after using for first time found any leaves that are damp clog shedder and you must take off the hopper to unclog. Very heavy also and hard to manuver on grass.

Comments about Electric Garden Chipper:
I usually add many items to the compose pile which can grow way too big. What would have been an additional three foot mound was reduced to less than a foot. Naturally it will also break down much faster to the compose I desire. Leaves are chopped coarsely, twigs and small branches are reduced to medium-to-fine grindings. My only concern is that when turned off, the blade slowly spins to the stop. I think there should be some braking mechanism similar to a lawn mower that stops the blade faster. Overall, I am glad I purchased this product.

great for light work such as leaves and prunings, very quiet, doesn't throw mulch all over the place, i actually put it were i want the mulch and just let it fall on the ground and rack out when done. A little jamming with damp leaves but easy to deal with, directions to assemble are not good but found instructions on internet that were great, there was an added insert about assembly that is better than the instruction manual, not much to assemble really just the legs and supports and the top which just sits right on top of motor once legs are on. Very sturdy, does a great job of mulching and chipped up sticks as well as my larger gasoline run unit.

This is my second chipper. Both are running great and allows me to mulch most all of my garden waste. Liked the first one so much, bought another for the lake house.

I saw a similar item at a relative's house in England and immediately tried to find that one, this was the closest in the US. The Pro (Safety) causes the downfall of this product. Because you have to twist down three clams on the chute, you cannot get the blade running while it is open. Unfortunately, these clamps could have been made quick release clamps, but instead screw down and make clearing a jam time consuming and frustrating.
I'm tempted to make my own clamps (if possible). Also, some screws have shaken loose and now I have to hold the top in place to prevent annoying vibration sounds. A lot of maintenance needed without much use.
I'd buy a replacement chipper, but then what do I do with this very very big, awkward product? Who would want this?
It does the job, but was poorly designed.

For living in town with lots of trees and shrubs on our lot, this is the perfect size of chipper. We have used it a couple of times and are very impressed!
