Leaf Mulchers /Before we begin reviewing the best leaf mulchers (leaf shredders) in 2019, I would like to mention that choosing the best from the rest wasn’t as easy as strolling along the beach. Actually, it was much harder than I had anticipated. This is despite having owned several types and brands over the years. For instance, I came across one that was pretty powerful and well built. However, it was a little bit noisy because of the gas-powered motor. Another was not only well-powered but also very lightweight and portable. However, it was the corded type meaning its use was limited by the cord’s length.
Other things that I had to pay attention to were the weight, size, fuel-type, reliability, maintenance ease, and cost. Listed below are the top 9 best leaves mulchers (leaf shredders) on the market that I believe will deliver excellent service and will last for a long time.
List Of Top Best Leaf Mulchers
Snoe Joe SDJ616 Shredder, 13-Amp
When I first saw the SDJ616 shredder, I couldn’t believe that such a small unit could handle such large volumes of yard waste. In fact, I had to observe it several times for me to conclude that it was actually one of the best leaf mulchers in the market. It boasts of a powerful but silent motor that shreds/mulches leave within minutes. The high speed, together with the good reduction will shrink the debris to a small proportion for easy storage and disposal.

I love the simple design that makes introducing leaves or wood easy as well as the conveniently located waste bag.
