Forest Master FM4DDE-MUL Electric 4HP Garden Shredder, Wood Chipper & Mulcher – Chips Branches up to 50mm – Compact, Lightweight Design – Adjustable Chute – UK Engineered

Had been looking for chipper /mulcher for my large garden for quite a while. Before I decided on this one. Have had slow mulcher and impact shredders before and was looking for something a bit more heavy duty. Read all the reviews and I wasn't disappointed. Just put a massive pile of cuttings and branches through this little monster. Not problems at all. Not too load so won't annoy the neighbours. I removed the extension on the exit hopper and placed a garden container underneath. More than happy with this, highly recommend. Thank you.

This is by far the best shredder I have had. The mulch come out just like the saw dust from a chain saw. When you assemble it don't do it on a work bench like I did, as it is vary heavy to get it back done off the bench.

Whilst it says up to 50mm diameter, that’s ridiculous. Due to the design it clogs up and blocks the blade. As there’s no reverse, this leaves you with no option but to take it apart and clear the chopped up branch from the feed and clear the blade. Of course this takes so much time the temptation is to remove the safety cover and just put your hand in. Making sure you unplug it first eh. It’ll chew down on small branches up to 15mm but beyond that you risk it blocking & the subsequent danger of getting your hand chopped into small pieces. JUST NOT WORTH THE RISK.

Great product. Bought for home use. Petrol ones I use for work too big to lug around. Volume is less than petrol ones but out performs. Good thing, nanny state health and safety bits are easy to remove!

For home use Easy to Works really well with branches etc up to 1” but struggles over that up to 2”. It’s a bit small for my liking especially the chute I should have went a bit bigger however, it will do the job but don’t be in a hurry
