Wen 41119 Electric Wood Chipper and Shredder, 15-Amp, Black

Something Finally Worth 5 Stars! It came the next day! It was very well packaged. It went together in about 5 minutes. It started immediately! I ran it for two hours nonstop (except for five minutes to clean out the hopper once) working on a huge pile of branch trimmings and it worked perfectly. I then mulched the entire garden with my chipper’s output. It’s strong and durable, as well as light to carry. The push stick works great but most of the time the branches were self fed. Excellent safety features. I’m impressed. I can highly recommend. UPDATE! So, I'll admit that the second time I went to start up this chipper, I half expected it not to work not because of anything that happened the first time I used it, but because so much stuff out there works once and that's it. Well, I'm happy to say that not only did it start right up on Day 2, this thing is a glutton for work. I ran it for 2 non-stop hours until I ran thought a pile of sticks from trimming all the bushes in my yard and picking up the sticks from the neighbor's tree. It works great! It takes pretty big sticks (no bigger than what the instructions say) and chomps through them like they weren't even there. In fact, it loves the big ones. It like they clean it out the inside! The drier the sticks, the better. Trim off the side sticks as close to the main branch as you can so you don't have to try to twist it through the system, but if something gets stuck, the push through wand works great and lets you keep all your digits if you are. partial to them. They do help for counting to 10 without having to remove one's shoes and socks first! If you have any side sticks from the main branch, you'll find bits of small sticks in with the wood chips, but I kind of like them as they're biodegradable. Mother nature rocks! It makes its own stuff recyclable . But, if it's a dry stick, you'll end up with some great wood-like chips of a variety of small sizes to fit nicely around the garden plants better than the "mulch" from Lowes and Home Depot where the wood chips either float away or are so large you can't see the plants. In other words, I love this thing! Oh, I don't use the bag that came with the chipper for live chipping. It's a nice bag, but sharp pointy stuff tears through most every type of bag. So, I use a small Amazon box for collecting the chips and then I put the bag on to help prevent any leftover debris leaving a trail as I walk through the house to the garage or walking on the sidewalk to the garage as when my wife is home she reminds me she prefers I don't bring electric or gas-powered tools through the house. I hook the bag to the side clips and run the cord through the handles to hold it on. OH, again, the clip to hold the push-through tool doesn't hold very securely (I think). So, I put the tool in the opening in the handle. It will fall out there, too, if you turn the chipper upside down, but it stays in place during normal use and it keeps you from having to put it in your front pocket and having people ask you all day, "Are you happy to see me or is that the push-through tool that goes with the chipper?" I don't mind the questions, really. I've met a lot of nice people although the amount of drive-through and walk-through traffic in the neighborhood seems to be increasing quite a bit. Everyone wants to see my chipper and if I have the push-through tool in my pocket or on the chipper handle, I guess. I don't blame them. I love my chipper and my tool both! They both work incredibly well and result in tremendously satisfying experiences of jobs well done.

First of all, I am very happy with this product and how it performs... I bought the WEN 41130 Chipper and Shredder four months ago to replace a 5-HP beast of a chipper that got to be too much for me. The WEN works really well for what I now need to maintain our property. It works entirely differently than the gas unit. The gas powered chipper didn't need to be sharp it just used brute force to knock everything to pieces. The WEN is much lower torque but high speed and requires sharp blades and is more of a finesse machine. I managed to get some small gravel in with my branches when I first got it and that was the end of my work period. The gravel immediately dulled the blades and presto, no more chipping until it got new blades. But its easy to change blades. It takes me about 20 minutes and they're reasonably priced. They last pretty long, but you don need to have them in stock as they will get dull even with clean use. So now I'm very careful about what gets in. Of course it's slower than my old beast but is so light and needs no oil or gas, and doesn't weigh a ton. It does what it says it will in terms of what it can chip. It doesn't however like really twisty or wood with big turns. They won't feed well. for me it works just right and the price is amazing given the really smart design. I have several WEN tools and I'm happy with them all.

Works extremely well when used for what it's designed for. Put in sticks that are dry and between half inch and an inch and a half and makes great wood chips for mulching. Freshly cut green wood doesn't work well and not designed for leaves and etc. Overall performance is good. Only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is because the plastic seems flimsy.

Wow! For the price this little electric chipper can do the work. I have a small backyard orchard and had LOTS of smaller branches that needed chipping and this handled it all. As long as the branches fit in the hole this will handle it easily. You can't stuff it full and expect results. So, patience is key to feeding it moderately. Also let the machine grab and pull the branches down into it. No need to push them down in there, if you do you will jam the machine. Easy and convenient to use, light weight. Can wheel it around my entire yard. Noisey, so ear protection is a good idea. Cut quality is excellent.

La verdad funciona mejor de lo que esperaba, decían que por su alto requerimiento de amperaje podría calentar los cables de alimentación o requerir instalación especial, pero no tuve ese problema, una extensión normal no se calienta. Genera excelente composta y toda rama dentro del diámetro de una pulgada la tritura sin problemas, hasta busco ramas del árbol del vecino para triturar. El único detalle es que ramas demasiado pequeñas y delgadas no las tritura pero esas la puedes dejar así.

They conveniently forget to mention that it needs 110V supply. You need a step up transformer. Probably this vital information is hidden intentionally, to sell in India. Be ready to fork out another Rs.10000, for a good transformer.

I am so happy with this product. It suits all my gardening needs. It has such a fine shred I've been making my own animal bedding with it. It will even do soft materials as long as you have some sticks with it. I have had zero issues with things getting stuck. I am always very gentle and dont yank on anything. I turn it off every few mins to let it have rest. You should never run a shredder for any long period of time. I've done tonnes of material with this for a couple months now using this strategy and I've had zero issues.

Working fast and easy to use.
