    Incredible value, solid little machine.
  

*by L***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 17 December 2022*

Dropped a star on maneuverability purely because its quite short, so I have to hunch-over to grip it by the tube around the feed hopper mouth, and its a bit top-heavy so teeters over easily on uneven terrain -but as long as you grip the hopper with both hands its fine -and really rather light with good size wheels for rolling over imperfections.Another star down on assembly just because i'm being finickity -a few of the bolts are a bit on the short side, but they do there job (so far) -it would be much better with captive thumb-screws on the hopper and shute -I've spent ages looking for the dropped screws / washers, and as they could potentially fall in the chipping mechanism if you tried to leave them on the hopper / shute, it could be hazardous for the mechanism / people nearby if you didn't find them and fired the machine up, but I'm sure this is all because they were keeping a tight eye on cost. because this is...Incredible value for money -this solid, stout, compact little machine really is a bargain, the engine doesn't start as well (hot or cold) as a Honda, and it isn't anywhere near as well made in many respects -but you couldn't buy the Honda engine alone for the price of this whole machine delivered! -there is an electric start option too (see Forest Masters website if you can't find it here), that could be handy fatigue-saver if you were using it regularly, but I wouldn't bother if you were only going to use it a couple of times a year -as I'm sure the battery would be flat or need replacing whenever you actually needed it.I'd prefer to have the regulation longer shute (I think it is 1200mm -long enough to not get your fingers into the chipping mechanism) than the access-restrictor plate alternative that is required by EU / UK law -this would make it easier to push around and feed -but I respect this would also make it heavier more top-heavy, and cost more -both in unit price and likely delivery costs so I can see why this compromise was taken.I am a former arborist and used to using commercial chippers up to 24" capacity -I used to laugh at gravity-feed (yes I know the blades sort-of draw material in -but not the same as spring / hydraulically loaded, hydraulic powered feed rollers!) little chippers -and yes I'd still like powered feed-rollers, but even the smallest power-feed models are well over £1000 and bulky, which I didn't have spare, so I was unsure whether to bother with a gravity fed machine, but as I only use it for small stuff, because I keep anything bigger for kindling / firewood, and this little machine looked so stout -with minimal sheet metal, no drive belts, and was just so cheap, it was a no-brainer! Less smoke and hassle / fire risk from bonfires, more compost!

    Powerful, small chipper.
  

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 21 December 2022*

Easy to assemble, easy to start, very powerful only thing it could do with is a handle to make it easier to manoeuvre.Been using it for the last week and loved every minute of it, been after a small chipper for a while and this certainly hasn't disappointed me, as a gardener it really is a great addition to my work gear.... fantastic!

    Really does work
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 23 October 2022*

Made me think to put it together, but I tend to put things together without the manual, it chops and chops and chips, make sure you have a 10mm spanner in your pocket, sometimes the feeder shoot needs a pit if attention, really quick fix. It has saved me loads of money, we have a small holding and I cut and chip as I go, the only thing I’m going to do is make a trolly for it as whilst you can move it, it has to be done slowly on uneven ground which puts a bit of pressure on your lower back, as a physiotherapist, this is not helpful.Really pleased I bought this brilliant
