Electric garden shredder: a rating of the best models of 2020

Garden waste is a headache for all gardeners. Branches, shrub cuttings, tops and other waste products pose a huge problem. To do this, you have to look for a voluminous place where you put all the "good" or take out the garbage. But this option is too troublesome. It is much easier to purchase an electric branch shredder. It works from an outlet and is convenient for recycling various garbage.

Garden shredders rating

I would like to note that a heat exchanger powered by electricity is very convenient. Especially if there is no need to carry it over a huge area. By exposing it to the street, in the immediate vicinity of the outlet, or using a carrier, you can quickly and easily shred all the accumulated garbage on the site.

There are gasoline and electric models on the market. The first option is good if cleaning is required over large areas. It works autonomously when filling the tank.

We propose to consider a small rating of electrical devices for shredding 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 recycle old branches, cut tops of bushes and trees, grass and other waste. It turns unnecessary waste into a base for composting and mulch.

Works with a milling cutter system that does a great job even with thick branches. The housing is made of durable plastic and does not corrode. The throughput is 175 kg / h. The device operates from a conventional 220 Volt socket, turns on automatically, only after attaching the grass catcher. Engine power - 2.5 kW.

CHAMPION SH250

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

However, the model has significant drawbacks:

• does not grind thick branches;
• does not accept branches with twigs, you need to delete them before uploading;
• when working with dry waste, knives quickly become dull;
• wheels are erased in contact with the material of the body;
• has a short cord.

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

DDE SH 2540

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

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

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

AL-KO MH 2800

This garden shredder is handy for large areas. Has a capacious container. Equipped with wheels, which makes it easy to move. Also, the device has protection against accidental start-up, voltage surges, and automatically shuts off when there is no current supply.

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

PATRIOT PT SE24

An excellent solution for the destruction of thin branches and a large number of dry leaves. He copes with them quickly and without problems. Lightweight, with a plastic body, moves with wheels, has a fairly powerful 2.4 kW engine.

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

How to choose a garden branch shredder

Experienced gardeners are advised to pay attention to several indicators that will determine the price category and models in a particular segment. So, before buying, we consider:

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

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