Under $200 buys a small electric chipper or shredder meant for light yard cleanup, such as twigs, small branches, leaves and garden trimmings. They are quiet and easy to store, but handle only thin material and can clog on green or stringy wood.
Check the maximum branch diameter, and treat it as a ceiling rather than a target. Look at the cord requirements, the feed chute design and how easy it is to clear a jam or empty the collection bag. If you regularly have limbs thicker than an inch or two, a gas or larger electric model will save time and wear on the machine.
