Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

These compact quiet shredders offer you the same technical advantages as the large Bosch Quiet Shredders, e.g. strong "High-Power" motors and comfortable quiet shredding with only 84 dB(A)*. However, they feature particularly low weight and a unique spiral cutting mechanism. The essential factor for shredding is motor power. For this reason, all Bosch Quiet shredders have high-torque "High-Power" motors. They will shred your woody garden waste at only 84 dB(A), much more quietly than conventional blade shredders, which is why they have been awarded the "Blue Angel" environmental mark. They automatically draw in and shred branches into pieces optimal for composting. Which Bosch Quiet Shredder you choose will largely depend on the size of your garden and the thickness of the accumulating branches and shrubbery.

Nature gives back whatever your garden needs, as well as giving you the pleasure of nurturing growth with your own hands. Fresh, brown earth is the raw material of the garden, and you can make it yourself with a Bosch Quiet Shredder. The AXT 2000 HP has a unique spiral cutting mechanism that automatically draws in branches up to 38mm thick, with up to 115 kg/h material throughput.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, impressive bit of kit., 1 Sep 2005
This review is from: Bosch AXT 2000 HP Silent Garden Shredder (DIY & Tools)
This is the first shredder I've ever owned so it's a bit difficult to make objective comparisons. However, I'm very impressed so far. 'Silent' is a bit of an exaggeration unless you are stone deaf but compared to other shredders I've heard it is quite quiet and can be used in a built up area without too much impact on the neighbours. Certainly a lot quieter than those mowers that only seem to work on Sunday mornings!!
'Shredder' is also a bit of a misnomer. It 'chunks' rather than shreds the woody elements into 2cm pieces which, I guess, will lengthen the rotting process a little. Overall I'm really pleased with my "Bosch Quiet Branch Chunker" its very sturdy and looks like it will last for years. (See http://www.fredshed.co.uk/homepage.htm for further rave reviews)

3.0 out of 5 stars The best of a bad bunch, 15 Feb 2005
This review is from: Bosch AXT 2000 HP Silent Garden Shredder (DIY & Tools)
After trying nearly all the sub-£200 shredders on the market, the Bosch AXT 2000HP comes out as the best of a bad bunch. You get what you pay for with shredders and the Bosch is around the most expensive.

It is one of the quietest - far less noisy than impact shredders which use a high speed spinning disk cutter. You can happily use the Bosch on a Sunday without disturbing the neighbours and ear defenders are not necessary. The Bosch is not prone to blocking up as easily as others and the motor is powerful enough to shred almost anything that will fit down the feed slot. The helical screw action, like a food mincer, produces a relatively fine mulch for composting or mulching. This speeds composting time to weeks rather than months. Other quiet shredding systems on the market use intermeshing gears which, while powerful, produce a much coarser mulch.

The first Bosch I tried had to be returned for replacement almost immediately because the plastic casing broke on the feed slot. This was because a branch being shredded was slightly too thick at a knot, and cracked the case as it was pulled through. This is symptomatic of all plastic cased shredders - especially in winter when plastic gets brittle. The Bosch feed slot is also too narrow. An alternative attachment would be a good idea, a tall conical feed shoot like on the Viking and Lawn Flit shredders.

On both the Bosch shredders I have used, the supplied attachments to push material through the feed slot were faulty. They are simple a length of metal rod, bend at 90 degrees at one end and screwed into a handle at the other. They were both screwed in too loose which made the metal rods slightly too long and able to be pulled into the helical screw. Very dangerous and likely to ruin the shredder.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pet Pleaser!, 17 Aug 2005
This review is from: Bosch AXT 2000 HP Silent Garden Shredder (DIY & Tools)
I have never had a shredder before so I can't compare mine with anything. However, I am most impressed with my Bosch AXT2000HP. It seems able to shred almost anything I put in it - it can't do VERY big branches, but then I don't expect it to. We all have our limits! It is fast and reduces the branches to lovely little pieces about half an inch long, which seem to rot down quickly in the compost bin. One thing that surprised me was the noise, or rather lack of it. Any cat owners out there will know how panicked most cats get at the sound of noisy domestic appliances. Well, my most nervous cat wasn't frightened by the shredder at all. She just tucked herself up about 2 metres away from it and watched it working with great interest. (The other cats wandered off, equally unbothered.) Which shows how quiet it must be!
All in all, I would say that this is a wonderful purchase, well able to cope with anything you might give it to do, and invaluable in a small to medium garden with lots of small tree prunings to dispose of.
