Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

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.
