Reviews for Bosch AXT Rapid 2000 show that there is no ideal electric grinder. So this unit has an insufficient number of knives, because of which thin branches they practically do not grind.

But otherwise, the shredder would cause too much load on the grid. She is already 2 kW. The explanation is also a plastic case - the metal would greatly increase the weight of the device, and the creators needed to achieve its easy transportation.

CHAMPION SH250

CHAMPION SH250

This model is very popular among Russian gardeners and gardeners. This is due to the low cost of the unit. Interestingly, the minimum price tag did not affect the performance of the shredder. The creators were even able to give it an unusually powerful electric motor.

What garden chopper to buy

Strangely enough, but almost all popular grinders work with the help of electricity.Petrol models exist, but they are too bulky, noisy and expensive to be recommended to the ordinary owner of the garden or backyard. Gasoline powered units are designed for utilities or other specialized organizations that require daily grinding of branches and logs.

When choosing a garden shredder, think about what kind of garbage you are going to handle. If you need to get rid of leaves and grass, then in no case do not buy a full-blown garden garbage chopper! Instead, take a look at the grass choppers. Such models are endowed with fishing line, and she copes with a sharp foliage much better than any metal blade. The traditional chopper should interest you only in the case of grinding branches and branches.

Before buying the device, you should ask about the system of knives used in it. Disk somehow cope with grass and leaves. But first of all this unit is designed for grinding not very thick branches.

Much better copes with its task device with a milling system of knives. Inside it are peculiar gears that grind even very thick pieces of wood - almost complete logs. But throwing leaves and small grass inside such a shredder is useless.

Another possibility of the device depends on the power of the installed engine. It is logical that the unit with a 2500 W motor will cope with its task faster than the crumbs with the motor are weaker. But such a monster will weigh much more.
