Works well, but QA not so good
on May 29, 2025
Posted by: James_007
Used once so far for about an hour. Works well. But quality control is terrible. When first assembling, there was a rattle inside motor housing. Had to remove housing cover to find reason: There was a screw left inside, and the tip of broken screwdriver. Screw was not just in the motor housing, but was actually inside the cage surrounding the motor! Could have shorted the motor if I used it this way. Very dangerous, don't know how this could have passed QA inspection.

Convenient little chipper shredder

I got this chipper / shredder about a month ago and I'm really impressed. I run my palm fronds through it as well as the small branches from my tree trimming. It did jam up on me but I inserted branch that was too big from the recommendation of not over 2 inches. I was able to remove the "jam" and it is running fine. The shredded material it produces is great bedding for my flower beds and garden. And the unit is very light and easy to move around the yard. Just be sure to have a long enough outdoor extension chord
I would recommend this to a friend!

Small chipper. Works fine for small jobs. Blades don't last long. Need to order more.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I just assembled the chipper, which was easy, and fired it up for a few branches that were down in my yard. Buzzed thru them like nothing. Looking forward to seeing how it works after a full day of pruning trees.
I would recommend this to a friend!

DOES NOT COME WITH A PROPER PLUG. This needs an extension cord, the plug is like 2 feet long. Other than that, pretty great little wood chipper. It's smaller than a baby stroller and understandably handles small to medium sized sticks. Nothing larger than two inches in diameter. If you have a bunch of trees in your yard always dropping sticks, then this is for you. You'll neverhave to buy mulch, just make it yourself.
