So I forgive 5 stars for this great device. The chopper was delivered very quickly and is super easy to assemble without guidance. Then it came to chopping. I had a lot of fruit tree pruning. He has coped well, especially quiet. One could talk normally while. Thick branches were excellent. The shredded material is crushed. However, it is sufficient for further use. The animals are supposed to also have something to do. It can be good to use as mulch and compost for it was good enough. I had a knife chopper years ago. He was not nearly as good, very loud, constantly sharpen knives and shredding thick branches scarcely. I wanted to have no more time, but I want him not to miss already. Clear Kaufempfehlung.Preis- performance super.
