Does this mower mulch or discharge only?

Mulching and side-discharge are apples and oranges. However, I think that the following will answer your question: It comes with a side discharge chute. It DOES NOT Come with a panel to close the side discharge.

the Yard Machine has three heights by adjusting the wheels. It cuts and mulches very well.

Just discharge only. Very basic mower. Good for a small yard. You must un-bolt wheels to adjust height, could be an issue. Works fine for me.

It is side discharge only: it has no mulching kit or attached clippings collection bag. jp

Discharge only. This is my second purchase of this mower. I needed a second because of a second property. It is easy to use and this new model is an improvement over the first. It is light and simple to operate. I use it for trimming before I jump on my rider.

Hi EricG, I tend to keep in in mulch mode...it collects pretty well, though not so good with damp grass. Never tried the side action, as prefer to collect the cuttings. Cuts better than the original, however, IMO.

Hello, On installing the mulch cover you can just leave your discharge chute on and install the mulch cover under it. Makes it fast and easy. Thank, CF

I use the mower without the bag to mulch for regular weekly mowing. You can use either of the 2 settings while mulching.

Hi Valerie, the Earthwise electric mower I have is the same style, but earlier and without a mulcher. I have a feeling that the addition of the mulcher would have something to do with the battery warranty. Wish I could help further. Linda

I have not used this mower in any other mode beside mulching. The mower does not look like it is designed for side discharge. The mower is made for a rear bagger. I am not sure if changing the blade would help with a clogging problem. I know mowing wet grass can clog up a mower.Brent McKittrick

Mulch is always better. It returns the nutrients from the cut grass back to the soil. When the. Over is set to Mulch it cuts grass much finer than when you discharge

It is angled downward so it discharges the clippings not more than 18" from the mower. It is pretty much in an even row. It doesn't blow it straight out.

We absolutely love the mower- it's the best we ever had. As for mulching, I cannot comment on that as we bag everything it picks up and put it in a mulch pile in the corner of our yard, so never really used it as a mulching mower. As a bagging mower it works fine, vacuuming up even small stuff.

not that I have noticed. It sits in my garage, but seems to only discharge when I attach something.

Just as would happen with a rotary mower you'll get clumping. This mower can be adjusted to determine how smooth or rough the reel strikes the bar. The only problems I've noticed is tall erect weeds. I have a mixture of bahia, cogan grass, rye grass. I normally don't mow when the grass is wet but I've not had any problems when I have.

It does mulch leaves well... Unfortunately it has the plastic blades (as do most of the blower/mulchers) so you want to avoid sticks. It also does not do well with wet leaves, but none of them do. Make sure you give the engine a rest if you feel it getting warm or if the turbine starts whining. It is a a good idea to give it a rest every hour or else the bearings can burn out. Our lawn person used our last blower/mulcher to blow the autumn leaves into 4 huge piles, and then sat on the ground and fed the leaves into the the tube until the engine burned up. It took 4 hours to do it, but you get the picture. One word of precaution... this unit is EXTREMELY HEAVY, so if you don't have strong arms your going to be sore after an hour of use.

Yes it does mulch. The bag it a bit small but the unit has great suction power. The unit overall is a bit big but does the job.

Pat, There's no real trick just be sure that small turned up slots are on the top of the blade and everything else will fall into place. If you have a deflector to cover the grass discharge it will greatly improve the performance of the cut & mulch.

This style of mower does not create suction like a rotary mower and therefore will not pick up leaves. The cutting action is created by the rotating blade contacting the straight blade in the back. Great for cutting a consistent heigth grass.

The mower comes with a two plastic parts: a side discharge chute and a mulching plug. You install one or the other over the hole in the metal guard ring depending on what mode you want. The mulching plug just covers the hole so grass clippings can no longer escape from the side. The manual does not say you have to change the blade if you want mulching mode.
