    Good Points: Customer Service


    General comments: I bought this product from Garden 4 Less but it was damaged in transit. As this was not discovered within 7 days, I was unable to get a refund or replacement, and so contacted Ryobi. Their customer service team were extremely helpful and arranged to pick up the faulty shredder and replace it with a new one which is working fine.

    This Ryobi ESR-2240 Electric Garden Shredder turned out to be unreliable, only cuts twigs. Branches and bark is too hard. Electrics seize up. Returned it to Bunnings and got a new one only to use it for 3 hours after which it stopped working.

    I read the other reviews of this Ryobi ESR-2240 after I had purchased the machine from Screwfix! (£99.99 inc. delivery) so it was with some misgivings that I started work with it. I have just spent the morning shredding a good deal of prunings from various shrubs which has condensed down to 2 rubbish sacks instead of the 10 I would normally finish up with!The thickest branch I has was about 25mm and it dealt with this comfortably. I suspect all manufacturers are at times guilty in overstat ...

    The Ryobi ESR-2240 Electric Garden Shredder/Mulcher is not a good buy! I personally think the blade is spinning at such a high speed it cannot grab the wood to draw it in.
    Very disappointed, packed it up and sent it back to dealer.

    I think a shredder with a "worm drive" mechanism may be more efficient.
    This draws in the wood like a mincing machine, which is cut by another spinning blade underneath.
