    • This takes some pretty irregular stuff--Watch it on this video

The media could not be loaded. In brief: * Branches do not need to be perfectly straight or free of smaller branches (see video) as long as the smaller stuff can bend enough to get into and through the slot. * This is NOT made for shredding piles of leaves, any green leaves, or wet leaves, but it might shred dry brittle leaves. ;~) * Designed for safety, but hearing protection, gloves, goggles and maybe a dust mask are worthwhile precautions. * Needs to be moved once the chip pile reaches the bottom of the outlet. :~0 * As usual, "some assembly is required", which I did not find difficult. Details: This thing has a slot in the top which makes it possible to get branches in that have smaller, flexible branches sticking out, or short stubs of non-flexible branches. This makes it possible to shred some stuff that would not go into the machines with just a small round or square "chute". The slot is covered by a set of rubber flaps which I assume are intended to keep chips from flying out the top of the machine, but after a couple hours of use these flaps become bent downward (see photos) and don't cover the slot as well so stuff is a bit more likely to get out. The flaps also make it more difficult to pull non-smooth branches back out of the machine if they won't go through. The flaps also make it impossible to "pour" leaves into the machine. And the slot is too small to get many leaves through at a time even if you could dump them in. I made a video to give you a close-up view of what sort of irregular stuff you can shove into this thing. In the first segment I'm shredding up the small stuff from an evergreen shrub I cut down a few months earlier with my B&D pole saw and some black walnut branches that were cut long ago, so this is all dry stuff. For your entertainment at the end of that segment (about 2.5 minutes in) you get to watch me get a walnut branch that was a bit too "irregular" hung up where it would not go through the lower slot into the blades. That segment ends there because the camera battery died, but you didn't need to watch me open the thing up to pull the branch out anyway. In the second segment I am shredding some maple branches & "burning bush" trimmings that have only been lying around for a week or 2. As you can see there are green leaves hanging on yet, so this is an example of how it works on stuff that is not dried out. At the very end you can see the pushing paddle in action as I shove some leaves & small stuff through the slot. I uploaded a closeup photo of the chip pile that shows leaves & small twigs NOT chopped up much. After I shut the camera off I continued shredding for another 20 minutes or so until I noticed the machine sounding "muffled" or bogging down a bit. So I shut it off & opened it up and in doing so I realized that the chip pile had long ago reached the bottom of the outlet chute! I included a photo to show you how the machine had gotten filled with chips because the chute was blocked. Don't do that! Remember to move the machine when the pile reaches the bottom of the outlet. ;~) I was doing that before, I just didn't pay attention that time. Several weeks later I ran some black walnut branches through that had been lying around for a couple weeks and had been rained on the night before, so there were soggy wet leaves. Soggy wet leaves are worse than green leaves; they plug up the inlet & make the thing sound like it's bogging down. I think that's just a muffling effect though; it didn't seem to affect how it ate the branches I shoved through the leaves. As you can see, branches do not need to be perfectly straight in order to feed them in. And you can get some pretty irregular stuff in there as long as it is flexible enough or doesn't have rigid stubs sticking out too far; that last branch in the first segment just wasn't flexible & had that one fork sticking out too far. ;~) A couple times in the video you see me feed the larger stuff in bursts, pulling it up to let the machine rev back up periodically. Other reviewers have recommended that to prevent it from bogging down. I have been playing it safe instead of testing to see what happens if I just let it go; maybe someday I'll test that. Safety features: Rubber flaps over the opening to keep chips from flying out. The blades are about 8 inches below the top of the unit so it is essentially impossible for an adult to get a hand into the blades, but the blades do knock branches around & that can get you some bruises, and a "just the right size" child might be able to get a hand down there. The thing has a circuit breaker that shuts it off when the motor gets overloaded due to a jam or other problem. There is an interlock connection that forces you to have the machine closed up in order to run. I included a photo of this and the screw that holds the machine closed. The metal tab & screw are both long, leading many people to complain about how long it takes to unscrew & open the machine. I think they could be shorter if they were at the same angle. Other observations, tips: I jammed the thing after the first 5 minutes of use (causing the motor to stop), but it was no problem clearing it. The blades are mounted on a plastic disc and they stick above the surface of the disc a small fraction of an inch. This determines the thickness of the chips the machine produces. As a result of this necessary feature, there is a gap between the disc and the metal frame. Small twigs, etc. can be dragged under the metal frame by the disc without being cut by the blades, so they tend to go through unscathed. This cannot be avoided. There are also a couple slots in that disc (see photos) which can grab twigs & drag them under the metal frame when there is no blade in sight to cut it off. When I jammed the thing in the first 5 minutes it was because a twig that was not quite small enough to fit in the gap got dragged in & stuck there. I suspect it had gotten dragged in by one of those slots & wedged in & stopped the motor before a blade got to it. I would have expected this to be direct-drive with the blades directly connected to the motor but it is not. There is a belt in the parts list & you can see that the blades are clearly offset from the motor when you look at it with the top open. Whenever I use this or my AC powered chain saw I plug my 12 gauge extension cord into the socket directly below the breaker panel in the garage. I do this to control the length of wiring between the breaker & the machine. If I pick the socket closest to where I am working I don't know exactly how much wiring there is leading to the machine and it might be too long--causing too much of a voltage drop while the machine is running. I have had this for a year now, used it for maybe 5 hours, and have not felt a need to rotate or sharpen the blades. I recommend opening the thing up after every use just to see if stuff has accumulated inside or if something looks bad, and to clean it out. The only problem I had with assembly is that in order to get the screw holes to line up where the body attaches to the legs I had to turn the thing over & tap/pound the legs into the plastic with a rubber mallet. ... show more

