Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Item arrived , well packed and easy to assemble as per the user manual. The addition of the fuel funnel, engine oil packet and safety glasses were a good idea. I have read the reviews and was putting good money down on a well received machine. Maybe I was the one who got a bad one from the build batch, who knows. I would definitely try another one. Once setup and ready to run, the machine worked well and chipped some leavers, sticks and grasses as planned. However on stopping the machine I noticed a bolt had sheared off the external casing that protects the user from high spinning blades and internal gears. This was the one and only time I started the machine and used it. The workload was not severe, I didn't over use it. Unfortunately this ruined my confidence in the overall build quality and fittings and finish of the machine and I wasn't prepared to continue using the chipper. Also the collection bag, while looking very sturdy is made of a material that catches particles inside and pulls threads making holes in it. They maybe need to reconsider the material choice.
