Eco-Shredder ES1600 14 amp Electric Chipper / Shredder / Mulcher (Lawn & Patio)

I have had my electric Eco-shredder/chipper/mulcher for about one year. I use it for my vegetable garden waste, Fall leaves, and small branches from my trees and shrubs. The key to this product running well is to keep the items small (1/2"), feed the machine very slowly, and take care not to put wet debris into the hopper. This machine will clog easily, so it requires patients to let the debris clear before adding more.Finally, the blades must be sharpend at the end of each days use. It takes some time to disassemble, sharpen, and reassemble. The Eco-shredder is a little electrically run machine that will do what it is advertized to do...don't expect more.