    • Exceptional for its cost
After reading the reviews for all of the electrically powered chippers, I chose this one and am very happy with it. I wanted one that was electric because I hate dealing with small gas engines that (like me) get harder to start as they age. I am only going to be using it in my yard and already have a long heavy duty extension cord to use with hedge trimmers, leaf blower, etc. Assembly is simple. All you must do is attach the wheels to the legs and attach the legs to the shredder. They supply a 1/2 inch wrench, but you will need pliers or another wrench to hold the nut on the other end of the axle as you tighten. A phillips screw driver is needed for the 2 screws that secure the legs to the body. I took me 5 minutes, including reading the directions afterwards to make sure I didn't miss something. I am amazed that the this little beast chews up almost anything I feed it, and it cost less to buy that I would have likely spent to rent a large chipper. It is slower and takes a bit longer than large chippers, but I didn't feel rushed to work feverishly to get finished so I can return a rental to avoid being charged for another day. Shreds green twigs with leaves well : If you want to shred up leaves raked from your lawn in the fall, this is not the device for the job. Get one of the shredders that is just for leaves and looks like a bucket on legs. That said, I had a huge pile of prunings from overgrown boxwoods, privet, holly, etc. The feed opening on this shredder has a large hole that narrows to a slot on one side. This allowed me to insert a big handful of prunings in the large hole, and it would then pull the leafy twigged end through the narrower slot. It shredded about half of the leaves to tiny bits as it chewed up the twigs, and almost all the green leaves where stripped from the twigs and chewed up somewhat. It did a great job of chewing up the small green twigs, which is a job that large rented shredders I have used before failed to do nearly as well. Larger hardwood sticks and branches: In addition to the shrubbery prunings of 1 to 2 feet in length, I had an even larger pile of limbs cut from some hardwood trees where I had cut off many low hanging branches. It quickly chewed through green or dead limbs from ash, hickory, maple, and oak trees. I had read reviews where others noted that all of these electrical chippers have difficulty with large knots or forks. With small limbs that were flexible, the forks got through without any problems, but with larger dry limbs that were forked, I had 2 jams before I got a feel for what would go through and what I needed to break into first. That said, I was amazed at how easy it was to clear the jams, which only took a moment before I was back at work. Many of the limbs I had were from Osange Orange (aka Hedge Apples) trees. The wood from these trees is one of the most dense and tough of any tree in North America. It is harder than Hickory or Mesquite for example. The only limbs that the chipper had any difficulty with were these Osange Orange trees. If the limbs were an inch or less in diameter, it chewed them up without a problem. Between 1 inch and its max of 1.5 inches, it had some difficulty if the limb was dry and hard. Fresh limbs or ones that were old enough they were brittle would get chipped up if fit through the 1.5 inch feed opening. The hardest dry limbs were a bit harder for it to chip up. For most bare limbs and twigs, the chipper and gravity pulled the limb down and through the device, but with the really hardest ones, I had to hold the limb tightly and push it through, which was tiring since they vibrated and shook with some force. Almost everything that was too large for the chipper, I had already cut into 1 foot lengths and stacked to save for my patio firepit when cool weather returns. My only complaint with the device is a minor one. Because of the shape and position of the legs and discharge shoot, there is not quite enough room to fit a large plastic tote (like RubberMaid or similar). I was able to tilt one and get it to fit under the discharge somewhat, but I had to empty the tote when it got about half full. I considered ways that I might cut slots in the tote container so it would fit, but I couldn't think of a way that wouldn't leave the container too floppy to carry when full. Since these sized plastic totes are so common, it was silly that they didn't make the legs a few inches longer so one of these would fit under the discharge. I have a pile of limbs nearly as big as my house and only got a quarter way through it today. When I go back to finish, I'm going to skip the tote container and spread out a tarp under the chipper instead, so that I can scoop up the chips more easily afterwards. In just a short while after it was delivered, I had reduced a pile that was larger than 2 SUVs down to fill my new "Soil Machine PRO Compost Bin". Since I had a mix of leafy green twigs and heavier wooden limbs, the mixture was a perfect blend for compost. The texture and size of the particles output varies depending upon the limb's density. The hardest dry limbs produced small sawdust like bits,while softer green limbs produce thin slices. I'm a long time composter, and I could not have ask for a more perfect blend of particle sizes. I prefer a mix that is a bit "chunky' rather than all of the wood being too finely ground up into dust. The particles sizes are about the same as is sold in bags as "soil amendments". ... show more

This chops up the branches well and some small twigs made it through without being chopped at all, I didn’t mind that, I just wanted to make the big sticks small for easy disposal and it did it perfectly! You can’t use it for a decorative mulch and again I never planned on that. For reference that rather large pile of branches fit into 4 loads of that 20 gallon storage container and it was never full when I dumped it. Pretty impressive how small it chipped the branches up. Only one hard wood branch not quite an inch think didn’t want to go through. It took approximately an hour and a half to get through that pile. Only complaint it I wish the machine was slightly taller so you didn’t have to keep push the wood chips to the sides of the container you’re filling. I could have placed it on something to remedy that. Otherwise, for the money the thing worked as it should. Both wet and dry branches made it through with relative ease. Not sure why it says quiet running. Sure, when it doesn’t have a stick running through it it’s quiet. But the neighbors wouldn’t enjoy you operating this thing at 6 in the morning. ... show more
