Electric Garden Shredder

ArsenalFC

I'm looking for a garden shredder but have no idea which one is good quality. Anyone know good ones about that have low noise and can shred 25mm. Got about £100-£150 to spend.

Any offer on this or the best time to buy it when there might be an offer. Thanks.

My parents have just bought this one from Screwfix - it seems to fits your requirements.

We SO need that Thanks button back ...

Anyway, have you been there when your parents have used it? Just wondered how noisy it was - although as our neighbours seem to have bought a lawnmower which would wake the dead I'm not sure why I'm worried! :rotfl:

Well, I took the plunge and ordered that Ryobi from Screwfix, and I am almost grateful to the thieving toerags who nicked our previous one! Don't remember what make that one was, but the Ryobi knocks spots off it!

It's quiet (comparitively!), blasts through our leylandii cuttings, and is only defeated by the laurel if I put through any bits which are too knobbly! Even then it doesn't complain too much, a bit of prodding and poking and off it goes again! With the previous one we seemed to spend more time taking it apart and clearing blockages than we did shredding!

I filled a whole bag with shreddings in just 20 minutes! WITHOUT breaking into a sweat, ReluctantSpender! :rotfl:

(Mind you it did take me a couple of hours to put the thing together! The diagrams left a little to be desired, and didn't correspond with the written instructions, but it was pretty self-evident really!)

Only downside is that it is VERY heavy!

Even if the replacement blades are very pricey, I think it will be A Good Buy.

And Screwfix delivered it the day after I ordered it! So no complaints there either.
