What Customers Are Saying
The wood chipper has mixed reviews, with some customers finding it powerful and effective at chipping branches up to 2-3 inches, while others experienced serious issues like jams, breakdowns, and the unit catching fire after limited use. Reported problems include poor quality components, such as wheels falling off, blades breaking, and the chipper bag tearing. The oil fill location was also found inconvenient, and the starting instructions unclear by some users. Overall, the chipper seems to work well for some, but has a high rate of mechanical problems, making it a risky purchase for many.

The machine, when it worked, was pretty good. Chipped a lot of different size branches. It lasted about 6 months and something broke. Contacted the warranty service department. The guy I had wouldn’t listen and was condescending. He tried telling me the bolt that came undone had locktite on it and I just needed to put some more on.

Treat Chipper Well & it will Treat You Well
Overall a great product. Little issues with loading small tiny branches 3/8" or less alignment with shoot is key. Also, the engine bigs down quite a bit when you put though long 3" saplings in the side. I have a 80 foot maple dropped and have used the chipper a total of 10 hours so far and honestly I can't complain too much.

parts are impossible to get
I have owned the 533 for 3 years and use it all the time for yard waste and use the mulcher a lot (works o, rate it a 3 for performance). I have had to replace the mulcher blade holder and needed to wait more than 2 months for parts. I should have purchased two as I need another one and again it is out of stock with about 70% of the other parts for who knows how long. Forget it folks, if you can't get parts in a timely manner do you really want to own products from this company? check out their...
