Chippers, Shredders, and Mulchers


!±8± Chippers, Shredders, and Mulchers

Chipper shredders and chipper mulchers are designed to make the yard clean-up as easy as possible. Before we bought a chipper shredder vacuum at our house, the fall and the spring was just awful. We have about a 1000 square feet backyard with a couple of trees and bushes. When fall came, the trees would start losing leaves or acorns, branches would start falling off, the whole yard was just a mess. And since my younger brother was too little and too weak back then, guess who had to do the job? Yes, it was me. It usually took at least 3-4 days to tidy up everything. God, that is a bad memory.

About two years ago, we decided to modify the tool shed. We have bought some tools for work around the house, but my favorite definitely became the chipper shredder. It took me 3 hours to do the job last year, and this year it took me exactly 5 minutes. The chipper shredder is so easy to use, that this year my brother did the job. We have a gas-powered one, which is a bit safer, because it does not use electricity, but you can get an electric one as well. It is just that a 1000 square feet means a lot of extension cords. The only down side is that it's a bit loud and is not exactly environmentally friendly. So we ca not wait for a cordless, battery powered one.

One of the main advantages of this appliance is it shreds wood, leaves and debris into particles 10 times smaller. It takes ages before the container is full. I have to empty it at most twice for the whole backyard and I do not consider it that small. And it really vacuums everything, you just have to mind the rocks or stones, they can seriously damage the blades or knives.

Nevertheless, the chipper shredder/mulcher is really a great tool, worth every penny.
