Mac Allister MIS2500 2500W 80KG HR Garden Shredder 240v - Review

[@mollysascat]

Thank you for taking time to do vt. Very helpful

[@TsLeng]

I got one today. I think they changed the design and the fins at the outlet are no more. Brilliant little thing.

[@DanielJohnHowTo]

it does make a different removing those fins because it backs up too easily otherwise from experience, probably realised and updated the design.

[@pete2109]

I don’t like how it spits out from the top!🤷‍♂️ Thanks for taking the time to show us 👍

[@DanielJohnHowTo]

just be careful when using it, wear gloves/eye protection and keep your distance for safety

[@pete2109]

@@DanielJohnHowTo Thanks for the reply, but I’ve plonked for the Ryobi 3000 as its got a better and bigger feeding system and spares are readily available, thanks again fir the vid 👌👍👏

[@johnoshea9619]

Bought one of these second hand really impressed. Yes it's a bit dangerous you should wear full face protection really 😮 still amazing what it can do.

[@DanielJohnHowTo]

eye protection and gloves as a minimum really you're right.

[@aceofspades5786]

good bit of kit for getting the waste ready for composting

[@Paulie1978100]

Great review lads, thanks!, heading to screw fix to pick one up! 👍🏽

[@lesleychurch3479]

Thank u for this, i will buy one

What about freshly cut branches, be a bit of a mess in the garden to have to wait.

[@angelaelliott6390]

I have one and would love to know how to change the blades

[@leynagh]

Wondered why you cut that first piece from the pile in half .Just borrowed my sons new one and the two thing it didn't like were L shaped pieces and small lengths which rattled around . If a piece enters the cutter sideways ( L shape or short length ) it's wider than the 45mm max and can/will jam the cutter . Twigged this (no pun intended ) after several blockages in fairly quick succession . I was chippng a massive Buddleia and found the best thing was to sort the branches into a pile of straightish lengths with side branches , root gnarls and bends lopped off. After that it was happily munching 7ft lengths no problem.

[@DanielJohnHowTo]

Thanks for sharing your experience, I have used this machine alot and one thing I can say is that there's a few things to learn but once you know it's all good.

[@brandontierney358]

I got one and it jammed because i tried using a branch that was slightly too big for it and now i cant get it working again. Ive tried redetting it, ive opened the lid and and theres nothing blocking it. What can u do to get it to start up again? I press on and it just cuts out after 1 second

[@DanielJohnHowTo]

could be thermal cut-out, if it's hot

[@No.Handle31]

It's a machine not bad for the money kicks back a bit with lager sticks. And you do have to stop to unjam the blade and the hood.

[@DanielJohnHowTo]

pretty much, just have to be careful when using it I wear gloves/eye protection and stand well back.

[@Bananaskin101]

have you tried cardboard in it, for composting?

[@DanielJohnHowTo]

the way the blade works it's not really suitable for that type of material it's better chopping small bits off solid items for example sticks.

[@darren_adv]

Hi, have you used this with wet material, i.e. it rained here yesterday, not sure if we can use the machine until material is completely dry.

[@DanielJohnHowTo]

branches with moisture content in them yes, not soaking basically this thing chips bits off so it's best to leave it to dry if you can really

[@VeeBee81]

Do you think it would chop paper?

[@DanielJohnHowTo]

no it's the wrong tool for the job get a paper shredder

[@MrMesospheric]

A heavier duty mower run over the waste is much faster and, given you also get a mower into the bargain, cheaper.

[@davidaemayhew]

Price!

[@DanielJohnHowTo]

around 50-80 when we bought it

[@No.Handle31]

Got mine In screw fix £80

[@MONKIPANTS]

Oh boy this machine is not safe in my opinion, it's spitting out more debris on the top than the bottom. It will say use eye protection but I think it should say use a motorbike helmet instead. With no disrespect to you, I love your enthusiasm in trying to promote this machine as being useful so hats off to you gentleman.

[@DanielJohnHowTo]

yeah you need to be careful with this machine, i have shredded a huge pile of branches so it does work but wear gloves and eye protection and stand back if you ask me.
