“Just bought the Ryobi RSH-2455 and tested it quite...”

written by bluethumb on 06/04/2010

Just bought the Ryobi RSH-2455 and tested it quite heavily for a couple of hours of constant operation yesterday, so far so good! Well... almost (see below).



Even without an initial adjustment of the shaving plate the machine produce a very good result, only some types of twigs were not fully cut but it doesn't matter at all for its purpose. I expect an adjustment to improve the result even further but you have to keep in mind these types of shredders are expected to leave some type of materials just partly processed.



On the negative side, my machine has a nasty habit of starting either in forward or reverse, seemingly unaffected by the forward/reverse knob. I have to determine visually what direction it has when starting it, sometimes it takes a few starts for it to start in the forward mode. This is not acceptable of course and the machine is going to be replaced or repaired on warranty. This is why I could only give it four stars.



The machine is still extremely useful even with this minor glitch in the control system and I'm very happy with the overall quality. I especially like the great power and the instant autoreverse function that kicks in if you happen to have too tough loads occasionally or something gets stuck in the hopper, no drama at all - just stop, fix the trouble and restart the machine, up and running within 30 seconds typically.
