Things to consider when buying an electric or petrol wood chipper

Some wood chippers and garden shredders are noisier than others - so if noise is a big problem for you, it's important to make sure you buy a quieter model. Unfortunately the quieter wood chippers are usually more expensive and use a different cutting mechanism.
The louder and cheaper models operate with a spinning blade which carries out the chipping and chopping, while the more expensive and quieter models - sometimes referred to as silent shredders - operate with cogs which turn and drag the material into the chipper where it has crushed and cut. But the noisier type of wood chipper requires branches and other material to be pushed directly into it. If the level of noise is not an issue for you, I cheaper wood chipper will be adequate for the job - but you'll need to spend a bit more sure silent chipper if you want to keep the decibels level down.

Next you will need to consider whether to buy a petrol wood chipper or electric chipper. As is the case with most garden appliances and DIY tools, a petrol-driven option is usually more expensive. An electric chipper must be connected to a cable so it's important to ensure this is long enough to reach to the area of your garden where the shredding is to be carried out otherwise you will need to connect it to an extension cable.

Petrol wood chippers and garden shredders are normally much more powerful and can be moved around your garden at ease without the need for a power cable. A petrol wood chipper produces a higher quality of chippings than its electric counterpart but will require more maintenance and regular petrol refills.

The wood chippings from twigs and branches is good for spreading around the base of trees, bushes bedding plants while the mulch from the leaves and lighter foliage is good for other uses including adding to compost.

Maintenance of your wood chipper is very important if it is to serve you well for many years. Study the instruction manual carefully and ensure your chipper is kept clean and dry - so don't leave it outdoors when not in use.
You should also pay careful attention to a maximum size of twigs and branches per your wood chipper shredder is capable of dealing with - most wood chippers or garden shredders will handle a maximum diameter of 40 mm - for anything larger than this you will probably require a log splitter, hatchet or a chainsaw.
