We were there on a permanent suffering, repeatedly driving our garden section to the landfill in the year and ruining car and nervous ... A chopper was needed. Briefed on the Internet. Aha, there are models with roll or blade technology. We chose - also due to the good Amazon reviews - on this roller shredders Atika. Benefits should be: Quiet and virtually maintenance free. Wednesday ordered, delivered Friday. Immediately unpacked and assembled. No 10 minutes later the part was ready and half an hour later our garden waste were history. The ALH 2500 worked reliably and quietly. Turning, push branches into the bay and be happy about the result - no clogging or similar problems. Thin, flexible branches were only partially buckled and squashed but that we can live very well. Amazing how little "Final" remains. The fresh mulch we spread over the beds and that was it. A good investment. Recommended!
