A Sad Disappointment,
By Maven of Mortar (Yakima, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: McCulloch 15-AMP Electric Chipper/Shredder MCS2003 (Lawn & Patio)
I was so excited for this item to arrive. I had oodles of tree and shrub clippings to shred. My excitement lasted up to the point of putting the chipper together. Assembly was a challenge. There were two sets of directions and neither enhanced the other - both were vague and conflicted each other and the illustrations were smeared so parts were not clearly viewed. I figured out the wheels and attaching the legs part and thought the hopper part would be a snap. Wrong. The collar of the hopper did not nest down on to the top of shredder and required much shoe horning with multiple screwdrivers. Then a nut that was nestled inside the hopper lining popped out and required much maneuvering with the help of my daughter's tiny hand to get it back in place. I drafted many unhappy notes to McCullough in my head while wrestling with seating and securing that hopper. Okay - now to get to what I was looking forward to - shredding. Another huge disappointment. Many of the clippings I put through came out looking the same except with minor peeling or chomping. It was suggested I stuff the hopper and chute and then use other branches to push down and force the material into the blade - that sort of worked, but caused considerable jamming. I'm really disappointed and am probably going to end up sending this back and investing in something that may cost more, but gets the job done... I'm open for suggestions!

blades dull quickly!,

This review is from: McCulloch 15-AMP Electric Chipper/Shredder MCS2003 (Lawn & Patio)
I was able to assemble this item without much fanfare. I did one little pile of brush/leaves yesterday. Today when I went to do another little pile, the blades were so dull, the twigs just whirled around in the hopper, even pushing hard wouldn't cut it. I switched the blades around to use the other side and was able to get the 2nd pile done. Now I have a bunch of teeny piles that need to be done, however, the blades are so dull, the chipper is useless. I tried sharpening the blades like you do the lawn mower -- no luck. Be prepared to purchase lots of blades!

Avoid this machine,
By SS "troutchaser" (Fort Collins, Colorado USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: McCulloch 15-AMP Electric Chipper/Shredder MCS2003 (Lawn & Patio)
I found this machine to be unsatisfactory for shredding leaves and garden waste. The hopper has two slots for material, one for leaves that is too small, and another for twigs and branches. I had to force the leaves through the slot with a stick to get them into the hopper which was time consuming and allowed only a half a bucket of leaves at one time. Small leaves such as elm might flow through on their own. The twigs and flower stalks were hard to jam through the slots and they balled up inside the machine, again needing a stick to force them through to the cutter blades (definitely a safety concern). The blades dulled quickly. MTD (parent company of McCulloch) tech service was unresponsive.
