Thanks Cliff for the video. My $1K mulcher will not shred soft leaves - it is terribly ineffectual for this kind of material. I probably will sell it and obtain one of these units. What I would like to see is a video of the maintenance of the Ryobi Mulcher including sharpening of the blades that can be very difficult with some units. Keep up the great videos!
Hi Stephen, I am glad you are finding these videos helpful. Regarding the sharpening of the Ryobi blades you do it by the side screw knob. You just screw it in until you hear a metallic noise then back off about a 1mm and its done. I have decided to do another video covering this feature of the machine in the coming days s look out for it. Cliff
Thanks for this video! Exactly what I was wondering about. Looking at the way this went I'm thinking our lawnmower makes faster work of shredding leaves, food scraps, long blade grasses etc.
I'm looking at this as soon as funds allow,as my marketplace one has crapped itself. I think for the soft stuff I'll continue to use the mower & use this Ryobi for branches. Thanks 👍🙃
You wont be disappointed, since I made that video I have used it on so manny different projects and am using it right now mulch the canopy of a tree we had to remove. No matter what I through at it it just keeps giving. Thanks for watching my video.
Great little videos, thanks! Little question - do you like how small the end product is? Have you ever tried re-processing the mulch to get it smaller? Thanks!
I actually like the size of the mulch that comes out of it and so have not tried that. Something I may consider next time I fire it up. I am glad younlike the videos.
Hi Cliff Ian here awesome videos on this mulcher but I have a question I have bird of paradise plants hibiscus also chipachina plant I ised to have problems with constant foul ups on the blade on a past briggs and straton cox mulcher .These are water based plants that are wet on the inside how do you think this mulcher will compare ?Is there any way of doing a trial run on these sort of plants please?
Hi Ian good question, I will do a test in the next couple of weeks and then put the video up. This is what I love about RUclips helping other people solve their problems and finding videos that help me. Glad you like my work. Cliff
@@clensmedia6514 Instead of doubling down and telling people that kind of behavior is perfectly safe ("with this machine"), why not recognize the problem was you repeatedly placed the pusher out of reach? You kept putting it on the ground or off to the side on the table, out of reach. Repeatedly.
@@GoatZilla You are correct, in hind site that was a shortlisted comment by me, the number one rule should be safety and I trivialised it. On reflection thinking about why I wrote what I did I fell Into the trap of simply thinking the design is so good and the blades are so far down there is no way I could get caught up. But in reality something as trivial as getting my fingers or hand caught on a branch as it is being pulled in can do a lot of damage, so thank you for pointing out my mistake in this message, well done.
Great video. Love that you've followed up on viewers questions. The man, the legend. Thank you for this.
Thank you for you kind comments I appreciate it very much.

It looks to do the Lettuce pretty well. Have you tried, Cucumber, tomato, capsicum, carrot, cheese and croutons???
Hi Geoff no I haven’t tried it with those items, not a bad idea i may try those soon.

I like how you push your fingers in there.
I know not a good look but with this machine perfectly safe
