Pros
- The self feeding chute pulls branches in, so you guide them rather than push
- A wide 21 x 14 in hopper takes bushy limbs without much trimming first
- Briggs & Stratton engine with wide dealer service coverage
Cons
- At 205 lb it is heavy to push across a yard by hand
- A 10:1 reduction leaves coarser chips than 20:1 machines
- No collection bag and no hitch
