Branch thickness and the power to feed it · review
The best-known leaf mulcher: 13 amps, an 11:1 ratio and 7,480 ratings. It uses line, not blades, so it is for leaves only.
WORX says it reduces 11 bags to 1 and handles up to 53 gallons a minute. It is simple to set up and easy to store.
It is no chipper. Its line cuts leaves, not wood.
Wear eye and hearing protection, feed material only with the supplied push stick or paddle, and never reach into the hopper. The manual sets the limit on what the machine can take.
Same section, nearest cost — what else that money buys.

The live figure beside a product went and asked the shop for it the moment this page opened; any amount written into the text has not moved since the sentence was drafted, and it is the first of the two that counts.
