5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Shredder, 1 Oct 2008

By	John Webb "amarshian" (Romney Marsh) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is an excellent shredder. The machine is so much better than the others I have owned.

I claim to be an experienced shredder user - I have had several machines over a good number of years. For me the problems to overcome are blockages when feeding material through (my last shredder, an Alko New Tec 2500R, was dreadful for this), wear on the blades reducing performance, and noise.

In selecting this shredder I took in to account that it was given the thumbs up by Which? in November 2007, and had a very positive write-up on the "fredshed" website, a first-rate source of independent advice. I must endorse what Fred says about keeping the blade sharp:
"Take care with what you put in the shredder and especially do not get ANY soil in it. With the high speed even a small amount of soil acts like an abrasive and quickly blunts the blade."

The machine is the best one I have had. It is well designed and constructed and also very powerful. The blade wears well (if you follow the advice above and also make sure no stones find their way in to the machine) and is a bit cheaper than most brands to replace. It is the quietest machine I have used.....but probably could still annoy the neighbours if run at unsociable hours. The best thing for me is that it is not prone to blocking. If used sensibly, with the help of the wide prodder, you can easily go whole sessions without a blockage.

The collection bag offered as an accessory is not really necessary. A large plastic crate/storage box does just as well in getting the shreddings to the compost heap.

To appreciate this machine you need to have tried some of the others. I recommend it to anyone considering buying a shredder to help control their garden waste.

5.0 out of 5 stars Does the job well, 18 Jul 2008

By	London user (England) - See all my reviews

We bought this following a Which? review saying it was the most efficient garden shredder they had tested - we have not been disappointed. In use it has shredded everything we put into it. Branches up to 4cm were sliced into 1mm chips; leaves were chopped into small pieces. With some smaller branches, particularly green ones, the shredder removed the leaves and left a few twigs about 10cm long, although most were chopped into tiny pieces.

It's not particularly noisy when switched on, but with harder and bigger pieces of wood it was noisier, especially when a bit of wood would rattle around inside the machine before it could be shredded. I didn't feel it would be necessary to wear ear defenders for temporary usage, nor loud enough to feel that the neighbours would complain about the noise. Given that it's almost half the price of Bosch's quiet shredder the HP, this machine is very good value. I would recommend wearing thick gardening gloves as it could snatch branches.

Assembling it took about 5 minutes. This was a matter of attaching the wheels and their frame and working out where the supplied allen key is supposed to be stored.

We also bought the partnering storage bag from Amazon. It's a bit like the blue storage bags Ikea sell at their checkout desks, except this one's a lot more expensive but of a similar quality and maybe a bit bigger.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good, but......., 16 Sep 2008

By	T. Clayton (Lincs, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Excellent tool, does the job well and well worth the money. Easy to use and efficient.

On the down side, after a few uses (say about an hour) the blade was blunt and unless changed the mulcher clogged up quickly. It was used for only light mulching (eg. sweet pea plants, runner bean plants, hedge trimmings), no wood branches above 1 cm. diameter. After I turned the blade over for replacement and it was great for another couple of weeks until that also got blunt causes constant blockages after an hour or two of use. Replacement blades are not cheap, almost 12 pounds each.

On the plus side although the manual states that the blades cannot be resharpened, I nevertheless resharpened mine and they were good for another hour or so.

The only other minor niggle is that blockages were fairly frequent, admittedly I was using a lot of "green" material but if the outlet throat width of the mulcher were a couple of centimeters deeper I think most of these blockages might have been avoided.

Despite these comments I'm delighted with the shredder/mulcher, it makes composting so much more effective.
