LawnMaster2800W Quiet Garden Shredder Maximum diameter 42mm, 60 litre collection box, safety plunger with free safety glasses, 2 Year Guarantee

Very easy to use and makes short work of branches and twigs. If shredding green branches with foliage, ensure you have some dry thicker branches to run through afterwards. Makes great mulch.

The unit fits together easily. Just bolt on the wheels and stops and 4 screws to hold the top to the frame and slide the box on and you are good to go.Easy to understand instructions with the spanner and hex is supplied. A spare wear plate assemble is included in the box.The unit uses a slowly rotating cutter against a aluminium plate, this makes the operation reasonably quite and certainly acceptable for a residential situation. For best performance, ensure the cutters are adjusted as per the instructions via the easy to use adjustment knob.The machine works well and the motor makes easy work of both 40mm branches and smaller bunches from bushes (also in bundles to the max size).If one overfeeds the unit it automatically stops and the blades can be switch to reverse to clear the blockage. A purpose designed 'poker' comes in the box to help with feeding,The unit is easy to maneuver with the large wheels making moving over most ground easy - the unit not heavy for its size.The solid collection box is a useful addition, especially if one needs to lift the cuttings into something for disposal. This is also the focus of my only negative comment, the box has a safety switch, so the machine will not run with the box out, this removes any option to put a different container under the machine for collection of cutting. No biggy tho...Overall, first use of the machine was better than I expected for a domestic unit, very useful and easy (and fun) to use.

Shreds well and copes with a decent workload. Assembly was easy. With minor adjustments The blades seem to keep their edges well. It's a tidy little machine

Very sturdy and easy to assemble. Works by chopping waste against a back plate rather than by using rotating blades so less likely to get blocked up. Very good with small branches, less so with things like green bramble stalks - just let them dry out first. Definitely recommended .

In the past I have used this type of shredder with the big block of six knives and the type with a spinning disc with a couple of blades. The disc type was better at grinding up leaves but the knife block is much better at chipping branches. Needing a new one I went for the knife block.It does the job but it does not seem as good as my memory of the old one. This one as expected is not that good with foliage as it seems to jam up the feed but its OK with branches although it sometimes takes some effort to get the knives to pick up the branches and pull them through. Not something I remember being an issue with my old one.Over all the build quality seems OK but as expected It is very heavy to move around our hilly garden. Not a lot of assembly. Just a few screws to fit the top to the base and put the wheels on.
