Eco-Shredder ES1600
|
I carefully researched a shredder for our small, brush-inundated yard. We had not one, not two, but three GIANT brush piles and we knew we had to make an investment. This was the best rated shredder I could find under $1000 dollars. Thing is, this thing is WAY under a 1000 dollars.
It doesn’t have the power of a gas model, sure. But that means it doesn’t shake itself apart like some of the popular gas models.
The Eco-shredder has been great so far. I bought it here and it was delivered quickly. It is very easy to put together– it is pretty much assembled in the box– you just put on the top chute, the wheels, and the handle.
It has a good amount of power. It only jams when fed 1 inch or larger branches with knots, and those are really easy to clear with the included tool that makes the motor turn manually. It is very quiet for a shredder. It appears to be very safe, also. It comes with a replacement set of blades for when the time comes, and all the tools to replace those blades.
You have to pre-process large branches, but it’s SO worth it. Already one brush pile is gone! And it makes lovely mulch!
I’ve had it for three months and so far, there have been no problems. I’ll review it again if anything changes.
One thing that I do need to mention is that the box says there is a tamper included but there is not. And the instruction manual is very light, but I’ve had no problems.
