Bosch AXT 25 TC Turbine Cutting 3 in 1 Garden Shredder

John Roberts 21/04/2021 20:05:12

I've tried three garden shredders previously. This Bosch AXT25 TC is simply the best. It doesn't clog like the fast spinning ones and handles large branches effortlessly. So, it does cost considerably more than others, but it's worth it if it works as you want it to and safe in the knowledge that spares are available unlike the branded ones which you can't even get the sacrificial alluminium anvil for.

Great bit of kit. Simple operation. Could do with more features for the price but not at all disappointed with its performance. Because the hopper is not particularly wide dealing with handfuls of cuttings can be messy. An attachment could solve this.

This replaced an AXT 2200 HP that I'd had for 15 years. It's certainly a worthy successor and made short work of the material I put into it. When I tried to register it for an extended guarantee, I couldn't find the serial number - the manual was of little use in identifying its location. Where did I find it? Hidden under the power cable coiled around a cover plate at the back of the machine! So now you know.

Good service, no surprises

A little noisier than my previous Bosch shredder but much more effective, producing finely shredded material suitable for composting. Competitive price and first rate service from the retailer.

Instruction manual hard to follow, but once assembled it worked a treat! Managed to cope with relatively wet material and dryer prunings. I now have some good composting material.

We purchased the shredder because we were feeling overwhelmed by garden waste. It has already eaten through a massive pile of cuttings and judging by the weight in the green bin it has compressed them much better then we have ever done before. It is happiest dealing with long stems and long thin branches. Small twigs seem to turn sideways and clog it up if mixed with leaves and forced in too quickly. It's very quiet compared to a petrol shredder and easy to quickly set up and use. I would recommend it.

Love it shredded up branches well nice and clean

It's very top heavy when assembled and with its narrow wheelbase is somewhat unstable to move around. It's not a patch on its superior 20 year old predecessor (ATX2200HP now in its death throes) and in comparison, requires a lot of effort to feed in material for shredding. The output is thus far of acceptable quality to go into my compost bin to rot down for garden mulching.

Service provide by Tooled-up very good - next day delivery. Good price too. The machine is really easy to use and shreds well. I had hoped it would shred slightly finer than it does however it will still compost down quicker than left as branches and it avoids smelly bonfires which nobody likes!

Only tried it once but so far so good

Excellent shredder, heavy duty, very efficient. Bought this product as my son-in-law has one and have previously tried it out.

Excellent product, highly satisfied, zips through branches with ease. Great company to deal with, product arrived next day

An excellent product which does exactly what it says. Quiet, easy to use and good size collection bin. Very lucky to find tooled-up.com, very good service with great communication and fast delivery to Ireland. The best price by far, and comes with free loppers, safety glasses, lubricant.

Delighted with my purchase, great value and bang for your buck. Had an issue with the first machine that was delivered which had to be returned, absolutely no fuss with customer service organising the pick up and delivery of a replacement to Ireland ( a massive thank you to Maisie who helped me with that). She was very prompt and professional with all correspondence. Have used my Bosch twice in the garden getting about 12 bucket loads of garden wastes far and no issues. It's a great machine and can't recommend it highly enough, went through all the branches and greenery that I threw at it. Well done Tooled-Up on a great shopping experience and backing it up with excellent customer service. Will be ordering again, Neil

Haven't had much opportunity to use it yet, but so far it seems tough and has not blocked up. I got it to replace an impact shredder which constantly needed its blades sharpened, which was always a hassle as the hex nuts holding them in usually burr off, requiring drilling out. The most noticeable difference is that the chopped bits are much larger than the impact shredder, which chewed everything into mulch. The Bosch leaves long twiggy bits with leaves on, and chews up wood into bigger chunks, so it is not really usable as mulch, but it will be fine for composting. It gobbles up a fair amount each time (much more than the impact shredder) and it doesn't seem to be stressed. The prodder could be a touch longer I think, just to make sure bushy bits get picked up by the turbine blade. The machine is heavy, and top heavy, but it is moveable OK. The bin is useful, but it needs shaking every so often to distribute the contents. It is not very well fitting, but it works fine. So far, I am happy with it, which is good, considering its price compared to other options!

It's slow and the basket could be bigger as lots of reviewers have correctly pointed out. Some people say it topples over easily when moving - that can be true, but you just have to use the handholds correctly and not be too impatient. Otherwise it's pretty good. Saves a lot of time if like me you had to cut all your branches manually and then put in bags to get in brown bin or take to tip. Now I shred it and can even compost it. Produces smallish chips of branches and you get a decent, compact mass which certainly makes it easier if you're going to the tip. Saved me a lot of time and looks solid enough for years of reliable usage.

Great shredder. Does exactly what its sold to do. It arrived quickly and was the best price I could find delivered to Ireland. As per a number of other reviews it did arrive with a broken wheel. However, a replacement was sent out no bother from Tooled up.

Malcolm Davies 14/02/2018 15:27:03

Excellent machine. Strong safety features. Powerful chipper and shredder. Does chip 45mm timber. Does shred ivy, laurel, honeysuckle etc. Not afraid of hard work at all.

Steve 08/10/2017 16:24:10

Works well, chomps through all I have given it. A few wood chunks tend to get caught in centre of turbine that can be cleared at the end of a session. Overall well pleased
