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.

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.

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.

Just recieved this and had to go out and try it right away. So far it works greats on the smaller brunches. Can't wait until I really use it tomorrow.

I purchased this item and a week later I had it in use. It made fast work of chipping a large pile of branches. I couldn't be happier with the results.

I am I am an 81 year old female. I have two large maple trees in my yard and I did not want to have to go to the dump with all those leaves. It would definitely take more than one trip. I use the shredder yesterday for the first time. It did a great job. It was time consuming, but I am very glad I purchased it.

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.

The last two shredders (EW) has blades where the whole for the allen keys are incredibly shallow making it impossible to remove blades after they dull. The Westinghouse blades have drop enough holes for easy voltage removal. The paddle has pre-set slaves on either side of the shredder for easy storage and access. Stay tuned for the next review of how it performs!

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.

In need of a small, but powerful chipper, I read the reviews on this Westinghouse model and decided to give it a try. Instructions for assembling it were simple and easy to follow. As soon as I had it assembled, I chipped up a small pile of live oak branches and it worked as advertised. Within minutes, I had 20 pounds of material which fit handily in my trash can.
