I have not yet begun to utilize it. The cost is significantly lower in comparison to that of competitors. Need to check the motor by running more than 30 mins at a stretch.
I bought this chipper in April 2025. I used it a few times and it worked great. Yesterday, May 12, 2026, I was using it to chip some smaller fallen branches from our white pine tree. It stopped working. I checked the electrical connections and they are fine. I unplugged it, opened it and using a stick, rotated the knives. It will not work. The motor does not turn on. I'm sad about this because it did a nice job on some small branches last fall.
So far so good easy to assemble and easily shredded some small sticks that I had available. Time will tell but seems to be just what I was looking for.
