Made very light work of thick branches. Not very mobile, esp once the top is packed away. Great buy for a large garden.

I expected it to shred larger branches of pruning.

Works fine on straight branches big enough to fit through the loading guards. It chops finer twigs into 3 inch segments rather than shredding them. It can struggle with bushier branches as the opening is a slot. You might need to pre-trim them flat. The blades do go blunt. My first project was a mature shrub and the first edge didn't last long after that. Now I'm on hedge management and the blades have produced more bags of chips without going blunt.

Nice compact unit for shredding general garden waste. I was a little disappointed it didn't come with a collecting bag but I found a large tub bucket that fit neatly underneath.

It does exactly what you need in a garden. Easy to use, and makes best use of space in a recycling bin by cutting all waste up small.
