Garden electric branch chopper: rating of the best models

Garden waste is a headache for all gardeners. Branches, shrub cuttings, tops and other waste from activities create a huge problem. To do this, you have to look for a large place where to put all the “goods” or take out the garbage. But this option is too troublesome. It is much easier to purchase an electric branch shredder. It operates from a power outlet and is convenient for processing various types of waste.

Rating of garden shredders

I would like to note that a waste heater powered by electricity is very convenient. Especially if there is no need to move it across a huge area. By placing it outside, in close proximity to an outlet, or using a carrier, you can quickly and easily chop up all the accumulated garbage in the area.

There are petrol and electric models on the market. The first option is good if you need to clean large areas. It works autonomously, while the tank is refilled.

We suggest considering a small rating of electrical devices for grinding waste:

1. BOSCH AXT 25D;
2. CHAMPION SH250;
3. DDE SH 2540;
4. AL-KO MH 2800;
5. PATRIOT PT SE24;

Each model differs in technical characteristics and performance.

BOSCH AXT 25D

The device has an impressive cost, but its performance fully justifies the price. The shredder can process old branches, trimmed tops of bushes and trees, grass and other waste.It turns unwanted waste into compost and mulch.

Works with a milling chopping system, which copes well even with thick branches. The body is made of durable plastic and is not subject to corrosion. The throughput is 175 kg/h. The device operates from a regular 220 Volt outlet and turns on automatically only after connecting the grass catcher. Engine power – 2.5 kW.

CHAMPION SH250

A relatively inexpensive, lightweight and mobile device. With the help of two wheels and the lightweight design, the device can be moved to any place. Motor power is 2.5 kW, large container for loading branches.

However, the model has significant disadvantages:

• does not chop thick branches;
• does not accept branches with twigs; they must be removed before loading;
• when working with dry waste, knives quickly become dull;
• the wheels wear out when they come into contact with the body material;
• has a short cord.

Otherwise, for processing small, fresh garbage, this is an excellent option for a summer residence.

DDE SH 2540

A small, compact and mobile device that does not require special storage space. With the help of wheels you can move around the site. The engine power is 2.5 kW. Suitable for working in a small area, at an amateur level.

The device is equipped with a safety system that prevents overload.

Along with the advantages, there are a large number of disadvantages. For example, the case material is fragile and can be easily damaged during operation. There is also no protection against accidental launch. The device has low power and creates a lot of noise.

AL-KO MH 2800

This garden shredder is convenient for working in large areas. Has a spacious container. Equipped with wheels, which makes it easy to move.The device also has protection against accidental starting, power surges, and automatically turns off in the absence of current supply.

The only drawback is its heaviness. But this problem will not be an obstacle for real gardeners who require regular waste recycling.

PATRIOT PT SE24

An excellent solution for destroying thin branches and large quantities of dry leaves. He deals with them quickly and without problems. Lightweight, with a plastic body, moves with wheels, and has a fairly powerful 2.4 kW motor.

Equipped with overload protection. At the same time, the device is noisy, cannot grind large and medium-thick sections, there is no collection and protection against accidental start-up.

How to choose a garden branch shredder

Experienced gardeners advise paying attention to several indicators that will determine the price category and models in a particular segment. So, before purchasing we consider:

• Purpose of the device. It is important to process thick branches with twigs or only dry leaves and tops.
• Engine type. Gasoline models are considered professional; electric models are more often used for summer cottages and gardens.
• Type of cutting equipment. Think about the recycling structure you ultimately need.
• Safety. Is protection against overload of electrical networks, prevention of accidental start-up or other functions of the device important?

Do not forget also about the convenience of the design. If the area is large, the shredder will have to be connected to a carrier and moved from place to place. To achieve this, the device is equipped with comfortable wheels and is made of lightweight plastic.
