I wasn’t sure if this Chipper could compare to the gas chipper and shredder that I had given to my son. It took up too much floor space.
The Apple, and Maple trees that I was planning on pruning would provide a source of carbon for my compost pile, and I needed to break down the branches into small chips.
The unit surpass my expectations in ease of assembly, chipping performance, and compact size. Best of all, it’s electric.
The hopper size and feeding slot doesn’t lend itself to shredding any more than a very small quantity of leaves. A mulching mower would be a better choice for that task.
Great value for the price, if you only need the chipping function.
