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
WORX WG430 Leaf Mulcher, 24 replacement lines, and one universal bag holder.


Tool-free locking system enables easy assembly and storage.

5 out of 5 stars Spins leaves into gold!   May 7, 2010
N. Sutton (Atlanta, GA)
I live on a 3/4 acre lot filled with oak trees. Every year the pile in back gets bigger, and I buy mulch for the garden. Not anymore! I so wish I'd have known about this product years ago! It's very easy to assemble, and changing the string is a snap! Lightweight and easy to move around the yard to where you need it. As long as you are careful to not try to shred sticks, the strings don't need replacing all that often. It went through a huge pile of leaves in less than 30 minutes, and I ended up with 3 wheelbarrows full of mulch! I absolutely love this thing!!


4 out of 5 stars Leaf Shredder   April 27, 2010

Product works fine. Just be prepared to go through some lines unless you really screen the leaves. Any twigs ,small branches you will be replacing the line very frequently. Be glad that the holes where the leaves go through are big because if you get some wet leaves in there with the dry you will have to assist the machine and push the shreddered leaves through by hand. Of course with the machine OFF. Don't buy this machine if you think your not going to do any work, your going to be its assistant and help it work. Its' not maintenance free. I'm going to head to one of those home improvement stores to try and buy some replacement line.


3 out of 5 stars Easy, but slow   April 25, 2010
S. jones (CT United States)
I'm using this machine to mulch leaves to make compost. It's easy to assemble and move. The biggest downside is the flimsiness of the line. It's just an inverted weed whacker and the line is so delicate that you have to load very, very slowly. If there is ANYTHING bigger than a maple leaf, the line will break. In just about 1.5 hours of work, I replaced the line 6 times. It makes mulching a very, very slow process. For me, the quality of the mulch is fine.


4 out of 5 stars Mulcher works well-with larger string   January 17, 2010

5 out of 5 found this review helpful

so my first review ever..., here is the deal, spent plenty of time picking a leaf mulcher as I end up with several truck loads of leaves each year.....the only concern I had was confirmed, but I have a resolution....yes the 2.1 Mil string that came with the mulcher are too small, I picked up a spool of 2.7mil and that works MUCH better. I had to make the holes slightly larger to accept the string, no other issues. Once mulched I add a bit of nitrogen in the form of urea or sulfate of ammonia fertilizer, that gives the mulching the power to digest into excellent compost....KM in California


5 out of 5 stars Flowtron vs. Worx   December 30, 2009
John Barber (Baltimore, MD)
9 out of 9 found this review helpful

I have 5 large oak trees on my property and they produce a mountain of leaves in the fall. It takes years for them to decompose into mulch if simply left in a pile. So after reading about leaf shredders I purchased an 8 amp Flowtron shredder and used it the fall of 2008 and for part of the fall of 2009 when the motor eventually burned out. I then purchased a 13 amp Worx shredder and have been using that since. Here are my observations about both models that may help you decide which to buy.

Both shredders are basically inverted string trimmers with a funnel on top that directs the leaves through the spinning line. With both models you get nicely shredded leaves that turn into good dark mulch when left in a pile for about 6 months. It is a pleasure to be able to reduce a mountain of leaves into a manageable pile of mulch, saving the effort of bagging fall leaves for trash pick up and then buying mulch in the spring. Dry leaves shred faster, but they produce a lot of dust. Damp leaves produce very little dust and go into the mulch pile with some moisture which helps with composting. I prefer using the shredder after a light rain. The Flowtron fits well over a big plastic trash can which is slightly better for managing the shredded leaves. I use a tarp under the Worx which is fine, but I liked the trash can method slightly better. The Flowtron has some features that the Worx does not have, like selecting course to fine shredding, and adjusting the tilt of the bucket. I didn't really use these features and don't miss them on the Worx.

The downside is that these shredders require frequent line changes. The lines snap when they contact anything thicker than a pencil lead and to keep production up I find myself replacing them about every 5 or 10 minutes. I try to pick out the sticks, but inevitably some slip through and snap the lines. The Worx can use a slightly heavier .090 line, but it doesn't last appreciably longer than the .080. The Flowtron has a built-in line storage compartment which is handy since you will be changing lines frequently. The Worx would benefit from a feature like this.

In terms of design and build, the Worx is superior. Its motor is powerful, it is nicely constructed and the power switch is easy to locate and operate with gloves on. Out of the box there is much more assembly time with the Flowtron. The Worx snaps together in a couple of minutes. And for storage, the Worx breaks down nicely to store in a compact space. My experience with my burned-out Flowtron makes me wonder if the 8 amp motor is undersized. I am still working my way through the 2009 leaf pile, but I feel confident that the Worx will get me through this season and many more.
