Product Information

Users queue up to applaud the way this cheap ’n’ chunky chaff chewer gulps down branches up to 40cm in diameter and then farts them out into a large 50-litre box as little wooden chips.

I fed it the same type of rose branches that the cheap Einhell model made light work of and it jammed up a few times requiring me to hit the reverse button to free up some of the leafy congestion. While it’s not good to receive a dead machine, getting the issue resolved quickly is a positive for the TackLife team.

Like an enormous masticating juicer, this quiet, electric-powered 2,500 watt turbine model uses a bladed drum that spins relatively slowly under massive torque, trapping, crushing and cutting branches up to 45mm in diameter against a solid plate. However, bear in mind that we’re talking about a high-end, durable machine that’ll work relentlessly for ages. It’s easier than using a lot of different garden tools, and it’s definitely better than having to deal with a manual compost shredder. As I say in the about page, I was appalled at the lack of good information available about Garden Shredders. This smart-looking electric model is about the same size and weight as the Bosch and Cobra, and just as well built, though some assembly is required, including fitting the wheels.On other quiet shredders, once the troughs have filled with compacted waste the teeth can no longer dig in and cut. For those who don’t read French, this article spends quite a bit of space talking about the importance of reviews. Most of them are more hassle than they’re worth, especially for regular use, so I was interested to see how this Bosch shredder would hold up.

However, it doesn’t tackle as many different materials as the Bosch and Cobra, and struggles with anything that has high moisture content like large leaves and soft springy branches.It's easy to assemble, just the legs need attaching and at 12kg, it's light and easy to move around the garden and in and out of the shed. For leaves, twigs and palm fronds, flick the switch on the front and shove some greenery into the large opening. Given that the blade turns so fast, an impact garden shredder can generally whizz through green material, and chop up smaller twigs and branches.
