This is a great chipper. Assembly was easy with the instructions. Easley chips branches, bamboo and small trees up to 4 inches. Makes the job of cleaning up a joy.

Great product, does what it says.

First use tried chipping branch sizes form 1" to 4" newly cut and year old. Chipper did great up to 3" branches green and old. It did chip 4" branches, but had to feed slowly and would not pull the branches in like the smaller branches, if I tried, it would lock up the blade and stall the motor. This was with both green and old branches, so I think it is a volume issue, it couldn't get the chips out quick enough. As far as the portability, was a little difficult to push over uneven ground, and was awkward to tip it far enough down to get the stand off the ground. Would be great if it had a hitch to connect to ATV or lawn tractor. Overall I am happy with it at the price point, I rated 4 stars due to difficulty in transporting and difficulty in chipping 4" branches.
