Did a beautiful job mulching my tree cuttings!
I'd been buying mulch for our front yard tree, and always end up with a big pile of branches after clearing our yard. Some of it, I can use for our fireplace, but the rest would end up in a pile behind the tall porch bushes. I finally got around to getting the sun joe mulcher and I was surprised at the fact that that growing pile was completely mulched in one shot. I wa...

Good but with limitations
The chips are not as clean as I would have liked. It is most definitely not for leaves, unless you have very few. The imput is simply too small and you end up feeding a handfull at a time. Once I accepted that, I am enjoying the chipper for smaller branches from the trees at the top of my ravine property. It is small, but do wear protective gear, especially if you are f...

Don't buy. You'll love it until the CP wears out
I love love love this product for chopping bamboo. It does absolutely everything I need it to do. HOWEVER, the counterplate is a consumable piece designed to be worn out, but you can't find it anywhere, and haven't been able to for years. Why they still sell this product without selling the consumable part is beyond me. That's like selling a printer but not having ink c...

Seems MADE to mulch dead bamboo!!!
This machine is THE best for mulching dead bamboo.... like this thing seems to be uniquely made for the task!!! Can do live bamboo too, but you have to whack the discharge shoot every few minutes to release the mulch that gets stuck up in it. BUT, that mulch that then gets released is the finest, most processed and smallest mulch the machine produces. I have been usin...

Higher price than many, but Much Better Product
This replaced a cheap electric chipper and is SO much better built. They obviously didn't cheap out on the components. They provide tools (OK, crappy tools) for both assembly And service/maintenance. It is not silent but it Is Much Quieter than the cheap chippers (similar to a table saw). Even the collection bag is higher quality. The main "wear" component is easil...

Good machine at a reasonable cost.
The SunJoe staff suggested the CJ603E as a good chipper to reduce my corn stalks and other soft and or damp materials. It performed well when I trimmed a pile of hedge branches and leaves. It took a while to chew up all the short items I had cut with my pole trimmer due to the small opening but it did get the job done and with no clogs.

No more brush piles
After looking at what was on the market, I decided to go with the CJ603E. I have to say I'm impressed. Here in the Northeast we have plenty of rock maple, oak, and pine that's constantly shedding branches. Add the branches that need to be pruned, and it adds up quickly.
Assembly was easy, with only the two legs and the axle to be installed. It is pretty stable and e...

Good product for backyard gardener.
I own this Shredder for 3 years and only repair I did to it was to sharpen the cutter wheel. It does what it advertised. I strongly recommend this product to anyone for this price. I don't hasitate to buy another one if I needed to.

Excellent machine
The CJ603E is a very effective machine and easy to use. Its light weight makes it easy to move. I have owned many woodchopper but find this product superior to all of the others.

I can’t kill it!!!
I’ve been using the chipper to clean up branches in the yard. I’ve used it continuously for one to two hours each time. Being a guy, I wanted to see if I could load it up with too much. You can. But, if used within its limits, it will go and go and go! I am very happy with it so far and can recommend this chipper for yard work.

Perfect for my small urban homestead!
This woodchipper is perfect for my little urban container garden. The woodchipper is super quiet when it runs and is able to chomp through the garden waste material at an impressive rate! I've also been happily surprised at the diameter of the branches it will get through! I haven't had to use the reverse button once yet :D This machine is a great value for any gardener...

Affordable but not perfect
I like using this product to dismantle small branches. However that's all it does. It cannot handle bigger than 1/4 inch size branches. I was hoping for a product upgrade to allow bigger objects.

Great Product
The little chipper that could. We have over 40 hours of use with this chipper and NO issues. Still the original cutting blade. We defiantly push this chipper to the limit and it has not disappointed. I constantly run 1 1/2"+ branches through this chipper.

My fourth 'home' chipper, Best ever
Performs as advertised. Low noise, low vibration. I've 'chipped' ten heaping wheel barrow loads of fallen twigs and small branches of ash and sycamore. We've had a lot of wind this spring! No jams, no issues. New footpaths!

Great tool, within expectations
I've worked with chippers small and large on job sites, and I knew this would be significantly different. It's not just a half step or so down from a gas engine powered chipper. That said, it performed great. The drier the better, and some plants were very problematic, like holly. Scotch broom was hit and miss. It turned a rather large pile of yard waste (mostly holly a...

Best "Little" Chipper in the World
I said "little" since this is not a commercial grade chipper. Don't expect to grind up a huge tree. This is a handy man's yard tool to grind up small tree branches, bush trimmings, palm fronds, etc. It seems to grind up branches a little bigger than advertised. Great! I think it is a great chipper. No regrets. I am considering adding an extended warranty, because I plan...
