 Nice, but don't be in a hurry December 1, 2008
jmh (Illinois USA)
I've used this chipper/shredder three times, each time at least an hour. The good news: it does a nice job shredding leaves and chipping small branches. The bad news: it can take a long time to shred many leaves. A number of reviewers have commented about the machine jamming. I, too, found that to be a problem, particularly at first until I became familiar with the peculiarities of the product. The chute for accepting leaves is not very big and it is easy to get in too much of a hurry and jam in more leaves that the machine can handle. Once I learned to take my time, I didn't have any more jamming problems. Jams aren't particularly difficult to clean out either. A number of other reviewers have also complained of the difficulty of putting the machine together. I have the mechanical aptitude of a walnut, but I didn't find it any more difficult to assemble than any thing else. The McCulloch does seem solid and well made. I anticipate it lasting. If you have a big yard with lots of leaves, you should probably look for something with more capacity. If, on the other hand, you have a smaller yard with fewer trees, or you can take your time, then this machine could be right for you.

This machine is great for my needs and yard. br /Are there features I'd like to have? Sure, but br /the size of my yard does not warrant the additinal cost br /for them. I would reccomend it to anyone with a small to br /medium yard. br /
 Great! Better than Expected, Too! November 28, 2008
Simon (MD, USA)
This chipper/shredder is great. It was much heavier (like a drill press or other heavy power tool) than I expected. It does takes one strong man or two people to assemble it. It wasn't as difficult to assemble as some people had said, but that may be because of our experience in putting together power tools like table saws, band saws and router tables. It cost more than I had hoped to spend, but that was because it's really a solid, well-constructed machine. We've had no problems other than occasional clogging like a lawn mower, but that's solved in the same fashion: by removing the top and scraping out the wet debris. We mainly use this to shred relatively dry leaves into tiny pieces, but small (1" or smaller diameter) garden stalks and smaller diameter twigs can be fed through with no problems. The most important thing is to avoid trying to feed wet leaves or too many leaves at a time or to put larger than 1/4'-1/2" dry branches through the shredder. In addition, the twigs need to be stripped off the branches and fed through separately. I'm glad I chose this shredder over the cheaper string shredder. It's more versatile, and we've had no difficulty in being able to shred everything we want to mulch.

The chipper arrived on time and in good condition. Once we assembled it, we gave it a good tryout. It works great on sunflower stalks and small woody branches, as well as leaves. And it has a number of very effective safety features. I'm very glad that I will be able to mulch a lot of garden and yard waste and put it to good use, rather than sending it to the landfill.

George Wagner (Baltimore)
The chipper does a fine job with branches less than an inch thick. When it jams, however, removing the upper part of the shredder is aggravating. A better design would incorporate a quick release. Aside from that, I am very pleased with its chipping and shredding ability.
