Mountfield 2200w Electric

Great product easy too use great for what i needed it for Compact, neat machine! Reduces garden refuse for easy disposal. Great quality shredder, shreds really well, and the chippings are easy to empty out. I recommend this shredder

Fantastic machine had it 13years still awestruck by its operation never fails does everything it says on the tin Overbalanced once (my fault)broke the casing dismantled and repaired. Lives to shred another tree!

Great machine but I would not recommend it because I can not find any spare parts, so when cutter plate is worn you have had it. Buy new one not a Mountfield.

It seems that the carter is not strong enough. A friend of mine brought his shredder to give me a hand. We discovered that the carter (where the branches are introduced) was broken just down the hole.

Is it possible to repair or?

I've had the shredder for about 5 years. It lasted with average/heavy use for 4.75 years and worked quite well. However, in these heavy rains it had to be moved out of the wet and it slipped on the ground and the case was seriously broken. I taped it back together with duck tape and used it for a few more weeks. The motor has now packed up. I cannot find any spares so I think its had it. Pity!

can anybody tell me where I can get a new cutting plate from in the south of England ?

Mountfield 2200W electric garden shredder. I bought this shredder after moving into a house in the country that came with a large garden and some woodland. That was seven years ago and I bought this shredder in a hurry because I had lots on the go at the time But I am glad that I did. In the past seven years it has been used every year to shred overgrown shrubs and branches from trees that have been cut down, it has seen so much use that I expected it to give up a long while ago but it is still going strong. I like the way it crushes the material and delivers it in small sections the make it ideal as a surface for the paths in the woodland and garden.

It has done a great deal of work and the case is fine, plenty strong enough for what is required, I have read some of the other reviews and am amazed at how stupid some people can be-cutting a larger feed hole in the top!-if it will go into the hole then it will shred it. Not cutting properly- read the instructions and you will see that the mechanism can, and needs to be adjusted periodically with the allen key supplied via a hole in the side of the casing.

If you want to be at all critical then it is a tad unstable to move around but fine when set up. All the critical reviews tell me that people do not read the instruction book, expect to much of the machine and are incompetent.

This is incredible and i love it so much. My wife uses it every weekend.

I am totally addicted to my mountfield 2200w quiet shredder, it is simple to use, quiet (obviously ) and extremely useful. Anything you can fit into the top will come out the bottom in small pieces, I use mine to shred vegetable waste, hedge/bush prunings, cardboard and anything else that can go into a compost heap. I have read some reviews that were less than complimentary but I cannot understand why!You have to remember that it is nearly an electric motor and a cylinder with very sharp cutters on, if you try to overload it, it could block or jam, but the auto reverse function quickly and easily free's these jams.

a lot of people seem to expect to much of this product,I use a £450 petrol engined shredder and it to blocks with damp fine material.Its a good vale product,easy to use and reliable if not abused.
