Landworks Wood Chipper Shredder Electric Light Duty 17:1 Reduction 15-Amp 1800 Watts 120VAC Dual Edge Blades for Lawn and Garden Use or Fire Prevention Building a Firebreak

i've had nothing but great experiences with the service dept. this machine works very well. it has no problem with branches up to the size advertised, even hard woods & thick southern vines. where i had a problem was with the hopper. simply put, the hopper broke and as a result, things got lodged in my chipper and the motor burned out. regardless, i contacted the manufacturer within the return/exchange window and they responded immediately. not only have they shipped me new parts right away, they have improved the product. the hopper design feeds better and is more robust. everything came via UPS almost next day. they want to help. this is a fantastic little machine. i cannot recommend the machine or the service highly enough. i was up and running again in the less than 7 days!one thing to watch for is the feed. all branches are drawn to one side, the right side if you're facing the handle. be sure the pusher is on the far (discharge, away from the handle) side of the hopper wall so you're protecting it. as well, branches that have knots or bends can bounce around inside once they get to a certain length. just turn it off and pull them out if they don't feed. i usually open up the hopper every time the bag is full to clear it out and check for strips that wrap around the shaft. the blades are reversible and are easy to clean and keep sharp.

I was skeptical of the product after reading the reviews but after using it, I was pleased with the results. I'm using a 15A cord like it recommended and it powered through maybe 1.2" and smaller branches very quickly about broom handle length and thickness in about 20 seconds. Really small branches don't seem to go through there the best but still get chucked up. I also mulched branches with leafs still on and it worked with no problem. I thought the included mulch bag was an added bonus as it hooks onto the unit. Top feed guard lost a screw that presumably fell through the unit while running so watch for that. I have only used the unit twice for moderate sized debris piles and after each use I took the cover off to check for clogs and the condition of the blades. The cover is easy to pop off and dust out any caught twigs or leaf matter. The blades were dinged up fairly good after two uses so maybe order some extra blades but they still seem to multxh well considering. The unit is very loud, like circular saw plus shop vac loud so I recommend ear plugs. We'll see how long the unit holds up but I am happy with it for what it is as it really mulches up well.

I am impressed by this chipper. It makes very nice wood chips from branches. I've been really rough with it the whole time. If you can jam that branch through the slot, it will eat it. It has a breaker button for overload protection that works great. Just means slow down with the big stuff. It didn't seem to shred soft garden debris very well. If you jam it up with anything it opens up very easily. Very easy to clear it all out and try it again.Also, the blades are reversible so you can flip them around and finish the job. The blades lasted a long time. I didn't keep track but I used it a lot and even lent it to someone who used it a lot, then I used again and finally had to flip the blades around. It cut like new again. It's also very light and easy to move anywhere. This chipper has taken a beating and it still looks and works great. Thank you for a good product.

Note: most of the reviews you see here are for the gasoline engine powered machine. I consider the way this listing is formatted to be intentionally deceptive. The gasoline option isn’t a “color.” The electric version is not practical as a limb chipper.The electric version is specified as 15 amps, capable of handling limb diameters of 1.57”, or 39mm...It will not handle material that size.Not even close. If you trim all the small branches off, it will handle 3/4” limbs, IF they are fed slowly. Very... very.... VERY... slowly. Count on it taking 2-3 times the length of time it takes to trim the limbs to feed them into this.If you have ever owned any kind of commercial grade tool you will probably hate this the second you feed so much as a twig into it.HOWEVER... it has one effective use. I can’t believe this isn’t widely understood even by the manufacturer. (These all come from the same place but with different plastic.) If you tape cardboard in the shape of a hopper around the feeder opening it works very well for leaves. You just fill the hopper with leaves and pack it in with the ‘push paddle’.But it is not a real chipper.
