This powerful but exceptionally quiet-running shredder from Al-Ko not only makes it easy to dispose of garden waste, it will also leave you with bags of valuable mulch that can be used for composting or bed protection purposes. Its high-performance 2000w motor drives a recently redesigned shredder system that will accept large-diameter branches (up to 3.5cm), & which features a built-in guide-plate that combines with the extra-large hopper opening to facilitate efficient, kick-back- & clog-free feeding. A central locking screw makes it easy to access the cutting mechanism for cleaning. The Al-Ko Power Slider 2000R Electric Garden Shredder is constructed from the latest corrosion-resistant materials, with its plastic housing also working to keep noise-levels far lower than many similarly rated electric shredders. A rubber safety device ensures that shredded debris cannot be thrown out through the hopper-chute; while a sturdy two-wheeled, tubular-steel undercarriage confers stability & makes the unit easy to move from place to place. This model weighs just 19kg & comes with a lengthy three-metre mains cable.
