First a bit of back ground, for many years now whenever anyone on here
has asked for a shredder recommendation I had no hesitation in
recommending my Bosch AXT 2200 HD then about a year ago it caught fire
while in use and died, the new motors were expensive so I decide to
replace it with a new version of the same model, now while its not a bad
shredder compared with the original its much more time consuming to use
(largely due to increased safety measures such as cut out switches) Then
last week while walking the dog we met up with a couple who in
conversation on hearing that we gardened said they had a shredder they
wanted shot of would we like it as they no longer used it and it was
filling up space in their shed. When we heard the make and model and age
we realized it was probably going to be the original, so we fetched it
home and today in the pouring rain it got its first test ( see picture )
Happy doesn't begin to describe it
