Just to say what a nice review. Eloquent (what a nice word) and gives me all the information I need to help make the decision between this and it's big brother AXT 25 TC. Just what I needed. Mike
I’ve had one for 12 months and for what it is which is, a small inexpensive shredder in reality with a good warranty. I have found it very good and never put single thin pieces in always bunched them up and run the strings through in bulk. It’s done some hard work over the last few months with no problems whatsoever.
Good review! I own one of these and my main complaint is the blade doesn't last too long and they are expensive to replace. When you sharpen them, they are never that good.
Thanks for the review and showing what the 'shredding' looks like and what it can cope with. I've been thinking of getting one of these as this model has generally good reviews. Now I've seen it doesn't really consistently shred I'll avoid this and go for something more powerful.
great review as per mate. bosch always been a good reliable brand . & as you have shown its doing a good job.using my mower a lot to reduce cuttings etc. take care.
If you keep the blades sharp these are perfect for a small garden. They work a lot better if you enlarge the opening at the top by cutting away some of the black things on the right hand side. Otherwise it's a pain to feed things through the tiny gaps
The impact shredders which have X2 small knives are better at cutting I like that type more .Impact shredders are for green material not thick wood realist 25MM thick branches is best
A bit late finding your review, could you answer a question for me ? does this shredder deal with fruit tree pruning debris ? I do not have any thick woody waste but 4 fruit trees which seem to put out very long thin branches, Before making a purchase I was looking for something suitable for that type of branches.
Hiya, Mr G... Nice video, great pace and very relaxed approach... Would this AXT2200 be ideal for shredding/mulching leaves? I'd really like something small that I could feed leaves into, and it could turn them to dust for compost or just fit them all into our wheelie bin... Some weeks I could fill up 6 or 7 wheelie bins, but we only have 1, and the council empty it every 2 weeks, so it could take 2 to 3 months to get rid of all the leaves. Thanks mate Rich
@@MrGardener18 Thanks. Yeah our lawn is soaked, and has been for weeks now. The mower would just end up a mess. Might have to stick to raking and bagging then.
Good review. As a gardener who uses chippers quite a lot i think this little shredder would be far too time consuming for me, that size of cuttings could be mulched with a mulching blade on the brushcutter or Mulching mower in seconds. Petrol chipper is for thin or thick cuttings\ branches where as the electric shredder is only for occasional domestic gardens. Thorough review though⭐⭐⭐⭐
the greener it is the worst it performs. like all of these small shredders they struggle to deal with green leafy materials. if it has a stem then it can do it but just greens and leaves on its own it will struggle to do it well.
Hi, I just got the same shredder today! Was super excited to start using it. But it didn’t come with a cable 😥 I was hoping you could help tell me what kind of cable it needs? Thank you!
I've had the shredder now for quite a while and I have turn and sharpen the blades already. I would say the baldes last about 3 month before they need turning or sharpening but it really doses depend on the materials you trying to shred and how often you use it. the best advise i can give is just keep cheacking the blades and sharpen when needed. to sharpen them manually just clamp the blade and uses a metal file to sharpen blades.
@@MrGardener18 Υes, it fits, but when I go to turn it, it doesn't turn at all, no matter how hard I try. I saw in the video which way you turn it. I also spray it with WD40.
@@preciusbox off hand I'm not sure what way it turn to loosen it. It should say in the manual. Give a spray of oil should help as well a tap with a hammer.
I don't have any person experience shredding Bougainville but I sure it will be fine. the long stem should shred up a treat as long as you keep the blade Sharp.
A very poor tool...mine has repeatedly broken-down...issue with the magnet in the overload protection sensor. Finally took it to the dump today. In my opinion it's unworthy of the Bosch name.
I found this to be the most disappointing shredder, just an hour after using it “out of the box”. You show in your own shreddings, how it fails to cut across thinner branches, instead shredding them longitudinally, but you don’t mention this as a failing, especially as the product literature boasts about cutting branches up to 4.5cm diameter - do you think this is acceptable then? These longer “uncut” twigs then never fail to block the machine. I double-checked that we’re talking about the same product! I’m glad you’ve had a good experience with it, but I see there are quite a few folks who haven’t.
