Costumer Critiques
This is an remarkable shredder. The machine is so considerably better than the other individuals I have owned.
I claim to be an knowledgeable shredder user - I have had numerous machines over a beneficial number of years. For me the concerns to overcome are blockages when feeding material by way of (my last shredder, an Alko New Tec 2500R, was dreadful for this), wear on the blades reducing efficiency, and noise.
In deciding on this shredder I took in to account that it was given the thumbs up by Which? in November 2007, and had a extremely positive write-up on the "fredshed" web-site, a initial-rate source of independent advice. I ought to endorse what Fred says about keeping the blade sharp:
"Take care with what you put in the shredder and particularly do not get ANY soil in it. With the high speed even a compact quantity of soil acts like an abrasive and promptly blunts the blade."
The machine is the most beneficial one I have had. It is nicely created and constructed and also particularly effective. The blade wears well (if you adhere to the suggestions above and also make sure no stones come across their way in to the machine) and is a bit less costly than most brands to replace. It is the quietest machine I have made use of.....but almost certainly could still annoy the neighbours if run at unsociable hours. The preferred thing for me is that it is not prone to blocking. If utilised sensibly, with the assist of the wide prodder, you can easily go entire sessions without having a blockage.
The collection bag offered as an accessory is not actually essential. A substantial plastic crate/storage box does just as well in receiving the shreddings to the compost heap.
To appreciate this machine you need to have to have tried some of the others. I suggest it to anyone considering getting a shredder to support manage their garden waste.
Bosch AXT Rapid 2200 - Electric Shredder
Some rapid notes for a purchaser to look into: The directions are highly simple with images only. Any text is primarily devoted to normal sense electrical safety. Construct high quality is adequate for the job. On lightweight hedge cuttings (and no doubt quite a few other varieties of garden waste) it worked fine. Only tiny amounts can be put through at a time. The 'resulted trimmings' were modest. Immediately after about an hours use it started to jam (easy to open and clear) simply because the blade was blunt already. This is pretty much the downside of the shredder. It is only appropriate for exceptionally light use with absolute minimal amounts of waste to shred, unless you wish to buy replacement blades by the dozen. It would have been a fine obtain had it not been for this and I would advise picking a model which can cope with at least average amounts of shredding prior to getting to buy any spares or 'consumable items'. This 1 is a waste of income with an high priced on going operating price.
FOOTNOTE: I telephoned Bosch to comment on the short life of the blade. They insisted the shredder was taken to our nearest dealer who, fortunately was just up the road. It was thought a complimentary new blade would be supplied. The dealer was told to return the complete machine back to Bosch. About a week later the dealer rang to say a brand new replacement was prepared to collect. This shredder seems identical but it has currently shredded over twice the amount of garden waste, some of it a tiny tougher than previously shredded and the blade is nevertheless going powerful without having all the chips in it as with the initial model. Probably they have had a batch of faulty blades? Not such a poor purchase immediately after all. There were no charges whatsoever for the replacement shredder.
