Finding electric garden chipper to go through several tons of garden waste is not an easy task, particularly in Australia where all electric chippers are limited to 3hp.
Turns out STIHL sells electric chippers as well however there are little to no reviews on them. So here you go - my thoughts on this device after producing a couple of cubic meters of mulch.
Here is the update about it a year later: • STIHL GHE 355 chipper ...

Very useful thank you. I have got slightly smaller branches and amount to mulch so it should work. Thanks again.

Great review, living in the UK I bought the Viking GE 355 exactly the same as STIHL GHE 355 but half the price it comes with STIHL blades the two things to keep in mind with this chipper perseverance and blockages. I know it’s a safety feature but it could do with a quicker release system to open to clear blockages.

I thought STIHL rebranded Viking to become STIHL... N/M. Yes, those knobs take forever to undo. I ended unplugging the chipper and tilting it to get my hand all the way to the blades - helps with minor blockages. Make sure you wear very thick gloves if you do that. If I were in the UK I would have been very tempted with ForestMaster 4hp electric chipper.

@@ZaarsShed hi, yes they did rebrand and sold off all Viking at very reduced price, I had my eye on the GHE 355 so when I saw the Viking at the price it was, it was a no brainier instead of shopping around for an alternative

Great video and thanks for this honest review. I was thinking of buying the smaller brother ghe 260 but it seems they are not much better than a 200-300 chipper and cost more than twice as much + sharping the blades.

I have a 6hp Forest Master petrol shredder. Its quieter than the Stihl in my opinion and provides more power at roughly the same price. It will mulch leafy branches up to 50mm diameter.

@@triantako It does, but not in Australia. The issue in AU that all plugs are limited to 10amp current while the Electric Forest master is 15amp@220v. So even if I had ordered one from UK, I also had to route a specific 15A socket. The intricacies of DownUnder..... Effectively general purpose outlets here are limited to 2.4kw which is essentially 3HP - not much for chipping.

I've sharpened the blades once in 18 months. Granted I don't use it every week. I bought the GHE375 with 3 phase motor. Has fantastic torque so it chomps through nearly anything. It has issues with long fibrous material like cannas which wrap around the blade.

Nope, if you are a regular heavy user, this chipper (as well as any other Stighl chipper that uses such an over-complicated blade system) will highly dissapoint IMHO.

I just got mine earlier this week, not the same model I think it’s the previous model, been using it and got soaked with grass & weed juice.😂 I have to say I’m disappointed, a lot of mucking around to get it all the way through & finding the correct spot. I was close to buying the Hansa but it’s like $5k and I don’t have that much waste to do constantly, it’s more the initial cleanup then ongoing maintenance. It’ll do but if I could do it again I’d buy something else.
@OliverCardonaPhoto
@OliverCardonaPhoto 2 года назад
I just bought the Hansa C3e, it’s $1500 not 5000, still a lot more than the Stihl. All that plastic on the Stihl will not last with my trees. Blades are very difficult to sharpen compared to Hansa. Hansa is a tank, but I think they are lowering the quality of their motors to compete.
@ZaarsShed
@ZaarsShed 2 года назад
@@OliverCardonaPhoto This one was AUD $850. I looked at Hansa C3e but it's AUD $1400, and has just 2HP motor vs 3HP for Stighl. On the bright side it has just one blade with one edge to sharpen (which is a relief compared to Stihl). However with just 2HP motor, double the price and no reviews at the time I couldn't risk it. I wouldn't worry about the plastic build of Stighl - it's very sturdy, and has thick aluminum guide inside - you can see it at the end of the vid. I'm also not worried of chipped paint or rust. And I store under deck that gets small drizzle any now and then and, again, don't have to worry about rusting metal. On the wishful thinking side I wish I could get a Forest Master 4HP chipper they sell in the UK.

does it not self feed? I would rather be getting the next bundle ready to put into the machine than pushing the current bundle in.
@ZaarsShed
@ZaarsShed Год назад
It kind of does once you get the branch into going, but you need to control the feeding for anything beyond 15-20mm thick branches - otherwise it will big down and get stuck.

