It's slow and the basket could be bigger as lots of reviewers have correctly pointed out. Some people say it topples over easily when moving - that can be true, but you just have to use the handholds correctly and not be too impatient. Otherwise it's pretty good. Saves a lot of time if like me you had to cut all your branches manually and then put in bags to get in brown bin or take to tip. Now I shred it and can even compost it. Produces smallish chips of branches and you get a decent, compact mass which certainly makes it easier if you're going to the tip. Saved me a lot of time and looks solid enough for years of reliable usage.

Great shredder. Does exactly what its sold to do. It arrived quickly and was the best price I could find delivered to Ireland. As per a number of other reviews it did arrive with a broken wheel. However, a replacement was sent out no bother from Tooled up.

Excellent machine. Strong safety features. Powerful chipper and shredder. Does chip 45mm timber. Does shred ivy, laurel, honeysuckle etc. Not afraid of hard work at all.

Works well, chomps through all I have given it. A few wood chunks tend to get caught in centre of turbine that can be cleared at the end of a session. Overall well pleased

Bought this to help clear a jungle pertaining to be a garden and so glad we did. It has been a huge help in getting masses of shrubbery into bin bags to take to the dump. I'd say one full basket underneath in a big bag is heavy enough so no point having a bigger bucket. Including Virginia Creeper, some sort of laurel, huge pyracantha, hawthorn hedge, tree branches, buddleia, ivy. A professional gardener neighbour here was really impressed with how easy it was to use and how well it shredded without jamming. Apparently he has a large petrol shredder which is constantly jamming. We have been using it almost constantly for 8-10 hours per day for four days and it has jammed about three times mainly from trying to push too much through. Dead easy to either reverse to unjam or lift up to retrieve stuck matter with gloves on and care due to how sharp the blades are. He also commented on how good the resulting shredding would be for composting as cuts up small. It was out of stock when ordered but said it would be back in two days later. Risked it and chose pick up in store. Surprisingly it was in store waiting on the day it said it would be back in stock.

At the present time I have only used the machine twice. The first time, I used it to shred existing wood that I had already cut into two-inch lengths manually and composted. It did the job, but the short lengths could lie sideways in the machine and therefore not chop properly. Also, being mixed with compost, the machine was prone to clog. I followed the advice, which is, if it starts to clog, to put branches through, which clear the blockage. On the second occasion I used it for tomato plants and broad bean stems which, again, are quite soft woods. These went through the machine very well and chopped properly. Once the leaves have fallen off the trees, I will be putting proper branches through the machine, but I do not expect to have any problems with it when it is used for its true purpose, which is chipping of green branches.
