 Still chopping by hand... April 23, 2006
Still chopping by hand (Gloucestershire)
63 out of 63 found this review helpful
We have lots of shrubs in the garden needing to be cut back every year - we normally cut these up by hand before disposing of the cuttings.
The idea of a shredder doing this for us, and being able to use the waste on the garden appealed.
We saw the Draper advertised with its abilty to chop 40mm dia cuttings and with a powerful motor and thought that this was the answer.
We started to use the shredder, and within minutes it jammed, and jammed again and again, never actually shredding the material - more like "chewing" it.This was on small branches/cuttings, no where near the apparent maximum diameter of 40mm.
A phone call to Draper told us to turn the blades around - which we did with no improvement. Another call to Draper told us that there had been a number of problems/complaints with the machines, and the offered to look at it for us.It was returned to us a few days later saying that there was no fault with the machine.
Overall, this is the worst bit of garden equipment we have ever bought, and cannot recommend it to anyone.

THE TRUTH

Purchased this item for my mothers garden. I used it twice following the guidelines to the letter. The motor burnt out on the second use. It was also out of Amazons return period. A complete waste of a hundred pounds.
 Really good! NOT!! July 21, 2005

Original review:
I reviewed this item after its first use because I was very impressed.
Unfortunately I've tried to use it three times since and it is a pile of junk.
That first use seems to have blunted the blades so much it will only allow through the pieces that are small enough to fall through the gap anyway. It makes a lot of noise as it resists whatever is offered and eventually shuts off when you inevitably try to force the situation. I have not tried anything near the size it can apparently take.
I tried to dissemble it to sharpen or replace the blades, but the hex screws just chew up; so its now even more useless.
I will be complaining to Draper very strongly, as this is the biggest waste of time and money I have ever made.
Apologies if anyone bought one of these on the strength of my misguided joy.
Would give it zero stars but there is no option when editing a review.
