Features of the Bosch AXT 2200 Rapid
 | Bosch ‘Powerdrive’: giving you maximum power With its uniquely designed motor running at 3650rpm, the AXT 2200 Rapid is lighter and faster than most other shredders available on the market today. The high speed 2200 watt motor and innovative gear set work together to give a higher speed/torque ratio than is usual with this style of shredder. When the going gets tough, the torque and speed are maintained, allowing for rapid throughput of green garden debris. |
| Precision blade The double sided, laser-cut precision blade delivers approximately 7 times more cutting power than conventional blade shredders, thanks to the 2200 watt Powerdrive motor. The blade also delivers a fine material throughput of up to 90 kg/h with up to 40mm cutting capacity. You can now turn your garden debris into something useful like mulch or compost faster and easier. |  |
 | Easy to use The AXT 2200 Rapid shredder is extremely easy to assemble. It has wheels for convenience and, weighing only 12kg, it is easy to move. It comes with a large capacity hopper and a full-width practical plunger for increased material throughput. |

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.

Amazon Verified Purchase
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.

Bosch AXT Rapid 2200 - Electric Shredder
Some quick notes for a purchaser to consider: The instructions are extremely basic with pictures only. Any text is mainly devoted to common sense electrical safety. Build quality is adequate for the job. On lightweight hedge cuttings (and no doubt many other varieties of garden waste) it worked fine. Only small amounts can be put through at a time. The 'resulted trimmings' were small. After about an hours use it started to jam (easy to open and clear) because the blade was blunt already. This is very much the downside of the shredder. It is only suitable for extremely light use with absolute minimal amounts of waste to shred, unless you wish to purchase replacement blades by the dozen. It would have been a good purchase had it not been for this and I would recommend choosing a model which can cope with at least average amounts of shredding before having to purchase any spares or 'consumable items'. This one is a waste of money with an expensive on going running cost.
FOOTNOTE: I telephoned Bosch to comment on the short life of the blade. They insisted the shredder was taken to our nearest dealer who, luckily was just up the road. It was thought a complimentary new blade would be supplied. The dealer was told to return the whole machine back to Bosch. About a week later the dealer rang to say a brand new replacement was ready to collect. This shredder seems identical but it has already shredded over twice the amount of garden waste, some of it a little tougher than previously shredded and the blade is still going strong without all the chips in it as with the first model. Perhaps they have had a batch of faulty blades? Not such a bad purchase after all. There were no charges whatsoever for the replacement shredder.
