Bosch Trituradora rápida AXT RAPID 2200

A great shreader but it too heavy for moving around on grass or uneven ground.

I have owned a Bosch AXT Rapid shredder for >10 years; this has a rotating blade but of late the centre mount had become unstable, meaning it didn't keep a wide enough opening for cutting. With a large quantity of hedge trimming to shred, I needed something to quickly shift the volume of material. The AXT 25D was certainly helpful and safe to use with the constraint of not chopping narrow twigs. I also will need to learn how much to alter settings to fully chop through the larger stems as well. I require suitably small pieces for incorporating into a compost mix or for mulch. Overall satisfactory with the caveat of needing a second shredder for small pieces, but that also takes more time to finish the task. I wonder if it's possible to design a combined crushing action with a cutting blade?

Great shredder for general garden use. Chops up small branches easily but not so great on green shrubbery etc, can get clogged easily on stuff like that but is easy enough to clear. Better with dry material but I'm happy enough with it for the purpose I bought it for. Small and dry things work well but don't expect it to shred a Leylandii easily, it doesn't like soft green material too much.

Munches nicely through copious amounts of buddleja making lots of lovely clippings. Same with other large woody shrubs. When it came to the fuchsia, the little leaves caused it to have a complete fit and needed to be taken to bits and clear. Definitely worth getting but my top tips are to wait until it’s finished chewing before putting the next thing through and, if you’ve got little leaved plants, put some big leaved plants in to clear out the innards Oh and if you’re going to stick 9 foot brambles in it, the clippings are still spikey!!!

I sturdy and good product, the only con is that it can get clogged up easy meaning you have to open the cover quite frequently, to clean any blockages. Other than that it is a good shredder for small jobs.
