Actually it works better than expected. I added the 8" Renegade blade. With the blade it cuts through 1 - 2 inch woody stalks easily. Larger woody branches and trees require more than one pass but really no issue considering the size of this machine. It is extremely light. The grips and harness are comfortable. I cleared about an acre with this cutter that was a combo of small trees 15' or so high, brush, and grass with zero issues. It makes a nice string trimmer too. I have zero regrets or complaints with this cutter. I tend to push it hard. Because it is so light and quiet, fatigue isn't a problem even after using it for more than 6 hours straight.

I had a different cutter that I used the shoestring cutter for hashbrowns, zucchini & other things. I find I have to use the next cutter up for all my cutting with this new one. The shoestring cutter cuts too fine.

We have not been able to do this... it cuts ok, not great, so cutting a checkerboard in the lawn would be tough -- again, our experience.

I didn't have to cut mine but by the material that it is made of a simple hacksaw should be able to cut it. It should be simple enough to modify if needed. Hope it does the job for you.

The mulching kit works great. You'll only have to rake if you have a ton of leaves, and even then I think you can just leave them. The leaves get chopped up pretty finely.

Yes, definitely. I had never cut a mat before purchasing this kit, and I had no problems. The directions it comes with were fairly simple and straightforward. I would recommend using one of the mats it comes with as a "practice" mat for your first attempt, however. :-)

I haven't used that particular feature a great deal, but I haven't had any trouble with it. For me, it's been a matter of getting the right angle on what you're trying to cut. Experiment with different angles and grips.

I used my CMM1000 to shred leaves this year. Raked them into 4" to 6" high piles, went over the piles with the mower with collection bag attached. Then raked 4" to 6" high piles again, and mowed over them a second time. Any leaves remaining after two passes were raked up the old-fashioned way :-)The bag fills up fairly quickly, so I had my wheelbarrow nearby and just kept dumping the shredded leaves from the bag into it. Had to keep making sure the chute between the blade and the collection bag was kept clear of debris too.I thought it worked pretty well.

I used it on a yam (sweet potato) and it worked fine. I did use a glove to hold it so I wouldn't cut myself. Cut a piece off a rounded veggie so it "sits" more firmly on your cutting board. The first slice of the peeler was hard but it got progressively easier.

I haven't, but in cutting other vegetables, my guess would be a store-bought look if you used this knife to pickle.

What is the actual problem? Is it not cutting at all? Mine had a protective sticker on the back blade when I received it. It also only works with the cutters pointed down into the vegetable. I use a fork to hold the veggie down and protect my fingers. Not sure what else to suggest without knowing what is happening.

I have not done those veggies yet but I am amazed it cuts and liquifies unpeeled apple pieces and pineapple chunks. I'm going to the grocery today and get some veggies to try it but I have no expectations it will not work. QVC had or has a great buy on another version of the brand and product. You might check it out...but I just love my Ninja so far.Just got back from grocery and made a veggie smoothy. Diced peppers, celery hearts, cilantro, kale, spinach and 1/2 banana (necessary) 1/2 large tomato. Perfect. Pulverized and made into a smoothy depending on how much water you put in it. I used about 1/2 c because of the tomato. (one floret of Broccoli. I hear go lite on Broccoli additions) I have not done those veggies yet but I am amazed it cuts and liquifies unpeeled apple pieces and pineapple chunks.

Never tried it. Can't imagine why it wouldn't still work excellently if trimmed a bit.

Never tried it. Not sure if it would work very well. I have used a sawzall before. It really does not make that much of a mess.

I have been wondering the same thing I imagine you would have to cut it to the desired length with a grinder or saw that would cut it without damaging it.

I have not tried, although I would think that this blade would not work. You really need a wire whisk to do that properly.
