Kindlet well made no plastic. No real experience of the posch but what I saw I would not have the control or access to make neat bags. The posch looked ok if you make random filled bags if you get a knot the only way to clear it seemed to be keep going but they may have changed the design now.

from what I remember the top was hinged right above the splitting blade and you could lift anything out that wasn't going through too easily. only fuelwood machine I have seen had design flaw nothing putting pressure on the log as it entered the knife guy was having to use a pinch bar to stop it kicking back but that was 3-4 yrs ago.

I guess if I was in the market for a new one I would see both working. The kindlet is not great with lots of 6 inch round timber. There are fingers that stop the timber returning but if its too high they wont have the angle. The ends of the fingers also need to be kept sharp. The kindlet excels at square joinery off cuts.
