I am impressed with the this small, electric wood chipper. I have many fruiting trees, Aspens, Pine & Oak to prune, so I needed a chipper to deal with the small branches. I have used the chipper many times, with very few choking problems. I did notice the blades stopped cutting the wood with ease & realized I needed to replace the blades, they had a few chips & had been worn down from all the wood chipping. I ordered 4 sets of new blades for future use.
Have used twice. Produces very nice natural mulch and was excited to get rid of the many twigs and sticks that accumulate through the winter. We were in the middle of the second use, chipping and shredding sticks 1/4 inch to 1.5 inches. Shredder was having no problem with small and very dead wood but when we put in a 1.5 in stick of hard wood it jammed and within seconds seems to have burned out the motor. Automatic shut off did not happen and we turned off with the switch within 5 seconds. Starting the warranty process today. We'll see how they stand behind they're product. Hoping they do as we were really happy with the mulch it produced
I would recommend this to a friend!

Like most regular homeowners, I needed a woodchipper that could take care of much of the regular branch trimming around the house without going overboard on a huge gas-powered monster that I'd probably never utilize fully. This little baby does the trick quite nicely. It's got enough power to grind up really hard oak and cedar branches with no problems. Now I'm looking for more branches to trim. It's kinda fun.
Very easy to install. I didn't use it yet. But in future I will use it
I would recommend this to a friend!
