This unit was easy to setup and move around. It starts easily and powers through what ever we feed it. It took us little while to find the sweet spot without over filling the feed funnel but then it's magnificent. Clean up is easy and it doesn't take up much space in the garage. We had a couple of questions and the phone support was impressive.

Assembly was easy, filling with oil was a little tricky (Of my many funnels, one could do it) but the engine started on the VERY first pull - so awesome! Since the tank was empty I was figuring it would take some pulls just to draw fuel in, but it fired up right away. Obviously, do read the manual for the engine to understand how the throttle, choke, fuel cut-off and engine cutoffs work.

The chipper does a good job on limbs it is sized for, but understand the limbs need to be straight, without any forks or anything else that will cause them to jam in the chute. Unjamming is a pain.

The shredder does a good but not great job on my live oak leaves - some pass through more or less untouched. I'm still looking for a great solution for live oak leaves, as the adjustable-intake string shredders that are available do an excellent job if the intake is made narrow enough, almost converting them to powder, but the leaves are so tough one needs to replace the string pretty often.

The shredder also does a good job on fibrous garden waste, but one needs to be careful not to feed too much in at once or it will jam in the chute.

The engine has a lot of power and the chutes are wide enough to easily take an arm, so unjamming the chipper or shredder while running is too terrifying for me. Early on it was jamming one way or another a lot but after some use, I learned what will cause a jam and generally was able to avoid those situations.

But the bag that is provided is just way too small - it fills quickly, meaning shutting down the engine, emptying the bag, and restarting, interrupting overall workflow. There is a bigger bag 24" by 48" that a buyer will want to get right away - factor that into the purchase decision as it is over $50. Also the bag attachment, with thumb screws, is not well thought out. An elastic over hooks would be much more ergonomic and interrupt workflow less.

I have the optional leaf vacuum on order but it hasn't arrived yet, so no experience with that..

So overall, looks like pretty good value for the money, but definitely with some quirks that need to be dealt with.

It looks great and has a great deal of power in a rather small package.
It's fairly easy to move around the yard and the wooded area. I have a towing hitch for it and it works well.
I would have liked the hopper to be a little wider and the collection bag to affix to the chute a little easier.
So far, after a few days, it has done all I have asked it to do. I am very happy with my choice.

I wanted to wait a while to do a review for this machine. I got it in spring, it's now July, I knew it was going to be a keeper when I initially opened the carton. I never saw something packed this way. Assembly was easy and flawless. All the hardware was there. This machine changed the way I do some things now. The limbs I trim off my pine trees becomes mulch for those trees. Corn stalks from my garden, ornamental grass cut from around my property become bedding for my chickens. I used to burn all that stuff. It absolutely will chew up a limb up to 3" in diameter regardless of length in milliseconds. It's a joy to use. The machine starts within a couple pulls of the rope every time. It's not as hard on fuel as I expected it to be. I held back a star on maneuverability. My property is not totally level. I have to either pull or push it. The hard plastic tires are a disadvantage. Foam would be better, in my opinion. When I bought it, a tow bar was advertised but no longer in stock, or available. Since then, one has become available on Amazon. Cheaper than before. I got one and look forward to towing it with my yard tractor. It doesn't take up much space in the garage either.

I followed the instructions and was surprised it started right up!
