I think it was last year when there was a thread about this and we intended
following the advice but didn't get round to it - story of my life! Trouble
is, since we'd determined to buy a new one we gve a son the old one. It
worked well but was noisy.

Models might well have changed now - has anyone any ideas please?

I'd like one which will deal with branches up to 1" (25mm) thick - easily -
and which isn't too bulky and is relatively quiet.

TIA,

Mary
please don't say go to urg by the way!
