Nice score , if you keep it in decent shape you will never lose money on it . I have found with mine that sticks can get lodged in the hose from the deck to the mulcher . When that happens the hose will quickly clog .
Also pick up the leaves when they are dry as they mulch much easier and finer . Finally start mulching as the leaves are falling vs when they have all fallen . When you have 6-12 inches of leaves it forms a tidal wave coming over the front of the deck . Regardless of how you set the deck height . Other than those few things it's a great tool .
