Bosch Garden Shredder AXT Rapid 2200 (2200 W, 230 Volt System, Cutting Capacity 40 mm, in Carton Packaging)

Product Information

The blade is two sided, with only one side doing the cutting and so when it dulls, simply turn it over and use the other edge. To stop the shredder, simply hit the power switch in the middle, it depresses and instantly turns off the power. Previously our land was strewn with overgrown trees, or dead bits of branches and twigs, and each time I thought of cutting something back I was wondering how I would rid myself of all the excess without having to burn a fire all day . There is no doubt that if a gardening tool can be improved upon then Bosch will already be working on it.

I didn't put in a lot of waste at the same time think you need to be careful about not overloading it.

Thanks to its lightweight design, this high-performance garden shredder is easy to transport across lawns and patios. It hums away with a whistle that is quieter and bearable without, but is still advised to use ear defenders with, for extended work periods. The Start-up is also safety featured, as the instinctive thing to do is to grip the knob and turn it to II position, but this will not start it unless you hold the knob gently, without pushing it in. It works like a big food processor so I recommend having a spare blade as it will blunt at some stage. The AXT Rapid Shredder is a must-have item for gardeners who want to dispose of large amounts of branches and foliage quickly.

The BOSCH AXT 2200 Rapid Electric Shredder is perfect for domestic users who need to shred soft and hard material, such as tree or hedge cuttings left over after general maintenance in the garden. I don't think I could have shredded this material finer, if I done it by hand (which would have been far more arduous).Thanks to Bosch’s attention to detail you’ll certainly appreciate the robust stand which offers you greater stability while you work and makes the shredder completely safe to work with. It did not get clogged although I used fewer green waste, works better with dry / dead material I'm sure and I left in running some of the time while I cut off more branches. dry dead wood, soft leafy stuff, even the palm branches go through it as long as you feed them in nice and steadily (well, all except the first 20-30cm which is too thick to go in the hopper).

Here is an innovation too, it is a single blade not two seperate blades, and so much easier to turn over. We are committed to sharing our expertise with you, ensuring that you make informed decisions and find the perfect lawnmower for your specific needs. i had anyway purchased a replacement blade, and fitted this after the second 2-3 hours with the first blade. I folded some of them over too so the side shoots were taken in and chopped without too much difficulty.

The machine was very easy to assemble, taking ten minutes at most, and requiring a Phillip's, screwdriver and a small (preferably rubber) hammer to knock the wheels onto the axles. With its uniquely designed motor the AXT 2200 Rapid is lighter and faster than most other shredders available on the market today. We recommend that where appropriate that you register for the 3 year warranty, this will give you peace of mind when purchasing your tool.
