First impression of the box:
The chopper is much bigger than the usual knife chopper for his performance. Only something beefy it acts, but takes up very little space. The top can be stowed in a space-saving pot, which is very convenient store around him, for example, in the winter.
Operation:
+ The chopper has just 3 buttons, one for Forwärts, reverse and stop. Simple and effective.
+ The same applies to the assembly. This requires that you take only the top part of the pot, put on top and tighten it with a single screw.
Operation:
Miscellaneous chopped:
+ Single knots: No problem, until 3 or 4 cm in reasonably fresh chopped. The great thing is that you can simply plug in a long road of thick velvet branches and leaves and the chopper that pulls itself gradually. This saves scary time because you already prepare in peace for the next branch. The course does not always work perfectly (depending on the nature and growth of the branch) but saves time compared with scary knife choppers where you have to hold each branch. Over time, you also learn that branches can be introduced and which you have quite as trim for the unit they complete feeding alone possible.
+ Fir branches: Here he is doing something serious, like all shredders. Nevertheless, he bites through and made an effort. You have to alternate may If too many needles are retracted. I then make a branch of fir and a Laubast alternately so that no needles can clog inside.
+ In Blockade: The comes here once before, but relatively rare. Simply rewind button press and after 10 seconds the chopper is free again. Easy and fast as it gets.
+ Volume: through the turbine plant, which rotates relatively slowly the shredder is relatively quiet. Only a slight whine and squeal sometimes a little disturbing.
+ Amount and throughput: The cutting turbine rotates relatively slowly and the chopper "Knurpst" Haps Haps for through the branches. Rather slowly but surely and with a lot of strength. The fact that you can just plug in and go away long branches or insert several branches at once creates the chopper in a short time very large amounts. I have not tried it yet, but I would have to chop no concerns with this unit even a wooden broomstick, so strong it affects.
+ The adjustment of the roller is necessary from time to time and is easily done with a lateral adjustment during operation. Duration about 20 seconds.
Two small downer course there are:
-The Ejection is compared with a knife chopper rather coarse. Individual branches are processed to approximately 8mm thick slices. If the branch 4cm thick is about 4x0,8cm big the disc in the ejection. However, if you look closely, you can see that each wooden wheel is broken in itself dozens of times - That's great for composting but by the chopped material may appear at first glance somewhat coarse. For me, however, that does not matter.
-When Dragging, especially through a meadow very shaky, so he auschaukelt very quickly. This may sound picky, but a device in this price and performance class that is simply not appropriate that the chopper falls sideways if one drags every 3 meters behind him.
Conclusion:
Those looking for an easy to use and very powerful machine to shred large volumes cut and also to the appearance of the sputum puts less value, which takes place in this unit a robust and hard-working colleagues who saves gardening much easier and a lot of time and work. I hope I'm going for many more years to work with them, because the work is so really fun.
