Quiet, effective and hassle free
I've used it clearing a privet hedge. It chews through fresh cut privet and the loads that had been cut a few months earlier. It's very quiet, no heating protection needed and you won't annoy your neighbors on a Sunday morning with it. What used to take 4 runs to the tip now takes only one.

Impressive results
Bought this to clear 20 metres of hedging. Worked continuously over one weekend and handled the work easily. Just need to pay attention to the thickness of the branches to ensure smooth shredding, also the branches must not have any other growth for the initial 30-40cms so they can easily fit through the guide. The collection bin needs to be shaken occasionally to move the debris away from the shute otherwise you may experience some blockages, which is a bit frustrating. Small observations on an otherwise great machine that made light work of a lot of hedging, shredding the whole lot down to fit into 2 green garden bins. Very pleased with the purchase, the ease of operation and the impressive results!

Easy to assemble
I have always liked Spear and Jackson s products, that is the main reason why I purchased the shredder. Works really well

Hey John,
I can advise that the blue top part screws onto the black lid, so it cannot be dismantled when not in use unless these screws are removed each time.
Thanks for using Q&A.
Hello.
The S28ES Crushing Quiet Garden Shredder - 2800W is not suitable for bars of soap.
Thank you for using Q&A
The dryer the better.
Hello there,
After checking with our supplier, they have advised for the Spear & Jackson S28ES Crushing Quiet Garden Shredder - 2800W: ''No it is not vital that the branches are completely dry, but it is better if they are. Wet material may be more likely to clog the cutting wheel.''
Hope this helps.
Thank you for using Q & A.
This machine looks similar to the one sold by B and Q.I have found that it handles laurel branches effortlessly, however if there is a lot of top leaf growth it can sometimes cause blockage, resulting in having to remove the end cover to clear it Laurel leaves are slightly sticky .
Hi Kaz,
The Spear & Jackson S28ES Crushing Quiet Garden Shredder - 2800W easily tackle garden waste up to 42mm in diameter. The crushing action powers a rotating drum that pulls the garden waste in where it is crushed into chippings or mulch, as long as the laurel is no thicker than 42mm diameter it will be fine.
Thank you for using Q&A

Thanks for using Q&A
Is the box closed properly as otherwise the machine will not work? Don't have any other suggestion.
Hi Jerry.
The Spear & Jackson S28ES Crushing Quiet Garden Shredder - 2800W is intended for tackling garden waste such as hardwoods and dry branches.
It is not intended for softer plant matter e.g. leaves, so is likely not suitable for your needs.
Thank you for using Q&A.
This brilliant machine will cut anything up to 6 CMS in diameter, green or brown. Just be patient with feeding material thorough the machine.
Not sure if you'll be able to feed weeds into the shedder if you can it'll deal with them as long as they are thick enough

Hello Chris,
I have spoken to our supplier who have advised as follows:
The Spear & Jackson S28ES Crushing Quiet Garden Shredder cuts to around 3cm - 4cm pieces.
I hope this helps.
Thank you for using Q&A.
I do find that branches thinner than, say, a pencil sometimes manage to escape being cut but I think that depends on the actual cutting setting. My shredder is set so it does not cut too thin. Any branches that 'escape' I simply break by hand and throw them back on to the garden with the rest of the shreddings. Nothing wasted!
Difficult one to answer, as it depends a lot on the material type. Some dry material it will literally crush into tiny pieces whereas green and hard brown material it will chop into 2cm pieces.
Chops them into roughly 3 cm square pieces although the larger branches tend to get flattened and end up like a belt
