Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

Powerful 2200W shredder--lighter, faster, and easier to use

The Bosch AXT 2200 Rapid shredder is a fast and powerful shredder, perfect for green, soft material. Powered by a high speed 2200 watt Bosch ‘Powerdrive’ motor, it enables high material throughput. With its laser-cut precision blade, made from especially hardened steel, it provides excellent cutting performance of green or woody garden debris.

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.

The Bosch AXT 2200 Rapid features laser cut blades that give 7 times more cutting power than conventional blade shredders

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Shredder, 1 Oct 2008

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

This review is from: Bosch AXT Rapid 2200 - Electric Shredder (DIY & Tools)

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 July 2008

By	London user (England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bosch AXT Rapid 2200 - Electric Shredder (DIY & Tools)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great bit of kit, 25 Sep 2008

By	ray dorrity "ray dorrity" (New Forest, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Bosch AXT Rapid 2200 - Electric Shredder (DIY & Tools)

This is great bit of kit - I'd been meaning to get a garden shredder for years, and after after trolling through various reviews I decided on the Bosch AXT 2200.
Unlike one of the other reviewers, I am not using it to clear a rainforest, just lots of small branches and other cuttings.
What previously would have been a numerous visits to the tip with an estate car filled to the brim with branches, is now reduced to five densly packed rubbish bags.
Why didn't I buy one years ago?
Greatly recommended.
