Snow Joe SDJ616 Shredder Joe 16:1 Reduction Ratio Electric Leaf Mulcher/Shredder, 13-Amp

I've just received this shredder but it comes with a Canadian plug and is rated 110V, which means it is useless in the UK. No mention of any of this in the description. Baffled why this is even listed on Amazon.co.uk, it is just pointless. I'm obviously returning it and now have to go through the hassle of packing it up and bringing it to a drop-off point. Annoyed.

El equipo hace el trabajo aceptablemente bien, sin embargo, no es un equipo para uso intensivo por lo que para obtener la mayor efectividad en su desempeño hay que observar constantemente la velocidad con la que se alimenta el embudo de llenado para obtener el mejor corte posible y así prolongar la vida de los plásticos cortadores; de otra forma, si se sobrealimenta por tener mayor rendimiento del equipo, los plásticos cortadores se consumen muy rápidamente y el corte es disparejo. Importante tener en cuenta que lo ideal es alimentar al equipo con hojas únicamente, es decir, es deseable también depurar las varas, por muy delgadas que éstas sean porque también acaban rápidamente con el plástico cortador.

Endlich mal eine Arbeitserleichterung Wir haben in unserem Garten einen sehr großen Walnussbaum Jedes Jahr kommen ca 20-25 Säcke Laub zusammen Auch das zerkleinern mit dem Rasenmäher war keine Erleichtung Dieses Gerät schafft es aber in binnen kurzer Zeit das Laub zu feinem Mulch zu verarbeiten Top Volumenreduktion und super Zeitersparnis Wir sind begeistert

Seller must tell clearly its 110Volt AC, USA supply style, but total Product is Made in China ! Moreover, the Voltage converter provided for 220V AC to 110V AC, is only 100W rating where as if you see 110V x 13 A current, 60Hz, the power drawn is very high. The Converter provided Burnt in 5 min of use.

We are using it to chop straw for mulch and to mix into our garden soil to help aerate it and hold moisture. We have probably chopped 40-50 bales with no issues. It just takes a standard weed trimmer line which is handy. The only thing I would suggest is that anything you put through it should be dry. If you have wet material it sticks to the sides and you end up having to turn it off and scrape it out.

Bought this product because of another review I read from a lady in New Mexico who used it to chop hay for an old Horse. I am in the same situation with our old Arab. He is 37 and has worn out his teeth, can no longer chew hay and everything I can buy over the counter is too course, so I thought I would give this a try. Worked great, very dusty but the finished product was what i was after. took about fifteen minutes to grind up a bale of alfalfa hay, used a set of strings, but not complaining because I moistened this fine hay slightly and my old man tore into it like a teenager. Seeing him eating hay and not water logged hay pellets alone was worth the price of this piece of equipment. Note to people looking, this is not a chipper, it is a shredder. It will not handle wood because it is not designed for wood, it does however do a fantastic job of shredding. It is dusty, so if you are afraid of getting dirty you might want to look elsewhere. Otherwise put on a dust mask long sleeve shirt, gloves and safety glasses and get the job done. Great machine for what it is designed for. Easy to assemble and easy to operate. Five stars.
