Bosch AXT Rapid 2000 Review

I bought this model as it was the cheaper option, as I already own (the now discontinued) Bosch 2000 HP,I figured that this would shred all the twigs and bits that the 2000 HP would not touch. I gave this five stars and a recommendation as it did exactly what I wanted. However a caveat I would not consider putting anything over 6MM (despite handbook stating 35MM) through this machine, after an hour's use the blade was lightly marked, I would suggest that the blade should be considered as a "consumable part". Overall a good machine for light use but don't expect it to chop up large branches, you will need to hunt down a 2000 HP or one of its successors.
