Why don't you go into a place like B&Q and ask someone? There is bound to be someone who can advise you what you need :-)

 

Welcome to Gardeners Corner

Never known anyone in B&Q know anything about the products other than where the barcode was & has it got the same batch number.

 

Well I was just talking from experience as I found them a lot of help when I needed a strimmer

 

Thats good, maybe things are getting better

 

Have a good look on youtube, you can see them working, it is very helpful. I have been trying to find the best one for me this week.

 

Have a look at The Viking 370 (think Viking is an offshoot of Stihl but not sure). It's petrol and easy to move about as has wheels. I got this when we lost an enormous Beech tree last year in the gales. The shredder coped with all small branches and leaves and made a good job. It worked non stop for about 2 weeks and I have a great pile of weed suppressor material now. I'm not an expert on shredders but my 1 has tackled both soft and hard material well, doesn't perhaps do quite as thick branches as it claimed would do but not complaining.

 

Hi all,, newbie here , I have just ordered this Shredder , a Qualcast Garden Shredder - 2800W from Argos. It was £119.00 I have no idea how good it is tbh, it's coming on Saturday 22nd. I'll let you all know when I get it and used it.

Thanks Zigs

 

I know it's not petrol, but I bought this Bosch AXT 2200 shredder at a fantastic price and can't fault it so far. A great machine that handles everything I need at a sensible cost for the garden.

 

I had a look at a few different petrol shredders, all of them were better than anything electric. However none of them would guarantee shredding soft material without clogging, which is what I wanted them to do.
The best electric shredder is the Bosch one with an Archemedes type screw blade.
