Perfect for getting all those awkward jobs done without too much hassle.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a name=\"CuttingSpeed\"><\/a>Cutting Speed<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re trying to get through a large job quickly, the faster the blades the quicker you\u2019ll be done.\u00a0 So getting the best cutting speed is always a great idea.\u00a0 The blades will chew up all the garden waste much faster, and will be less likely to get clogged up at the same time.\u00a0 The Bosch AXT Rapid 2200 &#8211; Electric Shredder has a cutting speed of 3650 rpm, which is pretty fast in the shredder world, so you wouldn\u2019t find yourself spending ages over this task.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a name=\"BladeType\"><\/a>Blade Type<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The type of blades on a shredder is really important, because they\u2019re the part that does most of the work.\u00a0 It\u2019s all very well having lots of power, but if you don\u2019t have blades that can handle the job, all they\u2019ll do is get jammed on thick branches.\u00a0 Then you\u2019ll run the risk of damaging your tool or burning your motor out. \u00a0The Bosch AXT Rapid 2200 &#8211; Electric Shredder has laser cut, twin edged blades to give it a stronger cut through tough material.\u00a0 And because the blades are double sided they can be reversed to make them last longer.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a name=\"Pay\"><\/a>How Much Should You Expect to Pay?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve seen the Bosch AXT Rapid 2200 &#8211; Electric Shredder for sale online at up to \u00a3200, but when I checked it out on Amazon I found it for only \u00a3135.95* which is an excellent discount on such a fantastic piece of gardening equipment.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a name=\"Included\"><\/a>What\u2019s Included:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Motor overload\/Restart protection<\/li>\n<li>Plunger for material input<\/li>\n<li>4 meter cable<\/li>\n<li>Large capacity hopper<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><a name=\"Saying\"><\/a>What Others Are Saying<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I read quite a lot of reviews on the Amazon website to try and get a clear idea of what other people thought about the product, and here are some of the things they were saying:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cIt was easy to assemble and operate.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cIt was easy to reverse the blade\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cRapidly reduced a pile of climbing rose prunings to shreds\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cAs a first timer with shredding I can highly recommend it\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201clots of good compost created quickly\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cThis is my first shredder and I wish I&#8217;d bought one years ago\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><a name=\"BadStuff\"><\/a>The Bad Stuff<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There weren\u2019t too many complaints about the Bosch AXT Rapid 2200 &#8211; Electric Shredder which was reassuring, but if there were any criticisms then they seemed to be that it was difficult to shred garden waste when it was wet.\u00a0 Most people just opted to keep the shredding covered or wait until a dry day to finish the job.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a name=\"Warranty\"><\/a>Does it include a Warranty?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes.\u00a0 The Bosch AXT Rapid 2200 &#8211; Electric Shredder comes with a 2 year guarantee for parts and labour.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a name=\"Buy\"><\/a>Where Can You Buy the Nilfisk C120 2-6 PAD Big Accessory Pressure Washer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You can buy the Bosch AXT Rapid 2200 &#8211; Electric Shredder online at Amazon which is where I found it.
