Should be called the crumpler!
After using petrol shredders and chippers, this was disappointing. After a few years of use, it's still disappointing!
Short version:
Perfect for: gum tree branches
Slow and ineffective for: everything else (leaves, prunings, shrubs)
It's perfect for things like gum tree branches. It will pull in the branch and munch it up easily. Quiet enough to use in a suburban back yard without complaints from the neighbours. Also quite safe to use compared to the petrol shredders that I grew up using. If you mostly need it for things like this, then you...Read more
don't need to spend the extra on a big chipper and those things are huge! On the other hand, for a lot of other things you might want to put into your compost bin, it's painfully slow and ineffective! Dead leaves? Nope! Leafy plants you pulled out of the garden? A pair of scissors might do it quicker! Prunings? They come out just a little munched up, not finely cut up like you get from a proper shredder. This remains true even if you set the blades as tight as it will allow.Purchased at Bunnings Warehouse.

A chopper not a mulcher. This does not mulch
It goes well, is very easy to use and a simple way to reduce your tree waist.
What it is:
It’s a chopper. It chips and chops your trees and branches into one to two inche pieces.
What it isn’t:
It’s not a mulcher and really doesn’t shred either.
it works best when the material you’re using is not fresh. I chop my trees and then leave it for a week to dry out. ...Read more
It does chop/ eat trees into a smaller enough size to either dispose of or pile up on the garden. It’s not mulch and it doesn’t shred. It’s bacially and electric cutter which does a job very well. Just don’t buy this if you want a actually garden mulcher.Purchased in December 2018 at Bunnings Warehouse for A$449.00.

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.
