Review: Nice product - Bought this product because of another review I read from a lady in New Mexico who used it to chop hay for an old Horse. I am in the same situation with our old Arab. He is 37 and has worn out his teeth, can no longer chew hay and everything I can buy over the counter is too course, so I thought I would give this a try. Worked great, very dusty but the finished product was what i was after. took about fifteen minutes to grind up a bale of alfalfa hay, used a set of strings, but not complaining because I moistened this fine hay slightly and my old man tore into it like a teenager. Seeing him eating hay and not water logged hay pellets alone was worth the price of this piece of equipment. Note to people looking, this is not a chipper, it is a shredder. It will not handle wood because it is not designed for wood, it does however do a fantastic job of shredding. It is dusty, so if you are afraid of getting dirty you might want to look elsewhere. Otherwise put on a dust mask long sleeve shirt, gloves and safety glasses and get the job done. Great machine for what it is designed for. Easy to assemble and easy to operate. Five stars.
Review: Company stands behind its product. - This worked well for us the first year. We typically had 20+ bags of leaves, but were able to break it all down for the garden beds. It was great because the leaves have nutrients for the gardens, they compact and break down in less than a year, AND I found that they helped to keep the spring weeds at bay--or made them super easy to pull out. The second year, however, the shredder wouldn't start for us. So I called Sun Joe and because I'd registered my product, they stood behind the warranty and replaced. They didn't give me a hard time and made it super easy to return the current one. With that, it makes me more likely to try their other products because I know they want to stand behind them. I haven't tried the replacement yet since we used alternate methods of shredding while waiting for the replacement, so it will be awhile before I know how that one lasts. One thing--the representative I talked to said to be sure to use a 14-gauge extension cord and that outdoor cords come in 14 & 16 gauges. This may not be a big deal to most, but usually, the gauge is not listed on the cord where as the amperage is, so I'm not sure what gauge my different outdoor power sources are. If you're not sure either, I'd suggest buying a new cord with it or first determining what yours is.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are the lines easy to replace? About how long do they last?**
A: The lines are easy to replace. Took me about 30 seconds. My first set lasted for 3.5 large lawn and leaf bags. I had some twigs in there too which probably had a little to do with it.

**Q: Can I use the Birtish 230 Volt supply for this device?**
A: I'm assuming the questionnaire means standard British 230 Volts. I'm not sure what would result as the motor is meant for standard U.S. 115 Volts so 230 Volts may over-speed the motor. Would suggest that a transformer be used to step down to 115 Volts.

**Q: I have a very large yard.  What's the maximum length and size outdoor extension cord(s) I can use with this shredder without burning out the motor?**
A: My extension cord is 50 feet long, 2 25s connected together.  The current rating is for when the device is mulching, not just spinning, which in my experience if you are doing it alone is about 75% of the time.  The risk is not in burning out the motor because of the cord, the risk is overheating the cord.  If you are not overloading the motor, it should last, like mine has. Before you buy a heavy (hard to use) 14 or 12 gauge wire, try the 16 Gauge and feel the wire after 30 minutes of use, if it is warm or hot then you will need to use the higher gauge wire.  Note: this device has two design flaws, the legs, no matter how you tighten them tend to slide down during use; and it is difficult to keep a paper leaf bag secured under the device, I use large rubber bands (garbage can size), the elastic band on the device doesn't work for paper bags.

**Q: where is this manufactured?**
A: The Sun Joe leaf mulcher/shreader
is manufactured in New Jersey.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A small miracle for do-it-yourselfers....
*by J***S on May 29, 2023*

I first discovered this machine, late last year, but didn't purchase it until this spring. At the time, the much -dreaded task of bagging leaves in the fall was looming large and I had finally had enough. To close out the year, I made one big pile of leaves by using a heavy-duty tarp and picking one area of the property. Fast-forward to Spring of this year and I took the plunge. Largely, I based my purchase on others' reviews, most of which were positive. Last month, I was still skeptical before I saw the Sun Joe in action. Let's face it.....who really wants to grapple with a gigantic pile of leaves? In just over 6 hours, spread over 3 May weekend afternoons, I mulched an entire season's worth (60-70 30-gallon bags). The compression ratio of 16:1 is fairly accurate and the drier the leaves, the greater the ratio. For all considering this purchase, here's how I approached this and lessons I learned: -Assembly is as easy as pie. -Safety is of the essence: safety glasses, long pants, head covering. As fast as this machine revs is how much even a tiny particle can hurt when propelled at high speed. -The drier the leaves, the better off you'll be. However, the Sun Joe will still mulch wet leaves-- it's just that the clogging factor gets higher. With dry leaves, there is none. -If you have a large pile, divide the work into smaller sessions. -Give the machine a rest at regular intervals. You don't have to, but why not? If you have wet leaves in the mix, you will have to unclog the machine, anyway.. Also, the shorter the strings get, the less they will mulch. So... you'll have to stop and unclog. -Sticks and twigs are not your friends. Try to make sure they don't find their way into the mulcher. -Replacing the strings can be done in two minutes total, using a pair of needle-nose pliers. For the record, the length of the string is 13". If you run out, you can use regular string-trimmer line. *Personally, I am only on the 4th set, and I finished the entire pile. -Make no mistake that this is not tremendously easier on the back than bagging leaves. In fact, I plan to get a back supporter for this and other repetitive yardwork, but it comes with the territory. -*No more bagging leaves! I used the mulched leaves around tree bases in the back of the property. Like others, I experienced a leg that wouldn't snap into place and it became a nuisance at times. I plan to call Sun Joe for a replacement. Even so, I think that the QA could have been a little better with that. Overall, this is a happy find and it paid for itself already. Cleanup of this magnitude costs in the neighborhood of 400-500 dollars around here.
