I am using that to turn branches into mulch for strawberries. I am amazed at the large size of branches it will turn into mulch. Not good for leaves or small twigs, but for my purposes it is very good. It appears to have cup holders on the back. Wrong place for drinks. The drinks will end up with twigs and things in them. If you get one, there is a rocker button with forward and reverse. There is a third position for the button in the middle. The motor will not turn on if the button is in the middle position. If the machine will not turn on, make sure the button is firmly pushed in the forward position.

We used it over the weekend, 3-4h without problems, the machine will take a short break whenever the bag got full. We chipped 2 huge piles of branches trimmed from 3 trees down to almost nothing! Once you get the hang of it, the pace and capacity, it goes relatively quickly as the machine self-feed. Rated 92dB, while not exactly quiet, it's not that bad with some earplugs. Just make sure the chute below doesn't get cloged up by keeping an eye on pile below. Seems to be well built with safety push to start/stop forward/stop/reverse controls.

We used the chipper to reduce the volume of waste while removing a large Palo Verde tree from the backyard. It easily chewed up branches up to 3/4" in diameter. Instead of making 5-6 trips to the landfill hauling thorny branches, we loaded up our city green waste container a few times. It was a great value.

Very Satisfied with SunJoe 603E

I read the reviews before deciding whether to buy the chipper. Most of the reviews were positive so I ordered the it.
After trying it out over several weekends to reduce the size of my accumulated tree and shrub prunings piles, I could not be more satisfied with the machine. Most of the prunings up to the maximum size (1.7 in) were handled very easily by the chipper.
My piles contained prunings from several seasons so I was able to determine that it liked the current season's material best (i.e., not dried out). Older and more decomposed material didn't process as well - it fell apart before it could be chipped.
Now that I have the chipper and can process when the cuttings are produced rather than every few years, I shouldn't have any partially decomposed material.

It doesn't shred leaves - but then, it's not a shredder; that's a different machine.
I am very pleased with the tool.

Perfect for my small urban homestead!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This woodchipper is perfect for my little urban container garden. The woodchipper is super quiet when it runs and is able to chomp through the garden waste material at an impressive rate! I've also been happily surprised at the diameter of the branches it will get through! I haven't had to use the reverse button once yet :D This machine is a great value for any gardener!

Product is easy to use and devours branches up to 3/4" thick with ease. It works a bit to chop up larger branches and struggles a bit to chop up 1" to 1 1/2" thick branches. As far as the 1.7 inch thick branches, forget it. The overload kicked in and the machine shut down. The 8" long remaining piece of branch was jammed in the machine. Use of the reverse feature quickly dislodged it. Also it can't be fed too fast or the discharge chute clogs up so work slow and methodically. In spite of its deficiencies it's a great little machine for the average homeowner. I chopped up a pickup truck load of branches in no time, but I still have quite a pile of branches thicker than 1.7 inch diameter that I need to dispose of. I use the word chop because the machine really doesn't chip the wood it chops the wood into nugget-like pieces, but I'm o.k. with that.

CJ603e has done everything I wanted it to do. Bear in mind it is not a "giant industrial shredder", but it turned fifty years of over grown forsythias into an eight foot pile of mulch in one weekend.

Don't buy. You'll love it until the CP wears out

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.
