VEVOR Wood Chipper Shredder Mulcher, 7HP Heavy Duty 3-in-1 Gas Powered Engine, 2" Inch Max Wood Diameter 212cc 4.1 kW, 4-Stroke Fast Chipping Chopping for Forestry, Gardens, EPA Certified

This device is a game changer! I am surprised how well it works for a machine in this price segment! I just chipped a whole bunch of green waste, including palm fronds and similar stuff, and it worked speedily and without a flaw. That is pretty impressive. While palm fronds may not seem tough, they have a tendency to warp around and clog up the chipper. In fact, a chipper I previously used that cost literally more than 10x as much, had major problems with that sort of stuff. The only thing I do not like about this chipper is that it is very difficult to open when it does clog up (and they all clog up every now and then). While more expensive machines may have a quick-latch system, this one you have to basically disassemble and open a bunch of screws (can't recall exactly, but I would say maybe 10?) You turn into a mechanic, rather than just a cleaner. So, whenever it does clog up, you are not in for a good time. But then again, the machine is just over $500, while most similar machines I saw that are any better are more in the $5000-7000 range. For that, I can unscrew a bunch of screws every now and then. Heck, if this bothers you too much, you could buy a half a dozen of these machines and just switch when one clogs, and you will still be way ahead as far as expenses go ;-)

UPDATE: VEVOR resolved issue. The machine works fabulously! Eats 2-2.5" limbs like candy. Starts first pull. Happy to have earlier issues resolved. Motor froze on third use. Chipping chamber filled with oil. Sent video and stills of oil. Vevor support is non-responsive. Support keeps saying they are reviewing my "claim" and I should wait 48 hours. (How many times should I wait "48 hours"?) This product would have been a 5 star review, it worked well when it worked. Sadly the motor failed and Vevor support has not taken any action in a month plus. WHERE ARE YOU VEVOR? This is a $550 machine that should offer years of service, not three uses!

Later the same day, they thanked me for my understanding and patience, stating they would contact me as soon as possible with the latest progress. I have several Vevor products that perform well. I expected better when I bought this.

This unit weighs about 50 lbs more than the others in the same price range. There are 2 chipper blades on the flywheel instead of one. The bolts are grade 8 steel or higher, which really surprised me. Overall, it's built like a tank. I had 7 medium to large deciduous and pine trees worth of brush to remove, and I considered renting a larger shredder from Home Depot. In retrospect, I made the right choice by buying this machine. The job took me about 20 hours of work, spread out over three weeks. This machine handled the task very well, and helped me to chip several cubic yards of mulch, greatly enhancing the property. It took me more time than it would have taken to use a large rented shredder, but I have the machine now for smaller future tasks. The engine seems solid and had no issues with startup (easy to pull), throttle control, or performance under load. You have to be careful with branches over 2" in diameter, especially when the wood is harder or wet. You can stall it out if you don't feed slowly or use enough throttle, but overall the machine performs extremely well for the price. I would buy any of Vevor's other products without hesitation after seeing how this 'lil monster performed.

Did you not give you what you need to put it together. The instructions are absolute garbage. You have to have the world's tiniest hands to put this thing together. It's a heavy piece of crap. You need a special tool just to put oil in the thing. Which they don't tell you where it goes. They have two openings which what could appear to be for oil but nothing's labeled. $600 and they can't even label the thing properly.
