AIVOLT Wood Chipper Shredder 1800w Electric Leaf Mulcher Shredder with Collection Bag 1.8-inch Cutting Diameter 15-Amp for Mulching, Composting and Yard Cleanup

I was missing hardware, and aftercare customer service saved the day and took care of it immediately. I would buy and recommend AIVOLT in the future.I purchased the shredder, chipper for my hot 3 bin composting. During late spring I needed more browns and wanted to be able to shred cardboard boxes. The opening for this is about 6” (150mm). I set up my table saw to run strips of cardboard to fit and the shredder seemed to perform better when cardboard was large enough to be folded over slightly on the ends. I did jam it up a few times by pushing it through the blades too fast. Be careful with that because the blade area will be very hot and the blades are very sharp. Use something like a screwdriver to pull jammed cardboard out of blades. It came with replacement blades that might be double edged, I forget, haven’t needed them yet. It’s not quite as loud as my table saw. The dogs, ducks, goose, chickens, rooster did not seemed bothered by what I was doing. Putting it together was easy and it’s pretty sturdy for my needs. I haven’t sent branches through it yet, but I did put Kale, carrots, and other food scraps through it to speed up the composting process. For this I used the bag which was tricky but doable and the wet foods built up in the machine a little bit as was expected, but I’ll continue using it in these ways.It rolls well, the extension cord never came out on its own, and it about the size of my Ryobi pressure washer, so I can keep it in the small tool sheds or corner of the garage. It’s a pretty small footprint and light enough to be lifted if needed.

I got the AIVOLT 1800W electric wood chipper for regular yard maintenance, and it works better than I expected. It easily handles branches up to 1.8 inches and turns leaves and small limbs into nice mulch for composting. The motor is strong for an electric model, and it’s much quieter than a gas-powered chipper, which is a huge plus for me.The collection bag is a nice bonus—it keeps things neat and makes cleanup super easy. It’s lightweight enough to move around the yard but still feels sturdy. Great for anyone with a small to medium yard looking to cut down on yard waste. Highly recommend it for home use!

The media could not be loaded. Small but powerful, the 4 stars is because it is noisy, sounds like a jet engine and be careful when putting branches in, they can snap back, must use protective gear. Overall it is a great machine, easy to operate, open and clean. Would recommend to anybody that wants to economize in yard bags.

This was the most worthless piece of equipment I've ever purchased. First of all, the hopper is very tiny so you can't fit much into it. It couldn't handle more than one or two small sticks at a time, and it takes hard pushing to get them into it. Then, after a half hour of work we got less than 2 gallons of wood chips. It does not work at all on leaves. Even if you can get them inside it doesn't chop them. I can't figure out what you would practically use this for. If you have that small of an amount of sticks it's easier to bag them and throw them away, or toss them into a compost pile. Mechanically it's fine. It assembles easily and the motor works. It's built sturdily and is light & easy to move around. It only requires a two-prong extension cord.

I've already used this chipper four times. It has saved me a ton on yard waste bags alone. Now I have decent wood chips that I can use to accent my garden. Very durable. Good size for what I need. And the design is stable and safe. Very happy with my purchase.

I purchased this so I could stop throwing out yard waste and turn it into mulch for the garden. Several months later and I'm honestly shocked it's still alive after all I've thrown at it. During one incident, I went a little crazy after buying some long arm pruners and cut off a few hundred pounds of wood off the maple tree in my front yard. Not sure what I was thinking, but I was there for 3 days chipping wood. I thought for sure it would kill this thing, but it handled it like a champ. I've used it several times since and gotten a lot of good mulch out of it. It's nice to throw fresh mulch in the garden and not have to mess with weeds. I will be using it quite a bit here before spring starts to trim down another few trees/bushes. Seeing I've gotten so much use out of it, I'd say it's a great value. It does clog up once in a while, but it's easy to open and fix. Def get some ear protection, because it's not quiet :) Get one and get to chipping!
