Powerful punch in compact body

I was shocked at the little guys power to shred any branches that fit in the opening. The push tool is a plus for pieces that do not get completely fed through on their own. Great purchase and has tremendously helped in clearing-out my brush piles.

Great product, excellent value.

The chipper is made of high-quality materials and performs better than I anticipated. In just one day of use, it has saved me many, many bags of branches that I would have had to cut up and put out in the trash. Having wood chips to use as mulch is an added benefit, but even if not saving for mulch, the output reduces my trash substantially. This chipper has saved me many hours of work as we've had a lot of dead wood to clear away from the hard freezes this past winter in central Florida.

It will shred branches to little pieces

I bought this to get rid of a bunch of debris from bushes I trimmed. I was surprised at how small the pieces were. I was hoping for a little bigger for more mulch coverage around trees. It is a "shredder chipper", but closer to a shredder. But it does the job. It's no really easy to use. I spent a lot of time trying to get sticks to hit the blades and got a number of branches stuck where it wouldn't go either way. But overall I am pleased with this purchase.

Looking forward to making my own mulch

The assembly instructions were a bit confusing as some of the items on the inventory list were already installed on the unit, the numbers on the Components list (Figure 3) Carton Contents (Figure 4) and Assembly instructions (figure 5) did not correlate with each other, and the assembly instructions #7 said to attach the shaft to the motor housing but you need to complete the other side of the axel before doing so. The operation of the chipper/shredder was good on the test sticks and branches I used. I'm looking forward to making my own mulch with this machine.

Easy assembly

So far so good easy to assemble and easily shredded some small sticks that I had available. Time will tell but seems to be just what I was looking for.

Good price. Poor instructions.

Great price. Terrible instructions. A quick explanation and a few pictures on how to operate this piece if equipment are needed. Maybe even a video showing how to operate.

Great until it wasn't

I bought this chipper Tuesday April 22nd of this year. I've used it a lot, more than I thought I would, and loved it. That is, until it just stopped working out of no where. I've done all the troubleshooting and nothing has worked. It just won't turn on any more. Big bummer cause I really was loving this thing. I believe it's still under warranty so hopefully I can get it fixed. It's just really inconvenient timing.

Without Any Warning, My Chipper Stopped Working

I bought this chipper in April 2025. I used it a few times and it worked great. Yesterday, May 12, 2026, I was using it to chip some smaller fallen branches from our white pine tree. It stopped working. I checked the electrical connections and they are fine. I unplugged it, opened it and using a stick, rotated the knives. It will not work. The motor does not turn on. I'm sad about this because it did a nice job on some small branches last fall.
