They&#8217;re very reliable and have a very long working life, which is just what you want from any garden shredder! This electric machine has the ability to shred twigs and branches up to 40mm in diameter, which is all an added benefit of the 2500 watt motor\u00a0incorporated\u00a0within. All chippings are collected in the very large 62 litre container, which is incredibly\u00a0manageable\u00a0and easy to empty.

The large self feeding chute allows very easy feeding of all materials when wanting to shred, and blockage free work is always ensured by its conical anti-blockage chute featured within. Obviously being a large garden machine, having safety features is key, and the GE 250 has electromechanical safety locking, so that when the chute is removed, the safety lock with large rotary switches prevents the machine from starting. \u00a0It&#8217;s easy to use with an innovative control panel, with a key pad and operating indicator. At a greater price of \u00a3379.00, it really is worth the extra money, just for the sheer greatness of this machine. It really is a product with a long lasting life and packed full of modern features.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, a brilliant petrol shredder that we would\u00a0recommend would be be the \u00a0<span style=\"color: #008000;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Eliet Primo Petrol Chipper Shredder<\/span><\/span>. This is one of the best shredders on the market. As well as its excellent performance, it provides a whole load of other features and benefits. It has an incredibly wide feeding aperture, ergonomic feeding hopper, transport wheels, and a truly spacious collection bag. What makes this shredder one of a kind is the way it cuts the wood. The chipper\u00a0technology\u00a0exploits the weakness of wood by cutting with the grain, and the high quality blades cut into the garden waste like like hatchets. The blades repeat their chipping cycle over a thousand times a minute which results in chips that are perfect for a mulching layer on your compost heap.
