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.

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.

We rent a small home and yard and we're responsible for cleanup, and this helps keep us from having to trash many bags of yard waste that would otherwise to go the landfill, since we don't have a compost option. We didn't want to break the bank on a chipper for cleaning up branches that we prune and other yard debris. This little guy did the trick. It won't do the main portion of any larger limbs, but it'll do long, skinny limbs just fine. The hard part is the feeder. You have to either cut or work around any forks, gnarls, or twists, but with careful feeding you can use other branches to push the parts that don't get pulled through. It has chopped some 1"-ish branches and handles smaller spindly stuff OK, too.

This is a great little chipper/shredder for the price. Easy to put together and easy to use. I bought this primarily to shred last season's plant stalks, but I also sent through some smaller branches. It did a great job on both. Just keep an eye on the exit chute if you are pushing plants through - it tends to bunch up and block the exit, especially with less stiff material (ornamental grasses in my case). I used it for 3 hours straight and it never overheated.

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.

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.

I bought this last weekend, and it's here already (wed.April 1st). I have not used it yet,as it is raining right now (yay,Oregon!) but it was fairly easy to put together, and seems very sturdy. Will do a more in depth review on my social medias and google or something, when I get to use it.

Works well so far. I've had it for a week. The shredding collection bag is badly designed, when the unit is running the bag billows out in front and chips and dust fly everywhere. I will try getting a bungee cord around it to close the gap.

The first day we use this wood chipper, it was great. But, I only got 2 uses out of it. So, now I'm going to contact them for another one. The motor started smoking. I have no idea why. I hope they can replace it. The assembly instructions were a bit unclear. It doesn't tell you which leg goes on which side. It can use an "R" and "L". We had to take it apart and then put it back together. But it's lightweight and makes good mulch.

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.
