Have used twice. Produces very nice natural mulch and was excited to get rid of the many twigs and sticks that accumulate through the winter. We were in the middle of the second use, chipping and shredding sticks 1/4 inch to 1.5 inches. Shredder was having no problem with small and very dead wood but when we put in a 1.5 in stick of hard wood it jammed and within seconds seems to have burned out the motor. Automatic shut off did not happen and we turned off with the switch within 5 seconds. Starting the warranty process today. We'll see how they stand behind they're product. Hoping they do as we were really happy with the mulch it produced

MY HUSBAND HAD QUITE A BIT OF LIMBS THAT HE'D CUT. THIS CHIPPER MADE IT EASY GETTING THEM CHIPPED INTO MULCH STUFF. HE USED IT FOR THE DAY UNTIL THE BLADES WORE DOWN. HE SHARPENED THEM AND STILL PURCHASED NEW ONES FROM THE WEBSITE. THIS HANDY CHIPPER IS GOING TO BE WELL USED. HOPEFULLY IT CAN HANDLE THE JOB FOOR YEARS TO COME.

Bought this product for property cleanup after the winter and it works great for twigs and not too thick branches, the free mulch is a nice bonus, will work on all types of branches but I wouldn't use it on too many hard woods which will dull the blade and trip the built in breaker.

Got this to help clean up tree and shrub trimmings around the yard. Super easy to use, works quickly, and reduces trimmings into small piles that are easy to discard. I used to have to breakdown piles over a few weeks to comply with the city’s yard waste rules. This will make it possible to get everything done and cleaned up all at once!

I was a little nervous since this was my first ever wood chipper, but it wasn't too complicated to set up, and I'm happy it included the paddle pusher and bag to hold the wood chips. I tested it with a stick about 1.5 inches thick and it worked fine. I'm excited to turn all the twigs in my yard into wood chips!

I was surprised how well this unit works for my 1/4 acre property. Teamed with a small electric chainsaw, 100% of my yard work now becomes firewood or mulch, saving me from buying both. I generally don’t chip material over about an inch as this is excellent firewood. Highly recommended.

Bought this chipper last week, used extensively over the past weekend. I have about 5 years-worth of various sized sticks that have fallen from nearby trees, and it was getting to be a bit too much. We bought this in spite of the limited reviews, knowing that it's difficult to be one of the first to purchase something nowadays. I was pleasantly surprised with its ability to handle everything we threw at it over 2 days without stopping. It did clog up a couple of times, but unclogging was super easy and safe as long as you follow the instructions (unplug the device, avoid using your hand to manually move the blade, etc.). Overall it's a great device, would highly recommend for those who have an ever-growing stick pile.

I purchased this a few weeks ago and it was going well. All the branches and brush from fire mitigation were being taken care of handily. I went to start it up today and the on/off switch isn't toggling...maybe the vibration shook something loose. I may be updating to 5 stars or 1 depending on how the warranty process goes.

bought this to beak down branches that I clean up after storms, but I did a great job with dry wood and also held up to some new branches with leaves that I pruned a couple days ago. Overall I'd say it's worth the money if you're looking for a way to beak down small branches to mulch which can be bagged and thrown out easier than having to carry out large bundles of branches that are hard to handle.

Used once so far for about an hour. Works well. But quality control is terrible. When first assembling, there was a rattle inside motor housing. Had to remove housing cover to find reason: There was a screw left inside, and the tip of broken screwdriver. Screw was not just in the motor housing, but was actually inside the cage surrounding the motor! Could have shorted the motor if I used it this way. Very dangerous, don't know how this could have passed QA inspection.
