I don’t know how many bags of mulch my wife Nancy has used in the last 10 years – probably enough to mulch the state of Delaware. but in the future, we won’t be needing quite as many of those heavy 50-pound bags. That’s because we now have a new Electric Wood Chipper.
There is nothing I hate worse than dragging plastic bags filled with twigs and sticks to the curb for Monday morning trash pickup. That’s because I know those plastic bags will languish at some landfill for years and years, so by spreading our mulch and twigs in our own yard, our plants will benefit, as will the environment.
Nancy called around, looking for a chipper/mulcher locally and no one had any. But Amazon did. They seem to have everything.
So we ordered the Sun Joe CJ601E 14-Amp Electric Wood Chipper/Shredderon Saturday morning and it was on our doorstep at 3 PM on Sunday.
The chipper cost $114.99, which should pay for itself within a couple years.
According to Sun Joe, “The CJ601E electric wood chipper and shredder generates speeds of up to 4,300 revolutions per minute, making quick work out of the brush, leaves and branches overcrowding your lawn. Designed for light-duty jobs, this wood chipper effectively chips and shreds wooden sticks and limbs up to 1.5-inches thick, reducing your yard waste up to 1/16th its original size. The minimized wood chips resulting from Sun Joe’s efforts are perfect for use as garden mulch around your trees and flower beds.”
It’s easy to assemble (Nancy did it by herself) and virtually maintenance free, the Sun Joe electric chipper and shredder is ready to go when you are. Just plug it in and instantly start chipping. Unlike gas-powered tools, the electric-powered Sun Joe means you don’t have to deal with smoke, fumes, unpredictable starters and costly tune-ups. The CJ601E also features a safety stop that automatically engages when the hopper is opened. The Sun Joe electric wood chipper/shredder is ETL-approved and backed by a full two-year warranty.
Look out, twigs, our new Electric Chipper is locked and loaded.
