First of all: Some reviews are incomprehensible to me. The branches were not or are very badly crushed / is not the case with me. The adjustment screw on the side a little grease and set in operation (Info in the operating instructions - can be seen to aluminum chips). Power outages - According to operating instructions not to use long extension cords. With more than 25m a 2,5er vein cable should be used because it works just fine. Apparently teething have been eliminated. (Date of manufacture of my device 07.2013 at a hardware store) No problem with the engine (always consistent noise) No overheating after 2.5 hrs. Continuous operation (incl. 3 cigarette breaks with the engine off). Apparently repaired returns are sold. Processing: It is true by the plastic looks cheap from the chopper. But honestly for 135 Euros, I'm glad that looks the housing cheap and not live inside. If that bothers should take up green choppers with the red writing and again put 300 Euros on it! The assembly Went Potty. As I previously read here is the instructions too complicated. Really Now? 12 parts assemble complicated? Large criticism in the assembly: The screw nuts (was here to read) are cast by wrong was with me no straight screw in the right wheel and the iris (left Impusschraube) possible. With a little tinkering it worked.
The Operation: The contact switches on the collector box is burdensome and very difficult to introduce. I have filled Today 2.5 hrs. Durchgehächselt on the smallest stage (apple tree and quince shrub cuttings), while 360 lt. Bags. The choppers is a real wood eaters.
Conclusion: This device can work well, the interior is high quality even if it looks cheap from the outside. But one (s) wants to get the pruning small and not win a beauty contest.
