Ryobi Silent Shredder RSH2445T
Doesnt seem to last that long though appears sid
I went to use it yest and it started and did few branches and then it stopped..
That was about three times in total ive used it since we bought it ?about 2yrs ago ..
We bought it from bunnings like we do nearly all tools.
It appears solid.,still looks new but we believe that the quality of items hve really deteriorated since being manufactured in china..
Honestly things seems to break dwn easily and made purposefully to break dwn just after bit of use..
Purchased in April 2016.

Adjusting blades
I am sorry to be agreeing with the negative comment here as I am having the same trouble. It seems that other comments have mentioned adjusting the blades. Yes I have read the instructions, but unfortunately I don't understand what I am undoing with the allen key?? Simple suggestions would be gratefully received.
This is likely the user at fault (me). I wasn't going to give a star rating because at present I am hating my new purchase, but if anyone can explain what I am doing with the allen key and how I adjust the blades so I can shred into small pieces I would be more than happy to rate it higher.

Didn't 'shred' or mulch at all - only mangled and repeatedly clogged. Returned it.
I bought this high priced $400 'Silent' Ryobi thinking it would actually 'shred' or mulch the thin branches (1.8cm) and the leaves that I fed into it - but all it did was mangle the branches (not 'shred') and leaves just came out the same as they went in! I was now left with piles of mangled branches (not mulch) that still needed shredding! Also the machine REPEATEDLY kept clogging up both top and bottom ends so I spent about 60% of the time de-clogging it. I tried different adjustments to stop both issues happening but still the same. I ended ...Read more
up returning this Ryobi the next day and bought the $165 Ozito 'Rapid' Shredder to finish my job. Pleased to say the Ozito works just brilliantly actually shredding and mulching branches and hasn't clogged up yet - I won't say the Ozito is 100% perfect but for $165 it's MUCH more effective than the $400 Ryobi. I would prefer a Talon brand but couldn't find one. My scores: Ryobi = 2/5. Ozito = 4/5. Note: All 'Silent' shredders use a heavy duty, slow speed grinding wheel/cog to grind up the branches/foliage - so it's quiet. 'Rapid' shredders use high speed, sharp spinning blades to chop up the branches/foliage - like a food processor - so it's loud.Similar opinion? Write a review on ProductReview.com.au!

my Ryobi shredder which is just 6 mth out of warranty has developed a problem in that after stalling on a branch it will predominantly run in reverse irrespective of the forward /reverse switch setting, togling the start/stop switch a number of times sometimes helps.
any ideas would be appreciated

I hope the remedy I found will help someone else.
The problem was a faulty start capacitor 60uF 450volt ac, but to replace this I had to dismantle the shredder completely.

Which shredder is which? Your picture and product code and review descriptions seem to mismatch. Bunnings is advertising two at the moment with $90 between them.
