EFCUT C30 Wood Chipper Shredder Mulcher 7 HP 212cc Heavy Duty Engine Gas Powered 3 inch Max Wood Diameter Capacity Reduction Ratio 20:1, EPA Certified, 2-Year Warranty

When I got a hold of this item, I was in need of an inexpensive machine to catch up on shrubs that had over grown on my property. I find this issue a recurring problem year after year. To be honest, I wasn't entirely sure if this would get the job done due to its small size. I went ahead and took a chance and when it arrived, the size was slightly smaller than I had anticipated. Once I removed all the parts from the box and laid them out, the assembly was surprisingly simple. I didn't need to refer to the instructions very much. Don't get me wrong, this may differ according to your mechanical ability. The tools needed are supplied, as are some of the safety equipment and extra blades. Once the machine was assembled, I added oil, fuel, and it started right up. Seeing how it was the fist time it was started, I allowed it to run for a little while to see if there where any issues. The 7 HP engine ran beautifully.On the drum, there are two windows. One is for replacing the blades. There are four bolts holding it in place and once removed, simply rotating the wheel until the blade is aligned, it is very easy to change the blade if needed. The second window is located in the rear with a slide cover allowing you to remove any debris that may need to be removed. I found this to be a great addition to the unit not only for possible jams, but to allow for cleaning before storage.The handle is one of the reasons I chose this machine. I was looking at some of the others and I did not like the way the others looked. They did not seem to look as comfortable. If I am going to have to move the machine around my yard, I want it to move easily and comfortably. It also seems to be at a good angle to allow the unit to be "dollied" around the property. It definitely is at a good angle.The next day, I took it out to the property and began to chop and slash the overgrown brush. This took most of the day and I would like to think I gave the small machine quite a workout for its first time out. I was very impressed with how it kept up with as much as I was feeding it. The manual specifies it will accommodate up to 3-inch debris. While the largest I put through it was around 2 inches, I had no issues at all. It seemed to handle this with ease. I also had an older brush pile in my yard that had been there for a few years. I figured it was time to get rid of it as well. This wood was well aged and seeing how I live in a desert environment, it was dense material. This gave me a little worry because I was not sure if the machine could handle such hard wood like Manzanita, and aged Hackberry. I fed it through and it chipped it up with no issues. At one point, I did get a little overzealous and feed some material in a little too fast. It bogged the machine a little; however, I slowed down and allowed it to catch up. It had no problems handling the dry dense material.The mulches that are produced by the machine are said to be "Nutrient rich mulches and not just chips and shreds" I would have to agree with this. The cutting blades do an excellent job on the material that is fed through. The unit comes with a collapsible bucket to catch the mulch to make it easy to transport to where ever you want it. I found this to be a nice addition and much better than a tarp on the ground or other means. For the price of the machine and for what it does I am very extremely happy with the overall performance.I have to give this machine a five star review. I personally feel that it did the job that I needed it to do and it did it very well. I think this tool will last and will be of service to me for some time.

Great product, great customer service, read on... I finally had enough with all the burn piles around my property so I decided to recycle all that slash into beautiful landscaping material. I needed a medium duty chipper that would not shred my bank account so I went with the EFCUT C30. This seemed to be a great fit compared to the overprice machines at the local box stores. I could not be happier. This machine is built very solid and easy to put together. After I filled it with gas and oil it started on the second pull of the cord. After that it has always started on the first pull. I contacted the seller because I have a special shipping situation and they happily worked with me to make sure that it arrived safely and quickly. I really appreciated the extra set of blades and I thought the safety glasses and ear plugs were a nice touch. It came with all the tools you need to assemble the product except maybe a pair of needle nose pliers that came in handy for putting the cotter pins in the wheels. I haven't had the chance to put a ton of hours on this machine before winter set in, but you can bet that ill have it out in the spring before the lawnmower even comes out. This is a great benefit to my property and will help with my garden preparation in the spring as well. Super happy with the product and the personal service that I received. I am a very happy customer. I went ahead and made a video to show how it is packaged, how to assemble, and some operation tests that I did. Hope you find it useful.

Used the chipper for 6 hours straight, and it did not miss a lick. It is a little loud, hence the earplugs that are supplied with it. It took 2 shipments to get to my house. The first shipment was damaged by fedex who returned it without even trying to deliver to me. The seller was diligent in sending a new one right out, which when delivered had a hole in the box and 1 wheel missing. I decided the keep the second one and replace the wheel myself from (harbor freight). Came with everything else stated on the websight, eye and hearing protection, extra set of blades, and a bag for the clippings.Update: Now trying to return this as on the second day of use, the motor shut off and now will not start. We will see if the seller honors the 3 year warranty that it states it has. Fingers crossed.Final update: Seller requested pictures of the damage. I promptly sent the pictures out, only to never hear from the seller again.
