Worked well for 3 years and 3 months. Then stopped without warning. Was not even heavily loaded at the time. No support, no service when out of warranty. So my only option is to toss it, when the issue might be very minor. Ok if you want a disposable shredder for $100/year.

Very disappointment, experienced frequent jams. I spent more time clearing Jams that i did chopping. they seem to have narrowed the expulsion chute. The previous model worked well, but this is not worth purchasing. If the yer 2020 have a mascot shredder, this would be it!

Love my Ozito mulcher. It just goes and goes. Gets through anything That fits the slot on the top. Little to no maintenance required, just the occasional adjustment taking 10 seconds. Good warranty too.

Our Ozito silent shredder is now 6 years old and has processed a mountain of shrub clippings. Its excellent compared to noisy rotary blade ones that jam constantly. Get one

I wasnt expecting much but this was a joke. Continual blockages and weak. I put it on Gumtree straight away as I couldn't return it. Worst $300 ever spent.

I expect a product like this to just work. Well, I set up and turned it on and fed some recently cut soft wood branches with leaves, none exceeding the 40mm specified, and, it just clogged up. Perhaps it can be made to work with effort, but, that isn't what I bought it for. Bunnings gave me a refund. I should state that a mate who is an avid gardener thinks they are great. But, he lives about 2hrs from me, so, I can't go and see how he makes it work.

My first Ozito shredder blade broke after about 4 years, but we found this does our occasional backyard shredding without much difficulty and it is quiet. It rarely jams and has a reversal in case something gets stuck. The capture bag is not very good however. No doubt if you do more shredding a more expensive model would be more efficient.

This shredder is great and does what it says and even more surprising it is actually fairly quiet. Definitely recommend. Easy to use and set up is very simple. Glad we purchased it.

Broke the plate on my old Silent Shredder. Couldn't get it apart to repair it. The holes in the top were jammed with debris and I could only get the first two screws out. First thing I did with the new one was to tape over those screw holes.

I was looking for improvements to the faults with the old shredder but the new one is worse. Continual blockages, new outlet chute is narrower and much harder to clear out.

Softer material has a tendency to wrap back around the teeth and back into the shredder.

Not impressed.

After having purchased one of these many years ago and finding it an invaluable tool in the garden. It suffered many years of abuse and gave up the ghost eventually cracking the internals (my fault jamming pieces way to big in it). i decided to get another only to find it clogging up within minutes? discovered they have made an "improvement" to the machine in that they have put a narrow plastic extension to the exit chute (obviously to stop any morons that would otherwise try to stick there hand up the chute whilst the machine is on). Whilst i cant reccomend it, i removed the plastic chute using a very long philips head screwdriver and hey presto i had my old shredder back!

Just crushes does nut shred. constantly blocking hard to clear . Bought to save time so waste could go in bin instead dump trip . Back to dump trips now ! Dump is best place for oxisols shredder!

Had this for quite a few years (at least 10) and though occasionally clogs up, is easy to clear. Neighbours also use it and always remark how well it works. Brilliant with palm fronds, which I get heaps of.

This would have to be the worst piece of garden appliance I have ever puchased
constantly clogging up and having to clean out shute which looks too narrow to me. Does not shred like it should. I have seen cheaper brands do much better job Dissapointed. Dont buy it

The real problem with this shredder is that the blades have to be sharpened every time I use it. I think they are made of mild steel. I tried to get new ones but the delivery time was two to three months. If anyone wants one they can have mine for free.

1. Branches jamming sometimes very difficult to dislodge as limited access.
2. Chute clogging constantly needing to tip shredder on its back to unclog.
3. Partial shredding of green branches has difficulty with bark.

I cannot begin to talk about what a waste of money this was. I understand products that are produced for a price point and that these cheaper models are not going to perform like more expensive models but its got to do a little bit. This product is like buying a cheap drill that doesn't spin or a vacume cleaner that doesnt suck. Id have been better off with my kids safety scissors. Im putting it out on the sidework with a sign that says 'free to and sucker who wants to cart me home'. Better yet I'll tape it to the roof of my car and drive around Bunnings Cannon Hill and use my PA to testify to what a piece of useless crap the Ozito 'Shredder' is!

Be exceptionally careful when loading this. If it jam's it can't be opened and unjammed without an unbuyable tool. Works well up to that point, but take it VERY easy.
