There should be by no means the impression that the TC would digest everything, as it was said in another review. Its field of application is practically not about a good! classic rolling chopper out.
Its boundaries are:
1) moist perennial average, wet leaves: no chance of the unit plugged immediately (read: the Häckselmatsch remains in the cone-shaped blade turbine sticking), and the end is most likely a fully broken pusher (bad design). Within certain limits, you can alleviate the problem by alternating dry and woody material nachschiebt).
2) dry leaves: is practically not crushed, would also take forever. Too bad, hope to finally have a solution to the in uncrushed state law kompostierresistente oak and beech foliage is in vain.
3) elastic twigs: Can easily in the space above the turbine cross put and are then not fed. That makes some work, but goes.
Taking into account the above and the expectations adjusts accordingly, the device is quite a good recommendation.
So who needs a new chopper and is willing to spend a little more for quality, should pick up the TC (and assume that the red plastic plug has a fairly short half-life. My has already caught it at the first plug, and I use it shortened now and jumped on.)
But anyone who already has a good classic rolling chopper and the money has not just stand in bags outside the door, makes nothing wrong if he remains in his unit.
