A roller is quiet and slow; blades are fast and loud · review
The only shredder here with a published noise level — 92 dB(A) — on a quiet roller system with reverse and an adjustable counter-plate.
The bottom line The only machine on the loudest shelf of this site to publish a noise figure: 92 dB(A) — and a roller machine, which is the quiet kind. Automatic feed with reverse to clear jams, an adjustable counter-plate so the cut stays clean as the roller wears, a 60-litre bag and 18 cm wheels.
A 2800 W roller shredder with quiet 92 dB(A) operation, stated as ideal for garden waste and branches up to 44 mm. Automatic feed and reverse running prevent blockages, and the counter-plate adjustment keeps the cut clean over time. A 60-litre bag allows continuous work. An integrated overload protection and a safety switch are fitted, with a stable build, a transport handle and 18 cm wheels for moving the machine around the garden.
92 dB(A). Nine machines in this family and this is the only one that publishes a figure.
That matters here more than anywhere else on the site. A garden shredder is the loudest thing a domestic garden sees — louder than a petrol mower, and used in long sessions rather than short ones, usually within earshot of a neighbour.
What goes unsaid in the listing is which decibel: a guaranteed sound power level, marked on the housing by law, or a pressure at a stated position. This page prints the figure and the ambiguity rather than filing it beside something it may not match.
A roller shredder works by crushing material against a fixed plate. The gap between the two is the cut.
Both wear. When the gap opens, the machine stops cutting and starts squeezing, which shows as material that comes out in strings rather than pieces and as a roller that jams more often.
An adjustable plate is the one maintenance operation that keeps a roller shredder working for years, and a machine without one has a fixed working life.
A roller pulls material in by itself, which is the great advantage of the type — you feed the hopper and walk away — and it is also how a forked branch wedges.
Reverse backs the roller off. It turns most blockages into a button press rather than a hopper that has to be opened.
The weight. And the reduction ratio, which decides how often the 60-litre bag comes off.
From 155 € to 199 €, that being the spread across the German, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon stores on the day of the survey.
Listed and unsold: the British Amazon catalogue holds the reference with nobody behind it.

For a shredder, yes — this shelf is the loudest on the site. What goes unsaid in the listing is whether it is a guaranteed sound power level, the figure marked on the housing by law, or a pressure at a stated position. Both are written in dB and they differ by a good deal.
The fixed surface the roller crushes material against. As the roller and the plate wear, the gap between them opens and the machine starts squeezing rather than cutting. An adjustable plate takes the gap back up, which is the single maintenance job on a roller shredder.
It backs the roller off so the trapped material can be pulled out or re-fed. It is not a guarantee against a serious jam, and clearing one still means switching off — but it turns most blockages into a button press.
A garden with neighbours and a lot of hedge trimmings, where the noise and the self-feeding both matter
