Branch thickness and the power to feed it · review
A light 15-amp chipper with a 12-gallon bag and 2-year warranty, for $110. Only 2 were left when we read it.
Westinghouse gets a 1.7-inch capacity and a bag into a $110 chipper. The 2-year warranty beats most of the budget rivals.
Stock was thin, and the weight differs by 1.6 pounds between sections of the listing.
Wear eye and hearing protection, feed material only with the supplied push stick or paddle, and never reach into the hopper. The manual sets the limit on what the machine can take.
Prices quoted in this text are dated readings and can differ from the live price in the buy box.
