LSRL Garden Shredder 2500W, Silent Crushing Shredder, Adjustable Cutting Size, Max.45mm Capacity, 55L Collection Box, Shredders and Chippers with Transport Wheel

Product Information

Rather considerately of Bosch, this heavyweight model comes ready-built with the wheels already attached, so all you need to do is clip in the top hopper, ensure the 53-litre collection box is properly engaged, switch it on and shred. It’s quite a scary machine, mind, since it literally slices through branches in a violent and exceedingly noisy manner. It also breaks down well for storage, with the funnel slotting upside down into the collection box, which is handy if storage space is limited.

However, if bulk volumes of large and thick woody branches are what you need to shred, then perhaps the Bosch AXT 25 TC shredder would suit you better. But if they could chomp through thicker branches and still produce uniform clippings, these were also suitable for heavy-duty tasks. If you know you’re only going to need the garden shredder for one day, it’s certainly cheaper to hire one.

The best garden shredders should have a cutting width of at least 40 mm , so they can tackle tough branches and trimmings. Value for money: Considered all of the above, plus quality and design, the RRP and length of warranty and availability of spare blades. If you have lighter, fresher branches and twigs to chip, an impact shredder will chop these up easily and quickly.

I have used my own knowledge and experience to sift what I believe to be good information from what I consider to be fluff or simply wrong.

There's a safety flap to protect fingers and the steel blade shreds well, producing fine shreddings. Users queue up to applaud the way this cheap ’n’ chunky chaff chewer gulps down branches up to 40cm in diameter and then farts them out into a large 50-litre box as little wooden chips. For leaves, twigs and palm fronds, flick the switch on the front and shove some greenery into the large opening.Like most rotary shredders this needs more assembly than an impact shredder but it's not complicated to put together and once assembled is sturdy and stable. Now, this will be partly down how fast you load garden waste into the shredder, but mainly down to how well the machine performs under strain.
