How to choose a wood chipper
It is important to keep some key aspects in mind before buy a wood chipper. The first point to consider is the type of material to be ground. Garden shredders are designed to shred different materials, such as branches, leaves, grass, twigs and food scraps. It is therefore important to choose a model capable of shredding everything and efficiently.
In addition, it is important to consider the size of the wood chipper. It depends on the amount of material to be ground. If large amounts of material need to be shredded, it is advisable to opt for a larger model. On the other hand, to shred small amounts of material, a smaller model may suffice.

Types of wood chippers
There are three main types of wood chippers: electric, gas-powered, and manual.
electric wood chipper
Electric wood chippers are easy to use, but have limited runtime compared to gas-powered wood chippers. In return, it is necessary to always have an electrical outlet and a power supply at hand.
