BARGAIN GARDEN SHREDDER!

I was in ALDI today and found a 2400W Garden Shredder made by a company called Gardenline on sale from £69.99 to £49.99! It can shred any garden stuff up to 40mm and comes with a 2 year guarantee! Ive been looking for one of these for sometime and in fact Argos sells a similar spec. machine for £149.99!

I had to buy it. The instructions are somewhat confusing but I managed to assemble it without much problem...they supply all spanners, allan keys and screwdrivers for the job in the box!. It is very quiet too and did a reasonable job shredding whatever twigs i had to hand. The Selly Oak, Birmingham Store had at least 20 of these left and I really do recommend it as a great bargain to any gardeners out there...I have not been able to find one cheaper! :D

Sounds good, does it shred into a bin / hopper or something similar?

I would love one of them for some reason. I don`t have a garden though. All I need is an extention lead that can reach the local park, or a bumper pack of pencils and away I go.

all the best,

The 42%er.


It`s not easy being different. It`s not easy being cool....but somehow I manage....

It does not come with a bin/hopper. I find its best to use a cheap plastic tub or any bin liner/sack over the bottom of the chute.....A tub is preferable as you can see when it becomes full rather than clogging up the machine! Another poster in the DVD Forums said he picked this shredder up for £39.99 in his local ALDI store...AMAZING! I challenge ANYBODY to find a similar spec machine for cheaper!

Sounds a great deal!!

I spent 2 hours driving over to Hounslow and the Feltham only to find this is a bin-end from Summer and only available at particular (unspecified) store(s), not these two. Also, Aldi don`t post phone numbers on the web which doesn`t help. :(

Oh to live near Brum again!

Happy Shredding!!
