Thanks Kath and Lakelady for your input on the shredders. After waffling for about an hour I went with the new Flowtron model from Amazon because I like the variable tipping angle base. I should have ordered one much earlier this fall, because I have a feeling that even if it arrives by the middle of next week, I likely won't get a chance to use it this year because we're shortly due to have snow or rain to wet down the leaves.
