WEN 41130 Electric Wood Chipper and Shredder, 15-Amp, Black

La verdad funciona mejor de lo que esperaba, decían que por su alto requerimiento de amperaje podría calentar los cables de alimentación o requerir instalación especial, pero no tuve ese problema, una extensión normal no se calienta. Genera excelente composta y toda rama dentro del diámetro de una pulgada la tritura sin problemas, hasta busco ramas del árbol del vecino para triturar. El único detalle es que ramas demasiado pequeñas y delgadas no las tritura pero esas la puedes dejar así.

They conveniently forget to mention that it needs 110V supply. You need a step up transformer. Probably this vital information is hidden intentionally, to sell in India. Be ready to fork out another Rs.10000, for a good transformer.

I am so happy with this product. It suits all my gardening needs. It has such a fine shred I've been making my own animal bedding with it. It will even do soft materials as long as you have some sticks with it. I have had zero issues with things getting stuck. I am always very gentle and dont yank on anything. I turn it off every few mins to let it have rest. You should never run a shredder for any long period of time. I've done tonnes of material with this for a couple months now using this strategy and I've had zero issues.

Assembly was super easy, just flip the legs down, bolt on the wheels and it's ready. There's even a slot on the body to store the included allen wrench. Build quality is good overall, feels rugged enough to last for many seasons. The wheels make it easy to move to position, then just plug it in and flip the oversize rubber-enclosed power switch. This thing means business. It's loud when the blades are chewing through a big branch, but very comfortable to work around if you put on some hearing protection. Gives a very satisfying BRRRRRRRRRT and literally pulls the branch in, you will need to guide it and bend in smaller branches so they go into the mouth. Seems very safe, the blade is deep inside enough that you literally can't reach it if you're dumb enough to stick your fingers in, and they include a paddle to help push stuff in for that purpose. I first tried it out on a bunch of limbs from an old maple tree, everything from little sticks up to around 1.5"-1.75" branches. It ate all of it, no problem. If the branch fits inside the opening, it will chip. Never got stuck, didn't bog down, just chewed through everything with that satisfying BRRRRRRRRRRRT. The power and effectiveness made it fun to use. My wife and I had to take turns because we both wanted to feed the branches in. How often do you have fun doing yard chores? After we finished the branch pile I walked around looking for more stuff to chip. I'm VERY happy with my decision to spend the extra $30 for the one with the bin. It has a latching mechanism that keeps the bin in place and shuts off the power when you de-latch it. No messing with bags, just unlatch the bin, dump, lock it back in, and ready to proceed. I chipped a pile of branches (maybe 150lb?) in about 20-30 minutes emptying the bin about 6 times. Amazing how little space those branches take after you chip them. The warranty says it's covered for 2y or 500h of runtime. Based on how fast we went through those branches, 2y will almost certainly come before we manage to run this for 500h. The hopper has a single knob that you unscrew in order to flip the top open and access the inside of the hopper and the blades. The blades are both removable and look easy to sharpen. They're just blocks of tempered steel with a wedge on one side. After my one day of use I don't notice any change in the sharpness. I'm looking forward now to going around with my saw and finding more trees and branches to chip. I am going to take good care of this tool, it is very nice. After use I opened the hopper, brushed away all this chips and junk and wiped the metal hopper and blades with WD40 and stored it in my basement.

Working fast and easy to use.
