I'm also thinking about buying one of these and would welcome any comments... Peter While I have not used this specific make or model I hace used a 'crushing' type of shredder before. Desirable features for me would be Reverse action As close to straight through as possible Adjustable crush gap Decent power |

Calling the helpline is on my list of things to do. I changed the cutting setting (as per instructions) but got nervous at setting it too tight. |

What does a "crushing" shredder do, and what does a shredder which is not a crushing shredder do? Franz Franz I have seen three types if shredder. What I would call Rotary. Material feeds into a pair of blades, the material and blades being perpendicular to each other. Screw Seems to be favoured by Bosch. Material feeds into the threads of a large screw somewhat reminiscent of a Leonardo Da Vinci invention. Crushing see here -- http://www.organiccatalog.com/catalo...0_171_175&prod ucts_id=1764 The key to this type is oval rotating drum. The drum has blades positioned to cut the material and the oval squeezes or crushes the materal before it is left to drop out into the collecting tray. The crushing effect is better for thicker woody items. While the rotary types whizz away with the blades a-blur, the crush types just chunk, chunk, chunk away. The result being much less noise and an ability to deal with bigger stuff. I chunked up an old broom handle, but I would not try that with a rotary shredder. Hope that helps |

"Leaf" wrote in message s.com... [i] Decent power [/b] Could you clarify this - is it related to thickness of material or speed of shredding or something else? -- Leaf Hello Leaf This model would appear to be 2200 watts, just a guess mind you but I bet that's what the 2200 in its name refers to. Plenty of power I would have thought, the Bosch do a 2000 watt one, which I would have thought was borderline in the power stakes. I certainly would not go lower that 2000 watts |
