MAC ALLISTER MSHP2800D-2 2800W SHREDDER REVIEW 

Handy tool to have although i tend to disagree with changing the handle placement, its difficult to put into words but imagine it like a sack truck where you tilt it back. I can't see moving the handle to the other side would make it easier. Great vid as usual though!

I’ve been using this shredder for the last few weeks in the garden, for the money it’s a great piece of kit and makes composting branches and tree cuttings much easier. Here is a direct link to the product on Screwfix- bit.ly/3zupfCy (I’m not on commission). I hope everyone has a great Sunday 😉

Thank you... I'm an old chick giving this shredder a go because tip trips were getting too much.

I've have a very similar (Cobra) shedder for about 4 years with very little problems. I found the handle position to be fine, I put my foot against the wheel and pull on the handle the machine is then quite manoeuvrable using the handle.

I've got this same machine, but branded as Titan - the safety switch on the collection tub is annoying, so that was quickly bypassed, which then allowed the unit to be turned around on the wheel frame, so now the handle is on the opposite side to the wheels.

The handle is on the correct side!!!! Like a wheelie bin, lean over slightly and pull it behind you

Nice review Chez. Can I ask if it is possible to remove the blades to give them the occasional sharpening? Cheers👍👍

I have a Lidl version of this a quick tip, to stop green shredding blocking round the blade just spray WD-40 down inside & it stops it sticking inside.

Hi, I'm looking at buying this tomorrow. I used a Parkside shredder for approximately 30 minutes today ( and it had a loud bang and now it turns on but stops after 3 seconds. I looked if it was clogged which it was not. I am now going to return the Parkside one to Lidl and think I'll buy this. Do you still recommend it? Thanks

Do you adjust the blade whilst it's switched on? The manual is slightly ambiguous in that regard. I found the holes for the bolts holding the blockage cover are poorly machined.

Just bought one,in place of a problematic Bosch one,and its night and day better!

I have the Makita version of this, the only apparant differeance is the colour and the Makita was twice the price. Loved it except for the interlock on the bin was terrible and had to go, very simple to by pass.

Is it not supposed to wheel like a wheelie bin.

A bit too fiddly for me,I always gauge things by if it takes longer to dispose of it then it does to do the actual job then it's not viable.i would rather dump thevrubish or get the next size up / hire one.

Silly question, would it shred paper ?

They are fine providing the material is reasonably straight, took down a couple of fruit trees and it shredded the small stuff, the rest is firewood: when adjusting the balde hold the locking ring and turn the inner knob, the front will come off for a serious blockage. not much good for our hawthorn hedges, too many right angles, and there is no hopper for the finer stuff.

👍👍

👍

That looks a lot like the green Bosch one

I've now had 2 of these useless shredders .... The first one the motor blew up and the casing shattered - the replacement has now just given up ... feeder plate prematurely worn and another large crack in the casing .... Poor quality but when working its fine

Thanks, that was a good review and demonstration. I now know not to get one :)

Thanks for the demo and review. Them conifers deserve to be shredded. Horrible tree👍

Actually the wheels and the handle are in right place.

I use loppers to cut branches 😏

I’ve had one for nearly a year and used it many times. It’s good if you want to shred the branches for mulching or composting. I wouldn’t recommend getting it if you want to dispose of the shredded material. It’s much cheaper to buy a pruning saw and cut it into smaller pieces. The shredder is very noisy!!! It’s also 2.8kW so watch how long it’s running for. Your next energy bill may shock you. I had a problem with the adjusting wheel for the blade. The locking wheel keeps coming undone and the blade moves. The thread on it is all chewed up because it keeps happening a lot if I don’t check it every few minutes. I’m happy with it as I already have it and made lots of wood chippings. Saying that I wouldn’t buy it again.

Seems like a waste of money to me..just put em in garden bin for free..simples

Bought one yesterday..used first or 10 minutes started smoking and packed in…..not impressed