1.what are the signs that blades need sharpening? 2. do the vertical blades need more sharpening than the horizontal chipping blades? 3. hansa 3e is now 2000W-please comment. 4. after 1 year use what is your opinion
@ZaarsShed
@ZaarsShed 2 года назад
1. You'll feel over time that it takes more effort to push branches through. When blades are sharp itsl pulls them in very happily. 2. Couldn't tell really. I usually sharpen the whole set. 3. Have no idea. From my research the only hassle-free electric chippers are custom made ones that ppl make in EU from 3-phase motors. 4. It still works fine. After processing that huge amount amount of initial branches I now only have an armful a month to feed it. For these tasks it's convenient to have electric chipper that starts every time and requires no maintenance. My wife uses it too so it's a double win.

@ZaarsShed
@ZaarsShed 2 года назад
Sharpening is time consuming. I use WorkSharp Kenonion Edition which has tiny belts to get into the tight spots of thes blades. With 24 edges to sharpen, it takes 1-1.5 hours if they are dull and you want to sharpen them all. Good sharpening is enough for 2-4 hours of continuous shredding work depending on the material.

Would you have preferred to buy the most powerful electric one GHE 420?
@ZaarsShed
@ZaarsShed 2 года назад
If I had a 3 phase power on my property then... still no. They don't sell them in AU and will probably going to be expensive - and GHE 420 will only have 3000 watt of power! (which is so little) and the same cumbersome blades. Unfortunately after doing some reasearch, if you have 3 phase power then better DIY something with 7-10kW motor is the way to go. Many guys in Eastern EU build one from a high-power motor and old joint plainer blade set. All brand name electric chippers are hopelessly underpowered :(

On croit faire confiance à une marque connue, mais en fait le produit est très mal étudié. Dans le sens végétaux, le broyeur se bloque tout de suite dès que l'on met des végétaux. d'où obligation d'ouvrir l'ensemble pour tout enlever!! En ce qui concerne les branchages, ce n'est guère mieux, car déjà le diamètre de broyage est plus qu'optimiste, et il faut arriver a positionné la branche a l'endroit du couteau, sans quoi ça ne sert à rien, on ne fait que frotter sur le disque le ralentir et l'engin cale pour un rien!!de plus il peut y avoir des rebonds très dangereux, il ne faut jamais enfourner les branches en se mettant devant la bouche, car parfois celle-ci rebondit très violemment, seuls les couteaux horizontaux fonctionnent et il faut démonter tout l'ensemble pour les affûter et en plus ils ne sont pas retournables , les autres vu leur forme c'est très dur de les affûter avec une affûteuse genre Tormek une seule solution, même retraité il faut prendre son temps ce broyeur n'est pas à hauteur de ses prétentions et encore moins de son prix plus de 800€, quitte a voir un broyeur électrique ce n'est pas la peine de payer la marque Stihl Vicking, ce produit est loin de remplir ses fonctions.

We think we trust a well-known brand, but in fact the product is very poorly researched. In the plant direction, the crusher immediately blocks as soon as plants are added. hence the obligation to open the whole thing to remove everything!! As far as the branches are concerned, it's not much better, because already the grinding diameter is more than optimistic, and you have to be able to position the branch at the place of the knife, otherwise it's useless, we just rubs on the disc, slows it down and the machine stalls for nothing! Moreover, there can be very dangerous rebounds, you should never put the branches in the oven by putting yourself in front of your mouth, because sometimes it bounces very violently, only the horizontal knives work and you have to dismantle the whole thing to sharpen them and in addition they cannot be returned, the others given their shape it is very hard to sharpen them with a sharpener like Tormek only one solution, even retired you have to take your time this shredder does not live up to its claims and even less its price more than 800€, even if it means seeing an electric shredder it is not worth paying for the Stihl Vicking brand, this product is far from fulfilling its functions.

@ZaarsShed 2 года назад
Yes, the unfortunate truth. I got electic because after going through this big pile, my regular "mantenance" load of branches is very small so electric one will do, and compared to petrol, it will start every time, requies no engine maintenance, and is relatively quiet.
