Costumer Critiques
It loves challenging woody material up to 1 1/2 inches diameter, you'll struggle to get soft or mainly leafy stuff by way of (which the Rapid doesn't have a difficulty with), but then soft stuff rots down fast adequate anyway so not truly a situation. The 22 25TC has a new type of cutter that is meant to overcome this, but I decided not to be the Guinea Pig and let an individual else attempt out the new technique. Advised by Fredshed, worth a read before you commit to purchasing, if you have got time. It really is the exact same toothed gear against a metal plate in a drum, as on it's predecessor the AXT 2200HP Quiet, but with an extra .3kW's, which you can see in action on YouTube `Best Electric Garden Shredder for Residence use'. That component works well, plenty of torque, and will chew via stuff that cause most/any other electric shredding machine to jam up, the AXT 2200HP Rapid included.
The difference between this a single and it is predecessor is the built in collection box, and why I only gave it 4 stars, once the box gets about 1/2 complete the mulch builds up under the drum and tends to get drawn back into the machine once again, and starts blocking it. It would be far better to let the mulch fall on the ground but you cannot simply do this as with out the box the bottom of the cutter is exposed to children's fingers and dogs noses, and it has a safety transponder in the box that cuts out the motor if it really is not in place. Soft stems have a tendency to come out bruised rather than cut, but if woody material is only chewed and nevertheless in one particular length you have to wind in the metal plate against the drum with the drum turning till you can just hear metal against metal. The Hardened steel cutter will in fact bed into the softer alloy plate, and the cutter is then set. All garden shredder tend to function much better if you put the material via inside a week of it being cut, as woody material dries out it gets much tougher.
I would say obtain the predecessor that doesn't have the collection box if the 2200HP Quiet wasn't more high priced than the newer 25D. Regardless of this the 25D is a really good nicely created, built to final machine, that would eat my prior £90 1600w Performance Power impact shredder for breakfast, it's not excellent, but one particular of the preferred on the market place.
This is a durable, quiet, wonderful shredder as soon as you get the knack of how to use it without clogging it! I'm led to believe that the older model without the box is much less likely to clog (axt 2000?) and newer models could possibly deal with green stuff greater.
This shredder has chomped by way of loads of overgrown material from our garden, and is nevertheless going powerful after 1 year of substantial use (our garden was a bit neglected!). I have used it for extended periods and it has never overheated. It is greatest for woody material, which can be as massive as the manufacturer states (4cm I assume). The feeding funnel prevents you from feeding something too major. Woody stuff is certainly painless to shred and comes out in incredibly small pieces. Greener stuff desires to be put in slowly (a handful at a time for genuinely soft stuff) or it will clogg - it is quicker to consist of woody material with it, to aid it go in. Nonetheless, it comes with a pusher to support it go down in these circumstances, and has a reverse function if all else fails. But you don't definitely will need to shred the leafy stuff, do you? It self feeds in a pretty satisfying way, freeing you to pick up the subsequent batch - so it is seriously superior for lengthy branches/stems.
There is a sizeable box for collecting clippings underneath. Personally I'd prefer not to have this, because when it gets about half complete the clippings pile up and clog the cutting blade. It is effortless to unclog again (wearing gloves, stick your hand up the bottom and pull it out). A safety feature prevents the cog from turning when the box is out of position. Empty th ebox often to steer clear of clogging.
It is really (relatively) quiet, which is a big plus for me. No louder than an electric lawnmower - so I do not really feel self conscious about annoying the neighbours when I use it for an hour or so (some thing I was worried about). This signifies I use it for everything. Downside to this is that, due to the way it works, it is (I expect) slower than the noisier 'Rapid' ones (compare the quoted decibel levels just before shopping for).
The clippings are tiny enough to compost speedily, which is why I purchased it. It makes a awesome compost. In some situations I've utilised them as a mulch/soil improver immediately after 3 months. Fantastic! (Of course, you can use it promptly but I feel specialists advise against this as it is negative for the plants). When the shredder gets 'blunt' all you need to have to do is turn the knob on the side, and then shreddings are cut perfectly once more. (NB I had to do this prior to 1st working with it even although the directions mentioned I shouldn't want to.) You can invest in replacement parts for the 'pressure plate' that is worn away for about £5 when it at some point wears out (apparently just after numerous years) but the cutter is a lot more pricey (£40?) so look following it - don't shred stones and wire!
It is highly heavy (not some thing I take pleasure in wheeling around). The 2 wheels are also very close together so it is prone to falling sideways - especially as the centre of gravity is very high. If you are not particularly robust, or will have to move it up and down numerous actions, get a lighter 1.
In summary, I will in all probability get a unique Bosch shredder when this one particular wears out, due to the clogging and weight matters, but I do not believe that will be for a incredibly long time, and I'm pretty pleased with it in the mean time.
