A Lean, Green, Mulching Machine
Shredding leaves with a traditional gas shredder/mulcher can disturb the environment with noxious air and loud noise. Thankfully, with the electric WORX Leaf Mulcher, you can put the 'green' back in 'green thumb'.

Showcasing a powerful 13 Amp motor that delivers 8,500 RPMs, the WORX Leaf Mulcher will reduce a mass of dead leaves and twigs to 1/11th of its original size. That means you won't be lugging 11 bags of whole leaves to the curb for distribution or disposal--instead, you'll only have to worry about a single bag.

With the WORX Leaf Mulcher's 13-inch cut diameter and oversized mouth, you can mulch up to 53 gallons of leaves per minute. Acres of dried leaves can be collected and pulverized into manageable mounds of mulch in practically no time at all.

Create Mulch and Compost
It is estimated that almost 25% of the urban waste stream is made of yard waste and debris. In the fall, it can account for more than 60% of what flows into your local landfill.

The WORX Leaf Mulcher actually transforms your yard's dead leaves and debris, which would normally end up in a landfill, into vitamin-rich mulch and compost that can be recycled into your garden or flowerbeds.

Shredded leaf mass furnishes nutrients that assist in new plant growth during the growing season. Furthermore, mixing mulch into your garden and flower beds will aerate the soil and encourage new growth. Additionally, leaf mulch will increase water retention in the soil, reducing watering time and saving money.

Compact, Versatile, and Easy to Use
At less than 20 pounds, the WORX Leaf Mulcher features a compact design, in which the disassembled parts nest neatly together for convenient off-season storage on a shelf in your shed or garage. Setup takes only a few minutes, with absolutely no additional tools required!

In addition, the mulcher features a dust-reducing clean-air motor cooling system. Air and mulched leaves are separated through an external cooling air intake and exhaust to significantly reduce dust generation.

For further convenience, The WORX Leaf Mulcher's safe Flex-a-Line bladeless mulching system features tool-less cutting line replacement and a universal bag holder that accepts both paper and plastic bags. To top it off, an oversized on/off switch allows for easy, hassle-free operation.

The WORX heavy-duty Leaf Mulcher is the one machine that will end hours of misery once and for all and will make fall cleanup fast and easy!

What's in the Box

Customer Reviews

A little dusty but works really well..
This is my first experience with a leaf shredder other than my mulching mower. I filled a large plastic contractor bag in it's first use. It does shred about a 9:1 ratio. And I used the mulched leaves for a landscaped area.

Pluses:
The motor seems very strong and the weed whip material seems to hold up well. And it's simple to assemble, move around and store. Fairly light weight too.

Issues:
My plastic bag didn't allow air circulation and the leaves were dry, causing a LOT of leaf dust to blow out the top. Mostly on me. I may try a different bag or no bag next time and that may resolve that proble. BUT wear a dust mask. And the unit needs to be on flat ground as it's a bit tippy on its legs.

It's simple to operate, put it on the lawn, rake or leaf blow the leaves round the mulcher, and start loading them in. It has a very large top and lots of leaves can be dropped in at one time. I wish I had tried one of these jobbos before. It's a real time saver and landfill reducer. Nine bags into one mulched bag! Makes me feel Green.

It WORX !
I am buried in leaves after 4 straight weekends of rain. I have a 3-bucket lawn tractor, but when the leaves get deep it clogs constantly and needs to be emptied every 20 feet. So I bought the WORX WG430. You can't feed it faster than it can eat the leaves, or it will clog. However, if you feed it a couple of handfuls and wait until it grinds them up before feeding more, it works great. It grinds the leaves into almost a soil. A heavy-duty plastic bag of 30 gallons hold a rather large pile. It works with wet and dry leaves (you feed wet ones slower). If you change the plastic strings with each bagfull, it really works great. I have filled about 10 bags so far and just dump the contents in the garden as mulch. Sticks should be avoided. I live in the woods and have found it better to use bare hands to pick up the leaves so I can feel and pull them out before feeding the leaves. If one gets in and bounces around, you can power down and pull it out. Little twigs about the size of pipe cleaners go through fine. Finger-sized sticks need to be avoided.
