Once the yard is clean and tidy, you can use the fresh mulch in the bag for your compost pile or your plantings, saving money on store-bought bags of mulch and landfill fees.

Great when it runs
Starts up cold with one pull. However, when I turn off to empty bag or refuel, I will nor re-start. I have to wait until it is cold again, then I starts on one pull. I have located a service facility and will get it there soon.
Functionally, when running it's great! Cuts branches like butter and has a strong suction. easy to push once you have the wheel height adjusted. Overall build feels solid. I'm hoping the starting problem can be diagnosed.
Delivery was a pain. I had to wait all afternoon using vacation time as the driver could not find my house, then I had to trundle it one block out of the back of a 60 foot semi that the driver did not want to pull in front of my house because of its size. 50 bucks for lift gate delivery?!? Make sure you have a good dolly! What happened to UPS here?
CSD RESPONDS: This unit ships by freight because it weighs more than UPS allows.
If you click on the Lift Gate Service link you will see: ""Have Your Chipper Shredder Unloaded Safely- Lift Gate Service for Your Chipper Shredder
Chain Saws Direct gives you the option to order "Lift Gate Service" on all chipper shredders that weigh more than 100 lbs.
The fee for this optional service is $50.
Due to the weight of these chipper shredders, they cannot be shipped via ground shipping.
Instead, they are shipped via semi-trucks, which are designed to unload products at loading docks and freight terminals.
If you have a loading dock or forklift, you do NOT need lift gate service.
If you are a residential customer, you must have AT LEAST 2-4 able-bodied people present to unload the chipper shredder.
While some truck drivers are kind enough to help, they are not required to help you lift the products.
If you do not have the equipment or manpower, you can order a special truck equipped with a hydraulic lift to safely lower the product from the truck to the ground."

Pricing
What happened to the $499? As soon as I selected this site, it jumped to $599. So much for no tax and no shipping...
CSD RESPONDS: You may have accessed a page cached by the search engine you selected, that showed a previous price. Once you selected the site, you were taken to a current page with the current price.
Everyone except Illinois residents will not pay tax; and shipping is still free; pricing changes as the manufacturers raise or lower what they charge us.

Great
I hate doing leaves and this saved me alot of time. Strong suction and large bag.
Grinds the leaves up a little bit and saves some space. Didn't use the hose very much, it sucks up the dirt and mulch from the flower beds, I found it easier the blow the leaves out of the beds on the grass then suck them up.
