Superb Shredder Worth Every penny

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 February 2013

I originally owned (about 10-12 years past) a generation one shredder and vowed never to buy another!
Recently a friend let me use his Bosch shredder and I decided to buy the newer and more powerful Bosch AXT25TC.
This has proved a truly great purchase:
1. It has a great 'appetite' for branches ands leafy material
2. It is reasonably quiet
3. I feed it fairly heavily and it has never jammed
4. The integrated mulch holder is robust and very useful and I have experienced no spillage
5. Any branches that don't connect with the cutting cone can easily be fed through by inserting more branches or by using the plunger supplied
6. It would seem impossible to put your hand into the cutting area ... but then why would you?
7. It is relatively fast and hassle free and ideal for the larger garden

I would suggest wearing head and face protection when using as, if like me, you intend shredding thorny material these can twist as they go down the shoot and may catch your face if too close.

The wheel base, as noted by others, needs to be wider to provide greater stability when being moved into position but this is my only small issue with an otherwise superb machine

No power cable included

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 May 2020

It comes from Lithuania and it has no power cable. Thats a lot of money to shell out to not be able to use it for weeks until the power cord I needed arrived. It does mention this in the Ad but you really have to scrutinise it to find it. If the power cable ever turns up I will know how good it is (or not).

It's expensive but once you start using it you will feel the price is justified.

It's expensive but once you start using it you will feel the price is justified.

I have been using it to clear down some overgrown shrubs and bushes as well as to mulch up some branches. It's really very good.

One very small drawback is that the rotation of the cutting device is used to pull material in further through the aperture. However, if you have very bushy material, the pulling force of the cutting device may not be strong enough to counteract the resistance of the very bushy material being impeded by the narrowness (around 4 inches) of the aperture.

This is not really a big deal as all that is necessary is to gently guide the bushy material through the aperture with your hand. It's totally clear from the design that this drawback could not be remedied because it's a "health and safety" feature. The aperture is narrow (4 inches approx) and it's design is such that it would prevent a hand from being pulled into it.

So really this device does deserve 5 stars - it's very good and chipping through even quite tough wood. Basically if it goes through the aperture - then this shredder will destroy it !!!

Formidable branch-chewer

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 September 2014

Does an excellent job gobbling up hard prunings up to 30 cm thick and is nice & quiet. Produces an acceptably minced-up mulch. Not much use with soft stems, but these can be composted as they are anyway. A good product, whose main drawback is that it's clumsy and heavy to wheel around, but it's nice and stable operating on reasonably level ground.

Super Shredder

Fantastic piece of kit. Anyone who has to dispose of a lot of garden waste from hedges, trees etc should invest in this machine. It sounds expensive but it does the job far better than cheaper models I have seen. Packs neatly and you can put it in your car for use elsewhere. Beware! When people see this you will suddenly get more friends who will want to borrow it and save themselves tip trips! Also chippings when composted will make great top mulching and weed suppressant!

excellent product: quiet, powerful

I have not owned or used any other electric or petrol chipper/shredder but don't feel I could have got a better product for the money. Its expensive but you get what you pay for - takes good sized branchs (at least as much as advertised) and literally munches them like celery.

+ quiet
+ compact
+ works as advertised.

Performed much better than I dared hope (based on my previous Bosch quiet shredder). We compost everything so want to reduce all material to smallish pieces to speed the process. Excellent on branches, even freshly cut with leaves attached, and copes well also with roots (suitably prepared and soil removed first) and most surprisingly with 'long green stuff'. No problems with jammimg. I like the integral collector which works fine.

The old shredder was not shredding soft stuff eg fir leaves there fore after researching this product decided to buy even though it may seem expensive, it really does do what it says on the 'tin'. Relatively quiet, easy to manoeuvre and eats lots very quickly. Arrived the next day. Eco packaging. Brill service.

They couldn't supply a power cord

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 August 2020

Verified Purchase

The shredder was a delivered promptly from an address in Germany. It arrived without a power cord. The supplier was unable to supply one and offered a refund. We thought it rather stupid to send a 30kg machine back to Germany for the sake of a power cord. However, Bosch UK were unable to supply a power cord either, but gave us the name of the sort of socket we needed to plug into the machine (a Schuko connector). Eventually we improvised with an extension lead and an adaptor and I have acquired a Schuko connector to make a more permanent solution, though connecting it to the flex looks challenging.

We have used the machine once and it appears to work well, though it is too early to give a proper assessment of its performance.

However, I was surprised by the poor service offered by Bosch UK in their failure to supply a power cord. It is highly unsatisfactory when domestic customers are forced to improvise where powerful machinery and mains electricity are concerned.
