Excellent piece of Teutonic turbine technology. Copes with both thick woody stems and bushy greenery well. Could be easier to move around and rather strnge that the plastic "prodder" is too long, I took the end off mine almost immediately

So far have used the machine for a total of 4hrs. Seems to be doing a first rate job though one would wish the stuff would go through more quickly. Cannot compare with other machines currently available so cant judge whether it is fast, slow or middling. It did clog up at one point but this was more through my lack of experience than the fault of the machine. Important to look down inside the feeder hole and make sure you can see through the revolving cutting cone from time to time. If you are having trouble feeding stuff through stop the machine and unclog the inside of the cone. The integral shredded material storage box below the revolving cutters (which has to be in place for the machine to work)is a superb design feature. The top part of the machine (feeder and handle) can easily be removed and stored in this box to make the machine more compact for storage). This is a sturdy machine which some may feel to be on the heavy side if you need to lift it into a car, say, but I see that as a positive point. Certainly, this piece of German engineering is a case of 'Vorsprung durch Technik' to coin a well used phrase! This is a workhorse for a bigger garden. It is expensive but you get what you pay for!

Have only used it once so far, but it is quiet and powerful. Dealt with a large holly bush and Leylandi easily, up to it's maximum cutting thickness.

I have been a little underwhelmed, particularly considering the cost, of this machine. Although this is a lovely quiet machine which pulls through everything you feed it, it does not cut wood fine enough to compost. Cuts to approx 15mm lengths which is fine for reducing the volume to take to the tip. Fine branches from weeping willow for example tend to wind around the cutting wheel and not get chopped at all. I am comparing this to my previous sub £100 machine, which chopped everything very finely.

I bought this shredder to replace my ancient (~15yrs) ATCO which had eventually died and I expected this to be more of an improvement than it has been. It's fine on woody material but not so good on weeds and other green material - you need plenty of woody material to push the other stuff through. It clogs up when the bucket is too full, but you can't easily see when that's going to be. It's top heavy and unstable when being dragged across rough ground. The standout feature for me is that it's easy to take the top off to unjam it when it becomes clogged . I've only had it a month but the build quality looks OK and the Bosch guarantee is a plus.
