Someway down the to-do list (far enough that it would never get
to the top unaided), is to get a shredder for piles of garden
waste which I seem to be accumulating. This is mostly long lengths
of (now dry) privet branches.

I happen to have come across a second-hand Al-Ko H1800RS, which
looks quite substantial and made of steel. It doesn't seem to be
a current product, but looks same as their current H2500RS model.
The model number seems to be the power rating, so one concern I
have is if the 1800 model might be underpowered for what are now
dry branches. Anyone any experiance with this make, or even model?
