    I have had this shredder for two years now, and I think it is one of the best on the market.

    The two previous models were disc shredders which are cheaper but useless.

    This machine uses a spiral cutting machanism which deals with most shredding with ease and aplomb.

    I was surprised to read reports of dismantling the machine, and it makes me wonder if the reviewer was talking about the same machine, as dismantling is an almost houly occurrence on disc shredders.

    To sum up, if you need a shredder, you will struggle to find a better shredder on the market than the Bosch AXT 2000HP.

    This Bosch AXT 2000 HP 200w Electric is a very clever machine. If it detects you have more than five leaves per pruning then the automatic clogging mechanism operates within minutes! in the hope it will clear itself you might try putting put a couple of larger leaf-free pieces in. Unfortunately at this stage these usually go in the top but with nothing coming out the bottom! Then you're really in trouble! The only way to clear it is to dismantle the whole darn thing (3 times so far this year). ...

    The adverts for the Bosch AXT quite clearly state the waste will be 'ready for composting' and 'material is ideal for rapid composting'. This could barely be less accurate. The waste comes out in approx 25mm long pieces which, with anything over 5mm will take AGES to compost... Doesn't perform at all well with leaves either so its just a method of compacting small branches- This product is not fit for purpose so am returning mine

    If you have a mixture of dry and green material that you can alternate then the Bosch AXT 2000 may be satisfactory but for green material on its own it's hopeless!

    DO NOT BUY THIS MACHINE - Bosch AXT 2000 - looking at the other comments I seem to not be the only one! I have tried to contact Bosh, still waiting for reply.Up until now I have always recommended buying a good make, sorry to say that Bosh no longer makes the grade for me.

    The actual machine would be great if the spiral held up. I would suggest only shredding cuttings of half the quoted size. Now left with the decision to scrap the machine or take a chance on a replacement spiral. Bought from new 6 months ago, so considering the short usage, cost and effort involved, a skip for the cuttings would have worked out cheaper for me.

    I have loved being able to shred my waste instantly. Very frustrated now it is not working. The screw blade looks chipped to me

    I had to replace two spirals on my Bosch AXT 2000 HP in two years @ £100 each.
    Both damaged by joints on 10mm twigs!

    I would recommend this mulcher to anyone, even with palm fronds, as 99% of palm fronds only cause us annoyance by falling on the ground, when they are reasonably dry and hard.
    My 2 units went under water up over the motors during recent floods and I am in contact with BOSCH Aust. and I am waiting on a reply to find a Supplier of this unit so that I can purchase another 2.

    General design is dubious - relies on a screw thread with sharpened edges to chop material, then has a rotating cutter supposedly to clear any material that hasn't chopped. Screw thread works fine on dry brittle material, just mashes soft and fibrous stuff, which the rotating cutter fails to clear. I've disassembled my machine three times to clear it, and have tried to fix the rotating cutter to do the job it appears to have been intended for, and failed each time.
    The fibrous material can ...

    Up to now I've been a bonfire man, but with the need to preserve the atmosphere I decided to start shredding. After a lot of heavy pruning in the garden this year, I have shredded about ten wheelbarrows full of good quality garden mulch. My Bosch AXT 2000HP 200w Electric garden shredder has jammed a couple of times, but this was my fault. I'm very pleased with it, but the slugs are not, as it's difficult to slide over the mulch.

    The Bosch AXT2000HP 200w Electric garden shredder is a good performer. It does jam up on soft stems, mixing these with fir cones helps, although I usually leave soft items for a few weeks to dry out then no problem. I did buy mine after trying a friends and was impressed, a real boy's toy.

    Overall I think this is one of the best garden tools I've bought. Having read reviews on shredders before I purchased this about 8 years ago, I found most gardening programmes complained about shredders jamming, not big enough etc. I trusted the Bosch reputation and went for the most expensive one I could afford at the time plus it guaranteed to be the quietest.

    I haven't been disappointed, it does what it says it does, it's not as noisy as some electric lawnmowers and it's very portable. ...

    John, I have owned an AXT 2000HP for about 8 years and yes it does clog up but it specifically says for hardwood cuttings. The secret is to mix n match ie use roses or ivy with conifer branches (hardwood) and don't shove it all in at once. Mixture of branches fed into the shredder and it will shred without any problems. It doesn't like roots and it certainly doesn't like lots of soft leafy branches which is why it will clog. Follow the above and you'll find you'll get through piles of cut d ...

    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.

    I read all of the reviews, and I would have gone for the AXT 2200, but our local B&Q didn't have it in, but I was impressed by the scores given here, so I went for the Quiet AXT2000. I purchased it to do my mums garden, which has gone past mature and needs thinning out. It has Pyracantha Conteneaster Holly bushes, roses that are past their best etc around 6ft in size, so are reasonably substantial, but the branches were varied, from very small to 30mm. I had to reject and cut anything above 22mm ...

    The Bosch AXT2000HP 200w Electric garden shredder replaced a Ryobi, which I purchased and returned to the shop because it was useless.

    The Bosch is well worth the extra money!

    I bought the Bosch AXT 2000 HP 2000W shredder to cut down some of my seriously overgrown bushes so that we can replace the fence. Up till now I thought the electric hedge cutter was pretty good if not old and heavy. You could cut the bits up fairly small on the ground. Wrong! This shredder is awesome! I chose it from the reviews on this site, and bought it from Tooled-up.com. I have filled 7 garden waste sacks already. I had a garden waste sheet with handles; a few bricks hold it in place when i ...

    I bought the Bosch AXT2000HP 200w electric garden shredder a month ago to shred branches from a fir tree, brambles, cuttings from a thorny hedge and a buddleah bush, etc. It was a mixture of dry stuff originally cut weeks earlier, and green leafy stuff. It really can take in big long branches, like the picture on the box, which is fun to watch. The width of the aperture prevents you putting in branches that are too thick.
    A collecting bag is not provided (though apparently you can order one) ...

    The Bosch AXT2000HO is a solid businesslike machine which is easy to use and very efficient.
    Having read other reviews I decided this was the one to go for and have not been disappointed
