As gardeners, I have decided for this device. It is stable, handles very sturdy, and does the chopping properly. Only the waste bin for rubbish (I had with other reviews but read and fully taken into account). But I bought a plastic basket at Aldi for 3.99, which is perfect for this. He has a strong power, creates the usual Aster readily. Other convenient features include the wheels, so that it is moving fast. I would recommend this unit to anyone who wants to get started, and only times the usual shrubs and tree has. This one makes nothing wrong.
