Is this a good shredder for just leaves?

I have small leaves from live oak and eucalyptus. I find or small things, it pretty much spits them out the way they came in. If you expect pieces of about 3/4" output, you'll be okay.

Yes. I have used it for leaves, small twigs and branches. I have run branches up to about 3/4 of an inch. It is very easy to clear if it clogs.

Although I have not specifically used this chipper for leaves alone, the design of the blade leads to me say no, this would not work well for leaves. Alternatively, I own and recommend this item, also available at amazon: http://amzn.to/1kDlLyf

NO. Leaves just bog it down and cause it to trip the external circuit breaker. It does, how ever, will shred the leaves that are on the limb you are shredding. That way you do not have to pluck the leaves off the limb. Hope this helped.

I doubt it highly. Good for saw dust or minor leaves. Nothing more than that.

YES it will shred it, However, you must load the machine lightly with live tree branches, plants, brush and or fruits or it will clog. Each year, I shred whatever is left in the garden (tomatos, onions, and other foods) and it is ripped/shredded. I normally wait till these items die before shredding these items because the machine then gets all wet inside which helps rust to take hold and i want the machine to last longer. So I usually wait till things are dried up and dead before i shred them. Remember you cannot clean or dry the inside of the machine so its always best to shred dry/dead items. I have also shredded 4 inch 2x4 pieces and it chops them up also but beware if you do that because it will spit pieces out.

It will shread a lot of leaves, but you have to pace yourself. Also, If you are going to shred Palm Fronds you want to use the branch chipper, remove the leaflets and split them up into 3-4 parts (depending on size of frond), roll up and feed the leaflets through gradually, then finally feed the rest through.

I didn't use the Presto 02910 SaladShooter to shred any coconut, but I seriously doubt it's capable of doing so. The shredder is very flimsy.

I have it attached to a hose that feeds the shredded leaves directly into a bag. Works fine. Big leaves - no problem. It shreds small sticks too. Very happy with the product

Yes it does that very well. leaves and grass get pulled in very easily. you can even vacuum cut grass over gravel, the gravel is to heavy but it pulls leaves and grass up. cleaning up grass was what I used mine for the most.

I posted just last year. For the yard I have it works pretty well. Hedge trimmings and leaves. I like it because it is easy to use and I didn't expect it to be like a gas shredder. I have had a bigger gas shredder so I knew about what I needed for this yard.

This is really a lightweight unit designed for small yards. It does a decent job with small amounts of leaves although I have not used it yet or grass clipping,I doubt that it would be able to used in a sizable way for yard clippings unless the area was very small. Up north we have not yet had to cut the grass yet. When we do...I can try it and let you know.

Nope. This is a tiny blower for small, smooth surfaces - I.E. work benches, garage floors, or maybe patios, decks and sidewalks. If you want to try a rechargeable blower for a "great amount of leaves on a yard" then get one of the larger Makita 36 volt blowers made for lawns. And unless your leaf filled yard is really small, I personally wouldn't settle for anything less than a gas blower or a corded electric. $.02

I love mine, but we don't have a lot of leaves. It picks up what leaves we do have, and the sand. Just make sure you clean it after every use.

It picked up all the dried leaves that I could find. For me it worked just fine. It should be able to do the same for you.

no, but I use this to shred leaves to make my own compost. Use your safety equipment!

It works pretty well for leaf blowing. It works better on concrete blowing the dust off and I use it in my shop to keep the floors clean, great for that. I use it for leaves also. it's an all around blower.

I don't really have any leaves. But id say if you wanted decent blowing power go with a gas blower. You want something strong enough to move leaves when wet and I can guarantee this blower won't. I use this to clear grass clippings and that's about all.

Have not used it for shredding papers as I have a shredder and use the paper from the shredder for composting.
