Small opening restricts leaves loading

Stopped working after using it a few times.

I bought this a few months ago and it's already dead. The motor died and it won't restart.

Makes great mulch

This chipper is a great option for cleaning up sticks falling from trees. It doesn't take up too much space

Good for composting

It finely chewed up the green leaves and shrub branches I wanted for my compost maker. It's loud, though. I suggest you use earplugs.

Great Tool for the Garden

Assembly of chipper was easy, although a better illustration would be helpful. The chipper is amazing and powerful for its size.

Nice item

Easy to assemble wheels set up, I have not had the opportunity to use it because it keeps raining when I am free to work in my garden

Works well

This product changed my life...kidding. Works as described, as expected struggles a bit with the branches at the top of the range.

Wood Chipper W1.7WCAC works good

Maybe a little lighter duty than I expected but it does handle all small and medium branches well. I fed the medium limbs 1 by 1 as that worked the best. Also I liked the chip catcher bag (seems long lasting) and the chip size produced, those were small enough to use as wood mulch in the flower bed.

Great Product, Good Features

I bought this to add to my composter. It works very well and chews things up quickly. The only drawback is that the opening to put branches and other items through is small so you can't put too much in at one time. Being a safety professional, I understand the reason for that for the safety of the buyer so I can not blame the Mfr. for that.

Making my own mulch!

I'm very happy with this wood chipper. I'm making my own garden mulch simply by cleaning up the sticks that fall from my trees. The chipper shreds the sticks into a nicely fine grain mulch that I spread into my garden beds, keeping all the goodness in my own yard. Now I don't have to worry about pesticides that might be contained in any commercial mulch as I won't have as much need to purchase mulch, saving a lot of money. This is much more sustainable and will pay itself back in a short time.
