Summary: Does what it says it does
Comment: I bought mine a few days ago. I had been looking for some time to get one so that I can shred all my garden waste, especially branches. So far so good. Easy to assemble and to use. It can get jammed a little sometimes, but if you stick to putting no less than 4cm wide bits, you should be fine. It's not as loud as I expected it to be, but still be considerate with your neighbours when using it. And try and be green! turn it off while you're not shredding. Be careful not to put any cardboard as I tried to shred some and it got stuck inside, I had to open the whole thing up to take it out.

Summary: Does the job well
Comment: We bought this following a Which? review saying it was the most efficient garden shredder they had tested - we have not been disappointed. In use it has shredded everything we put into it. Branches up to 4cm were sliced into 1mm chips; leaves were chopped into small pieces. With some smaller branches, particularly green ones, the shredder removed the leaves and left a few twigs about 10cm long, although most were chopped into tiny pieces.
It's not particularly noisy when switched on, but with harder and bigger pieces of wood it was noisier, especially when a bit of wood would rattle around inside the machine before it could be shredded. I didn't feel it would be necessary to wear ear defenders for temporary usage, nor loud enough to feel that the neighbours would complain about the noise. Given that it's almost half the price of Bosch's quiet shredder the HP, this machine is very good value. I would recommend wearing thick gardening gloves as it could snatch branches.
Assembling it took about 5 minutes. This was a matter of attaching the wheels and their frame and working out where the supplied allen key is supposed to be stored.
We also bought the partnering storage bag from Amazon. It's a bit like the blue storage bags Ikea sell at their checkout desks, except this one's a lot more expensive but of a similar quality and maybe a bit bigger.
