Default Advice on shredders, please

Bob Williams wrote:
We have quite a large garden, with a lot of hedges, and areas that are
constantly invaded by brambles. We are thinking of getting a shredder,
obviously needs to be fairly powerful and able to cope with some woody
branches, etc., but also needs to last more than one or two seasons.
Storage space is not a problem.

Does anyone have any recommendations?


AlKo Silent power - had it about five years.
I fill five compost bins a year.
Replaced the nylon roller last year when it stopped fully cutting
through small twigs. Otherwise no problems.
Very quite running.
Cuts branches up to about 1 1/4". The only thing it doesn't like is
hawthorn.
