settings for pine needles, thatch, and grass clippings
B. Convenient Built-in Storage Compartment- holds replacement cutting lines, gloves, safety glasses, etc.
C. Special Tilt Adjustment- rotates 180 degrees for compact storage
D. Elastic Bungee Cord- holds leaf-bag firmly in place
