Hyundai Electric Garden Shredder, 2400w, 230v, 4200rpm speed, Portable with 10m Power Cable, Detachable collection bag and 3 Year Warranty

We had been considering buying a garden shredder for a long time - but we were put off by almost every shredder having some quite negative reviews - even the expensive ones. A local gardener suggested this one - and it has exceeded our expectations after a few uses. We were advised against spending a lot on an expensive one. The shredder makes short work of the prunings from the garden bushes and trees. A big heap of prunings produces about half a bag of fine shreddings which can then be spread as a mulch. Feeding the shredder is easy enough, and woody bits up to about 1.5cm diameter disappear quickly. The push tool helps the leafier bits go through. Sure it’s quite noisy, but it’s quick. The wire is plenty long enough and seems good quality. The shreddings all end up in the bag supplied - it is very functional for our needs. The machine seems to be well made and quite sturdy. Assembly was easy enough. It’s on wheels, so is easily moved. It is stable enough in use. I wish we’d bought this a few years ago.

Just used this for the first time and I was pleased with the results. Fairly simple to put together, but insert the axle in the legs before putting them into place on the body. The shredding mechanism worked well on the thin branches I had to dispose of, but it is quite noisy to operate up close. There is an excellent long electric lead which means I could wheel it over to the pile rather than the other way round. The unit feels sturdy and is ideal for what I need. I don’t have any larger branches to test it out, but it was good with what I had.

This is the 3rd different brand of have purchased of the last 10 years. So far this is the best. TOP TIP THOUGH. ALL brands seem to jam up if you put in branches that still have lots of leaves on. The odd leaf is fine, but too many makes the chippings damp and they get stuck in the machine and cause a jam. I have been stripping the leaves on to the ground and then go over them with my hover mower. This cuts them up really well, and sucks them up, so they will compost much quicker. The chipper also makes very small chippings, which is great as they will also compost down quicker. ANOTHER TIP; This chipper comes with a bag to catch the chippings. Remember to keep an eye on the contents. They tend to build up at one end of the bag (the bit you can't see when you look down) and if you don't clear it before it reaches the bottom of the machine, the chippings can't get out and it causes a jam. The only minor downside is the wheels are too close together. This is not a problem whilst in use, but when you are trying to get it out or put it away and you are manoeuvring around things, it tends to fall over. All in all, it feels well made, works well and I am very happy with my purchase.

Having used this a couple of times over the last ~6 months, I have found some good and bad parts. Good parts: Cheap and easy to use 10M cable. Bad parts: Very top heavy, moving it around can be a pain in the rear. Jams up very easily. Thought I was putting through a good mixture of sticks and green leaves, but it still jammed up. The paddle they give you to help feed it is useless, it breaks within a few uses. Totally rubbish! Wont self feed, the last machine I had was able to pull stick and material through itself. This one wont, which means you need to stand there and feed it in manually. Paddle didnt last long enough to help. Luckily i had my old paddle from my previous machine, its solid and still working fine! Sort of regret buying this now, ended up buying a 13HP petrol machine instead. Much better and no messing around, it may have been more expensive, but It should balance out with the time it will save instead of trying to use this.

After comparing different shredders I bought this one and am really impressed. Having heavily trimmed two large trees I was left with two very big piles of branches, one from a giant bay tree and the other from a beech...this shredder dealt with everything incredibly well from the bay with lots of leaves to the dryer beech. I didn't push my luck with the thicker branches but it munched through everything up to 25-30mm and didn't block up once so I'm left with 20+bags of finely chopped material that's easy to deal with. The length of the cable is very useful and the noise isn't excessive although noisier with the thicker pieces...it really does pull the material through almost automatically and although I was dubious of the plastic bag which collects the chippings it really does work well and is easy to handle. Very easy to assemble using the spanner provided. Highly recommended!!

Bought this after reading reviews and looking on consumer guidance comparison sites. Was a little worried as some reviews were very negative. Well, I'm a 70 year old woman, assembled it no bother and it works a treat. I've been using it for a few days shredding masses of garden waste and I'm very impressed and surprised at how finely it shreds. It's handling all sorts of twigs and branches such as hydrangea, lilac, and ivy. So far nothing has got stuck but maybe my neighbours are fed up with the noise. The machine has a good long cable and is easy to manoeuvre in and out of the shed etc. Some pointers: Ear defenders are definitely needed Long branches may twist and jump around a bit as they hit the blades, so stand back and use the pusher to help them through. Trim any awkward shaped branches to avoid them getting stuck and stick (no pun intended) to the size guidance Empty the collection bag regularly It doesn't fine shred leaves but that's not a problem for me So all in all, I would recommend it. Use it sensibly and I see no reason why it shouldn't keep on happily shredding.

Stopped working after two uses only!

Works great. Just make sure you don't put too much leaves in at a time or big sticks. Small brush from yard/garden cleanup to make my own mulch. I've sharpened the blades a few times. If shipping wasn't so expensive I'd get a bigger machine but this will do for now. The output is not always consistent. Sometimes it makes sawdust, sometimes flakes and sometimes like longer shredded sticks. It probably depends on blades sharpness and the type of material going in.
