Functional but has quality issues

On the positive side, the shredder works very well. The leaves were finely shredded and made great mulch. I was disappointed in how much 'babysitting' the shredder needed. I was expecting to fill the hopper with leaves, turn around to grab another batch and turn back to an empty hopper. Instead, I had to basically keep pushing down until the first batch went through. I eventually learned to gradually trickle in the leaves rather than dump in a load, but the whole process took a lot longer than I thought it would. The reason for the three stars though is poor quality control. Two of the three legs came out of the box defective. There's a button that is supposed to keep the legs attached to the base that was defective on two legs. The unit was fine when it was stationary, but the legs kept falling off every time I needed to move it to a new pile of leaves. Very disappointing. Hopefully I can get SunJoe to send me two new legs for the unit.
