    Yes.

    Care to share your experiences? I am trying to recommend one & there's a big price gap between an electric & a decent petrol model.

    I have a bosch ,an electric one.cost 180 ish from memory. Have it about 5 years, tend to use it for one big job in spring and then sporadic rest of year. Does what it need it to do thus far.

    Bought an electric one a few years ago and got rid of it pretty quickly.

    No use for leaves and fine branches,no use for thick branches and of middling use on medium sized branches.

    Got a Lidl shredder, electric. Fine for a small garden, does the job, it does jam a bit occasionally but it was not expensive and I reckon good value.

    I have a Black&Decker electric shredder that I bought about 6 or 7 years ago. I think it is a bit of a toy to be honest. If I ever replace it I would definitely go for a petrol model.
