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.

I wasn't expecting much out if this tool but the price was right and the reviews were good. I am so glad I bought this. The first day we used it for 3 hours without a hiccup. I chewed through branches and the chip sixmze is perfect. We bought it to create bedding for our chickens and it has already paid for itself in bedding costs.

I bought this in November just before it gets too cold and I was looking forward to getting all the limbs cleaned up off the ground. It's just right for those pesky tree limbs that blow off the trees in the fall. I am a woman, so this makes my job so much easier than packing them and hauling them to the dump. I just put my woodchipper up in the orchard and chip there. I do not have to worry much about hauling them off, I put them around the orchard or in the composter. Sure, makes my cleanup so much easier and quicker.

I really don’t like it. It stopped working after one use and after I cleaned it out it still doesn’t work.

Seems to do well grinding up tree branches, even with leaves. The last storm "delivered" some firewood so there is a lot more to do.

Just got this put together but it's been raining the last two days and possibly going to snow tomorrow. Hope to start using this weekend. Was easy to assemble.

I have not yet begun to utilize it. The cost is significantly lower in comparison to that of competitors. Need to check the motor by running more than 30 mins at a stretch.

I bought this a couple weeks ago and I am having so much fun chipping and shredding my yard waste and adding to my compost pile. Does a great job for a small machine!

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.

I've used this in the backyard twice now chipping two rather large bushes. I'm very pleased. Obviously it's not chipping large diameter branches but for the small stuff it has worked great making a nice mulch.
