Shreds small branches well

It works for small branches. I haven't gone too near 1 inch diameter, just to be safe.

First, I sort out the branches into small enough pieces, and fairly straight.
(Guess that if they're not straight, they could become trapped).

The 'feeder' is very useful - crucial really. I use it all the time to force the branches down.
Sometimes branches get a bit stuck, but I've always managed to dislodge them with the feeder.
I've never had to open the shredder up and clear it.
It is still ready to run, after about 5 sessions - a sack of branches each time.

It feels like quite a slow process, especially when branches get stuck.
One sack of branches takes quite a long time, including the preparation, trimming & sorting.
You can't just empty a sack in. You've got to feed the branches in carefully.
Perhaps it's because I'm being so careful.

It does turn the branches into compostable shreds.

It's very loud, have to wear ear muffs.
It's a big machine to have to find a place for. It must be kept under shelter.
Would it be less trouble to take the sacks to re-cycling? Not sure.

devoured half a Tree

I bought it not expecting much really..if it was adequate I would have been happy

This thing is GREAT it devoured half of a 10 foot tall and 10 foot wide Buddleia

Reduced it to chips enough to fill 80% of a Green garden bin (UK)
without it I would have been filling the bins for another 4 weeks at least.

Reviews said these things dont like green material but this didnt seem to care and carried on munching away.....it did it fast Too

It dealt with branches easy
but obviously the trunks were too wide for it.......easy to cut up with chainsaw put in bin and the chips filled the gaps

I say goo for it

My shredder and me

Fantastic machine, was going to hire one after major tree pruning but buying was cheaper. Didn't expect it to be as good as it is considering the price but it has chomped its way through dozens of branches of all sizes and saved me the cost of buying mulch and bark for the garden.Read full review

Very good shredder

Excellent product, shredded branches approximately 3/4" diameter. Was very impressive and would not hesitate to recommend it, in fact already have. For the price it is amazing
