Good Points
Very quiet.
Bad Points
Slow.
Clogs easily on softer stuff.
General Comments
I hired this from a local shop and was disappointed.
It constantly clogged on softer material such as ivy and creepers, which I had in abundence. The only plus point was that it was quiet. On the flip side I only managed to shred a fraction of what I hoped to achieve. Next time I will opt for a more noisy (but more efficient) model.

John, I have owned an AXT 2000HP shredder for some 8 years. I know what you mean by clogging up but it specifically says hardwood. The secret is to cut several shrubs at the same time and feed them sparingly but as an assortment i.e. roses or ivy with a hardwood shrub such as conifer branches. I wouldn't be without mine and after a while you'll get to know what shreds readily and what doesn't.
