Recomendations please regarding the choice and purchase of a garden
shredder.

Agree with everything that has already been said, but I abvise that you are
not tempted to cut costs by buying one of the cheaper versions. The biggest
difference between the cheapo shredders and the quality ones (like Bosch) is
that they do not have autofeed. This means that you have to stand over them
pushing the branches/ twigs through with a little poker type thing, whereas
with the Bosch, etc., you can leave the machine to do its job automatically.
The "free-ad" type papers are full of ads for second-hand cheaper shredders
where people have become disillusioned with theirs due to them being too
time consuming. Also agree with the comments regard to using the waste
products for mulch.
