Nice garden shredder
on June 27, 2026
Posted by: Ed1234
I purchased this shredder a year ago. The shredder works great with branches over 1/4 inch; anything less than that, it just snaps the twigs. If there are fresh leaves on the branches, the output chute will fill up with debris and clog. The chute needs to be larger so the chips/leaves can fall out.
Pros:
Portable, no gas, 1 3/4 sizes branches,
Portable, no gas, 1 3/4 sizes branches,
Cons:
Difficult to get replacement cutting blade; exit chute clogs; wish it can shred up to 2 1/2 branches
Difficult to get replacement cutting blade; exit chute clogs; wish it can shred up to 2 1/2 branches
Overall satisfied with the purchase.

It just works and works

I love my chipper. Everything can go in the mulch pile or the fireplace now. It does get jammed sometimes but that’s usually when I am pushing it. Mines chewed up an entire birch tree, a black walnut, some large lilacs and much more over 3 years and it keeps on going. One of the best buy’s I’ve ever made.

Good but with limitations
on September 16, 2025
Posted by: PetrifiedPops
The chips are not as clean as I would have liked. It is most definitely not for leaves, unless you have very few. The imput is simply too small and you end up feeding a handfull at a time. Once I accepted that, I am enjoying the chipper for smaller branches from the trees at the top of my ravine property. It is small, but do wear protective gear, especially if you are feeding a longer stick or branch as they can whip around and even eject. I don't use the collection bag as when I use the chipper I do quite a bit of work and it fills too quickly for me.

Don't buy. You'll love it until the CP wears out
on December 1, 2024

from Texas
I love love love this product for chopping bamboo. It does absolutely everything I need it to do. HOWEVER, the counterplate is a consumable piece designed to be worn out, but you can't find it anywhere, and haven't been able to for years. Why they still sell this product without selling the consumable part is beyond me. That's like selling a printer but not having ink cartridges.

Did a beautiful job mulching my tree cuttings!
on October 17, 2024
Posted by: Franklin M
from Fort Worth, Texas
I'd been buying mulch for our front yard tree, and always end up with a big pile of branches after clearing our yard. Some of it, I can use for our fireplace, but the rest would end up in a pile behind the tall porch bushes. I finally got around to getting the sun joe mulcher and I was surprised at the fact that that growing pile was completely mulched in one shot. I was expecting it to at least get hot, if not overheat, but I ended up filling the mulch bag almost to the top without stopping. The pile is gone, and the tree's got free mulch now (plus no worries about introducing bugs or who knows what through store bought mulch to my property). I've attached some pictures for scale.

Seems MADE to mulch dead bamboo!!!
on August 18, 2024
Posted by: Rob in FIP NY
from Fire Island Pines, NY
This machine is THE best for mulching dead bamboo.... like this thing seems to be uniquely made for the task!!! Can do live bamboo too, but you have to whack the discharge shoot every few minutes to release the mulch that gets stuck up in it. BUT, that mulch that then gets released is the finest, most processed and smallest mulch the machine produces. I have been using it NON-STOP, lending out to friend who have been impressed with its durability and reliability..... it just keeps mulching!!!!
