Handy sized tool which claims to shred palm fronds. Disappointed when mine jammed on green, leafy sticks and failed to respond to trouble-shooting routine. Replaced cheerfully but new machine failed in exactly the same way within minutes. My money was refunded without a fuss. I'd like to have been more positive!

if you are even THINKING of buying one of these DON'T WAST YOUR MONEY OR YOUR TIME LOOKING AT IT. it does not perform as shown in videos. if I could return mine I would do so right now. for $309 it is a TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY. the money would have been BETTER spent on a new motor for my ROVER mulcher

We purchased this with a few hesitations but were assured it is up to the task for general mulching around the backyard.
What a surprise, it is actually quite for a mulcher and can be used for hours without annoying surrounding neighbours.
This can handle 20-25mm branches with ease, the only item that can block it are long tough grass style plants/leaves.
As with any mulcher just let the machine do the work and do not force it or over load it and you wont have a problem.
We have had this for nearly a year now and has handled everything we have put through it without an issue.
Highly recommended for the price.

Jammed within 10 minutes of purchase on a 30 mm green branch.Then the reverse function didn't work. Unable to remove the branch. The machine was unusable and was returned to the point of sale.
This machine is a poor copy of my old german mulcher machine which lasted 10 years.
Don't waste your time

We have a lot of fallen branches and overgrown bamboo to shred, and this shredder pulverises them into a fraction of the apparent volume. It's very quiet (although not silent) and makes mince meat of any branch (fresh or dead/dry) that fits through the opening.

The unit is quite heavy and feels a bit off-balance when being wheeled around, but at least it does come with wheels and it can be transported easily, however moving it up/down stairs is definitely easier with 2 people.

I have had this for a while.
Pro
I have a lot of palms in the yard. This thing mulches them and I use it in the garden. It has paid for itself in the time I have had it.
Con
The mulch is course due to the technique used. It does not like fresh green waste. It was not expensive, and I will wear it out in another year.

Would I buy another one? Definitely. This one paid for itself.

This is now an essential gardening tool in my back and front yard. I was blown away by how much time and effort it saved me, and how much extra garden waste I could fit into my green bin each fortnight.

If you are looking for petite and attractive mulch for the garden, I would probably steer clear. But if you are currently loathing the idea of standing next to you green waste win with a pair of pruners having to chop everything up to fit in, do yourself a favour and invest in one of these. I just put a 44L flexible plastic tub underneath it to catch what it spits out and tip that into the green waste bin every couple of minutes.

I bought this product to use on my palm leaves and other sticks at a regular property and it did everything $309 at Bunnings can't go wrong. It reduced the mess in my yard from the whole front yard down to a few square metres I chipped it up quite small. So far I've been using it for 5 hours straight and it hasn't broken

Great little shredder which cuts everything I can fit into it.
Does not shred as finely as the other type of chipper, but does not jam as readily as them either., and with a reverse switch it clears instantly too.
With both types of machine selection of the materials is important- material which is soft ant sticky and clings to the cutters will jamb both types.
When I want a fine mulch I just rake out the chippings and run over them with my lawnmower, but what comes straight out of the machine composts OK, if a bit slower than the fine cut stuff..

I tried it and for what Ozito charge, this thing couldn't mulch a thing, even after putting items through two to three times and I followed instructions exactly, no good and a total waste of time. Only good thing is, Bunnings gave my money back no questions, thank you Bunnings.

I have had this for about 9 months. Solid performer, handles branches up to about 1 inch thick and palm fronds with ease.

I have chopped down a few camelia trees and this machine has saved me so much time and effort - it reduces the pile of branches into such a tiny space (about 1/10th the size) and then I can put all the clippings in the green waste bin

My only complaint is one of the plastic wheel fastener clips detached and has gone missing... no spare parts available according to Bunnings. Still fine to use just annoying as one of the wheels could easily fall off when moving it around.

I like this shredder. It is heavy but fairly easy to move around on its wheels. I particularly like its quietness, not silent but not too bad on the ears even without hearing protection. I have used it mainly for huge shreds of bark off messmate trees and it does a good job but the adjustment of the wheel is fairly critical depending on what you are shredding. The manual gives details of how to shred palm fronds and adjustments on the wheel are easily performed by using a provided allen key. Very happy with the shredder and I would recommend it.

Didn’t thing it work that well, but it surprised me. Everything I had went straight through it without many hassles. It only jammed when I tried to put something too big through it. Even after it jammed it had a reverse mode to quickly clear it out. Would definitely reccomend
