Small to medium size garden and as composting space is limited decided
to get a shredder to compost more and send less to bin. There is small
amount of small branches, in the autumn lots of beech leaves and quite
a lot of small general prunings /green material. Consequently I want
somehting that will deal with green materials as well as branches and
preferabley reasonably quiet. There are little in way of reviews but
three appear
Ryobi RGS1500 £169 - seems well recommended but not sure it is quiet
or advanced in its cutting mechnaism
AL-Ko SP3500 £269 - seems quiet and seems to have a crush mechanism;
any good for leaves /green material etc..
Bosch AXT 2000 Xp £169 - not sure if this is the same as ATCO Quiet
shredder as these are made by Bosch
ATCO Quiet 1800 Shredder £260- seems to have a spiral pull in

Can anybody spare some time to advise if they have any experience in
this area?

many thanks

I've got a Bosch 2000, which has a screw cutter. Very quiet in
comparison with shredders with blades, and deals with pretty much
anything to small to put on my open fire. I would heartily recommend it.


Band Q are currently selling Mountfield Shredder for £169
seems to have yet another kind of mechanism bit like the Bosch

Focus Do it all have the Bosch 1600 for £169 too

I have a Champion 1600 which is a bit like Atco etc just 2 blades on a
circular plate .......great while they are sharp but have to get them
changed every year by the mower shop as its definitely not a DIY job
