Really chews through the garden waste. Relentless and you'll need a break before it does. Very sturdy and difficult to clog up (not impossible obviously and easily cleared when you do) Pretty easy to set up - though setting the blade was something I hadn't factored in but not too hard. Quite a lot of fun to use.
Made light work of large conifer, took inch thick branches with no problem . Make a little noise but not enough to annoy the neighbour when using it for hour or so .
