Electric chippers?

[bluethruandthru]

I'm thinking of getting one of the small electric wood chippers. There's a pretty wide range of prices - about $159 to over $600. I know you get what you pay for...but I'm wondering if anyone has used these and, if so, what kind do you have and how well did it work for you?
Thanks!!

3. Have a small McCullough Shredder.

I don't think they are in business anymore. The little thing eats small 1" - 1 1/2" branches and is great for leaves of course.

If you can find one, we recommend.

5. Thanks!

That's the size I'm looking at. Different brand, though. I wanted to be sure it would handle normal yard clippings.
