robust device, after first testing I am very satisfied. Chopped as promised well crushed and is ideal for mulching. Even after 2 hours of continuous operation, the device showed no weaknesses. If you get the hang of, and smaller branches and flower cuttings are not a problem. The chopper works with both dry and fresh branches, twigs, etc. Stauch The noise level holds, as promised in boundaries, although that always lies in the eye of the beholder, but I had another device, with the sheer Softly-chopping was nothing to understand. I take off a star because for my taste a safety interlock was too grown. So the device can only be activated if an additional elec. Locking on the rear end of the collection container is closed.

Conclusion: reliable, robust and highly recommended (Bought at plus.online)
