Summary: McCulloch 14-Amp Electric Chipper/Shredder
Comment: The chipper arrived on time and in good condition. Once we assembled it, we gave it a good tryout. It works great on sunflower stalks and small woody branches, as well as leaves. And it has a number of very effective safety features. I'm very glad that I will be able to mulch a lot of garden and yard waste and put it to good use, rather than sending it to the landfill.

Summary: McCulloch 14-Amp Electric Chipper/Shredder #MCS2001
Comment: The chipper does a fine job with branches less than an inch thick. When it jams, however, removing the upper part of the shredder is aggravating. A better design would incorporate a quick release. Aside from that, I am very pleased with its chipping and shredding ability.

Summary: Aviod problems with assembly
Comment: Read the assembly instructions and the review by u12soccercoach but modify his comments as follows:
You don't need two people if you follow the instructions about removing the yellow top and PLACING A 2X4 UNDER THE MOTOR by the power cord. Actually, I used two 2x4's and that really helped.
Axle assembly: No need to move the bolts to the outside but be sure to leave the bolts attaching the legs to the axle VERY loose to allow easy movement.
Attaching the leg assembly to the motor housing:
Hint: Place the small end of the hex wrench thru the leg and the solid aluminum barrel to keep them aligned while inserting the first bolt. If you experence any problem with binding - loosen the bolts attaching the axle to the legs.
I love the small chips the chipper produces but assume shredding leaves will be a very slow process; but, hey this is a $200 unit not an $800 one.
Easy to move about and so quiet.

Summary: waste of time and money
Comment: Anything thicker than half an inch - the machine stalls, even if you try to feed it in short bursts. Once it stalls, you have to unscrew three nuts, and the main one (with a safety power-off) is located so close to the body of the machine that you can only make a quarter of a turn at a time, otherwise your fingers get caught between the nut and the machine. Once you unscrew all the nuts and lift the top, you do not see anything wrong there, no bits of wood stuck between the knives or anything, so you replace the top, screw the nuts, start it - and then you go through the whole procedure two minutes later, for no apparent reason.
Waste of time and money if you want to chip branches, even small ones. OK for twigs - but even then you do not produce real chips, you mostly get torn pieces of twigs 3-5 inches long.

Comment: McCulloch 14-Amp Electric Chipper/Shredder #MCS2001
It is very easy to use and easy to fix it's jam-ups. It even works much better than my old gasoline operated MTD 421-645 Chipper Shredder.

McCulloch chipper/shredders make quick work out of twigs and small branches. The 3-way feed makes it easy to reduce your yard waste in a minimal amount of time.
