We are very pleased with are Bosch AXT Rapid 2200 shredder. Great value for the money, the Bosh Rapid 2200 shredder save us a lot of hard work in our garden as it is so easy to use, also we don`t have to worry what time of day we use it as it is not very noisy. The lead is lovely and long therefore we are not limited to where we use the Bosh Rapid 2200 shredder. another great feature of the Bosh 2200 shredder is it is very easy to move around the garden on its wheels. The quality of the Bosch rapid 2200 shredder is very good strong wheels, strong blades, easy to take apart and clean. Save a lot of room in the garden waste bin.

A little surprised that it didn’t come with an instruction manual but I’d had a shredder before so carried on. Initially not impressed with its abilities as I was feeding stuff in on the right hand side of the inlet, but switching to the other side and it was transformed ! Comfortably eats 40mm branches with a little effort from the operator to push it down. My one gripe is just how often it gets clogged up with leaves and twigs. It is very easy to open up and clean out, but the fact it is so easy suggests they expect it to get jammed frequently. Overall, fairly happy with it

Excellent - quieter & lighter than same model in 2021. Plenty of ooomph to cut twigs shrubs and tree branches. Def recommend for great garden shreddings and avoid trips to council tip.

I love Bosch products and am happy to pray a premium for their qulity and durability. Hoever i found this product failed to meet expectations and found the product useless! Ireturnedit and was given a full refund for which i am grateful My gardeners much cheaper tur ine model excollently did thwe job without an issue - be warned

Really impressed by this shredder, it is quieter than I thought and makes a good even mulch . It takes the smaller branches so easily , in fact I was shocked how they disappeared in front of me ! Great garden tool addition .

For the last 30 years I have owned an old Bosch shredder with the corkscrew blade. That machine was excellent (the motor failed eventually). This new one machine falls far short of that one. So far I have used this new machine only to shred dry branches from last year, up to 1.5cm in diameter. So my review is limited to that. It may behave differently with fresher and less dry material. I didn't feel that the machine would cope easily with dry branches thicker than 1.5cm. Mostly the shredded material came out as small pellets of wood but there were also some long shreds in there which isn't ideal for mulch, which is what I needed it for. The machine is very noisy, You definitely need ear protection - I used foam ear plugs which I found sufficient. Also the machine can snatch and whip the branches as you feed them in, so thick gloves also a must. It can eject branches too when they come into contact with the blades. Safety glasses therefore also a must. On the plus side, you can use a trug or bucket underneath to catch the shredded material, which is better than having an integral box like on some of the others. I used to enjoy shredding with my old machine. With this new one it is more stressful. You do have to take a lot of care and concentrate on what you are doing. It seems to do the job, mostly, hence the 4 stars. I will use it now to shred newer material and see how I get on

Bought this to save tip trips but not really sure it’s worth investing, the blade after using for the first time ~1hr is already dull, dented and blunt. Looking at replacing it is another £20 for genuine part. If it’s £20 for every time I cut back the garden 3 or 4 times a year, with the time you have to spent replacing parts, unclogging, chipping etc, I’d have been better off just doing the tip trips I think. It doesn’t handle bushes with a lot of greenery well after the blade is dull and then just continues to jam up with mush. Better to invest in reusable builders rubble bags for transporting to tip

The most amazing shredder. A work horse.

Tried it for a few hours, so far it's great, getting use to how much can fit in at once, as someone who loves shoving loads in at once, need to take time putting stuff in it. Chops it up to a nice size.
