Garden waste shredder?

[sandspider]

Hi all

 

Looking for advice on a garden shredder. This is for my home use, just want to turn hedge clippings etc. into mulch that can be used on trees etc. I don't need a 300hp whole tree chipper, but would like a garden shredder that will do a decent job and last for a reasonable price. Doubt I'd need to shred anything bigger than an inch or two diameter as it will go in the log / kindling pile...

Can anyone recommend a good one? I saw that Aldi did one for £60 https://www.aldi.co.uk/impact-garden-shredder/p/066926035804500), but that it will only shred 4cm diameter max.

 

I appreciate this is a bit below a tree surgeon style professional chipper! But hopefully people might have some experience of lower end kit too...

 

Thanks.

1 inch = 2.54 cm

 

Just saying.

I know - so 4CM is slightly below my desired 2 inch capacity! True, it would probably be enough if I was a bit careful about what I fed it...

 

Has anyone tried this shredder, and is it any good?

 

Thanks.

The bosch grinder ones were the best by far; not the disc rubbish.

Thanks. Do you mean the "quiet" shredders that have a rotating drum rather than blades? I only seem to be able to find drum or blade shredders...

The rotating drum ones are no bad at all for what they cost.

I have this one and can't recommend it enough, has handled loads of stuff, clearing my garden, over the last 6 months.

 

Can recommend lawnmowers direct too, one of the panels was broken when it was delivered and they sorted me a replacement panel without issue

Depends on your budget, we offer the Jo Beau E100 or M100 & the M200. They will produce a small chip.

how patient are you??!!! i have a sthil petrol one that i got cheap and its pretty slow and annoying, maybe fine if your just feeding in straight sticks but forks are a no go.

if you could try some before you buy would be a good bet.
