A roller is quiet and slow; blades are fast and loud · review
The only listing on this site that states its headline figure is conditional — 76 mm on fresh wood, 45 to 60 mm on hardwood.
The bottom line The most honest listing on this entire site. It states a 76 mm capacity and then explains that the figure assumes fresh or slightly damp wood, straight grain and sharp blades — and that on hardwood the practical capacity is typically 45 to 60 mm. A cutting roller with replaceable blades, a 15:1 reduction and a low-oil alarm.
Every shredder listing in this niche leads with a maximum branch diameter. Not one of them says what that figure assumes — because no standard defines it, and because a smaller number sells less.
This one does:
The stated maximum capacity of 76 mm refers to ideal conditions: fresh or slightly damp wood, straight grain and optimally sharpened blades. Actual working capacity varies with the wood. On hardwood the practical working capacity can be lower, typically 45 to 60 mm. Blade sharpness significantly affects feed performance; after extended use, resharpening or replacement may be necessary.
That is the whole of what this site tries to say about manufacturer figures, written by a manufacturer, in its own listing.
It also means the 76 mm and the 76 mm on the machine beside it on this shelf are not the same claim, and only one of them told you.
A cutting roller with durable blades for fast processing of branches, allowing easy maintenance and straightforward blade replacement. A robust 7 PS engine with 212 ccm and a quick recoil start. A waste reduction ratio of 15:1. Quick assembly and a low-oil warning tone to protect the engine. A light, foldable design for moving and storage. Not to be used for fresh green material or pine cones. One year of warranty on the machine after registration, excluding blades and consumables.
The reduction ratio, stated. Four machines on this shelf publish one and it is the figure that tells you what happens after the shredding: fifteen barrowloads of prunings become one of chip.
That is the actual reason to own a shredder. The wood does not disappear, it becomes small enough to compost, mulch or fit in a bin.
A petrol garden machine run dry of oil is a destroyed engine, and a shredder is run for long periods in one position with the operator’s attention on the hopper.
An audible warning is a small piece of engineering that addresses the most expensive thing a user can do to this machine.
Not for fresh green material or pine cones. Warranty excludes blades and consumables.
Both are restrictions, both are printed, and both are the kind of thing most listings leave you to find out.

Because every other listing on this shelf publishes a single maximum diameter with no conditions, and no standard defines how that figure is obtained. This maker states the assumptions — fresh wood, straight grain, sharp blades — and gives the hardwood figure as well. That is what a specification looks like.
The maker states the machine reduces waste volume in that ratio, so fifteen barrowloads of prunings become one of chip. It is the figure that decides how much space the output takes and how often anything has to be moved.
The maker states the machine is not for fresh green matter or pine cones. Soft wet material wraps and clogs a cutting roller rather than being cut by it, and cones jam between roller and plate. Saying so is unusual and useful.
