I find it works well on twigs and branches without leaves. Very leafy material easily clogs up, using the pusher just compacts it. It is powerful but doesn't shred material as fine as the Bosch AXT which also has the advantage of just loosening a knob to access the cutter to free jams.
Thanks for your comment! I appreciate your insights. During my testing, I didn't experience issues with leafy material clogging up, but it's helpful to know that others have had different experiences. The Bosch AXT does have advantages like finer shredding and easier jam clearing. Both models have their strengths, so it depends on your specific needs.
Thanks for the review and discount code. This machine works very well for chipping hedge trimming and is much better than burning or taking to the recycling centre. I was surprised at how quickly material was processed. It is best for substantial branches and not as good for more spindly material such as thin dogwood stems. Thanks again.
I had a similar machine. Before buying one consider if you really can be bothered to feed all your garden waste one stick at a time. I was looking for an easier way than car boot and the local tip. Ask if it can do brambles and ivy!
Thanks for you feedback. Yes this will do the branches very well. We recently cut several shrubs and small trees and used this shredder on the branches and produced bucket loads of wood chipping that are now on the beds preventing weeds. The green stuff was then placed in the green waste bins. Yes there is some sorting to do first, however it would have taken weeks to get rid of the larger branches in the bins.
I don't like the fact that you have to adjust the cutting mechanism with the knob till it makes a grinding noise. Hyundai should have designed some form of self-adjustment. Also, the shredder doesn't seem particularly quiet. I have a Bosch 23-year-old silent shredder AXT 1600 and it is very quiet. But it has a big problem with clogging when leafy branches are put through. On the Hyundai I really like the access plate to remove clogging.
Hi Mark, As you will know old hay is too stalky to compost fully as is. We get lots of old hay from a livery stable we run and I'm looking for a way to shred the hay before composting. Do you think this shredder will perform well doing that? My concern is getting the hay through the opening, it looks like it may be a fiddly job!
Thanks for the second domestic garden shredder review. I have a similar one and the old type with spinning blades. All do quite well and I would be lost without them, I compost the chippings for use next year. But now I can afford better or dearer, is there any chance of reviewing the Eliet Neo2 Electric Garden Shredder? It is on my wish list.
Thanks for your feedback, glad my videos are helpful. I don't have any plans to review this particular model in the near future, but will let you know if I do. Thanks
Thanks for the review. I am considering purchasing this shredder since my old one broke. Could you tell me if the blades can be sharpened or replaced when they become dull?
Hi - yes you can get spare blades and plates for this machine. Details below:- Replacement Counter Plate £14.99 inc. VAT Replacement HYCH2800ES Blade Hob £16.99 inc.

Thanks for the review sure looks like good shredder. The 28Kw motor sure looks like a lot more power than the 2.4Kw we get here in Australia. I would like to know if you can buy them in Australia. The Hyundai web site does not list shredders in their power products section.
Thank you for the review and demonstration. We bought one and will now go and try it out!
Great. Let me know how you get on. Thanks.

Great point! Thanks for your feedback. Mark
Is this device suitable for chipping planks from old pallets? Please advise. Thank you so much for this interesting review.
No, it will not chip planks, but naturally it all depends on the size and width. Please see my video for sizes. Thanks

Do you think this shredder will perform well doing that? My concern is getting the hay through the opening, it looks like it may be a fiddly job!
Hi, no I don't think this will perform well on hay due the way in which the blade/drum cutting system works. Sorry

@@EasyLawnMowing Many thanks for your help. Very much appreciated.

Hi, no I don't believe they sell in Australia or thew US. Thanks
