I have written very few judgments about this chopper, but I'll miss me, also because I had a few days earlier and tried to Bosch AXT25 TC. Unfortunately, after 3 hours each gewerkelt two days, he gave up the ghost. All described "self-healing concepts" were ineffective, the part remained silent and was consequently sent back. Since there is no substitute for storage was, I have first "necessity" (because everything around sprout upwards) the Atika LHF gained in 2800. I am glad - for now 14 days of continuous use, the Bosch had given up the ghost. We have a plot of approximately 9000 m3, with high trees and all the trimmings, a reasonable chopper is a must! The Bosch, still more than twice as expensive !! (460.- Euro 170.- opposite) initially recommended by a valued, well-made impression, nothing wobbles, all high quality, just "Bosch Like" When working on the fall mentioned in other Bosch assessments defects, for me was particularly disturbing, I have to move the part in the garden that the wheel design absolutely no good when he once blocked, but what happened has often is the "reverse" is only partially helpful, unscrewing the roller holds then already - even in time -ziemlich on. Otherwise, he does what he should, but just for a short time was finally permanently closing.
The Atika, allegedly a German product - which is difficult to establish, before the price - makes a first optically "wakeligen-priced" impression. The 4 small screws, with which the heavy engine is mounted on the frame, see anything but reassuring, but obviously they serve their purpose. Now that I have chopped two weeks every day, the apparatus has terrific small made everything I reingesteckt above (added at the beginning he has struck 3 times (but this was because "man" just wanted to try, whether because the description 40 mm diameter not perhaps lie .....)) I would like to give him instead of 5, 6 stars. The chopper is the Bosch in really all respects at least equivalent, in many respects (for example, the wheels are mounted so that it does not fall over when it drags behind him), he is much better. No dropouts when he hangs times is easy to fix the fault. Just buy it, especially if you still attracts also the price into consideration.
