Makita UD2500 Review

The Makita UD2500/2 Electric Shredder is a powerful machine which is ideal for branches, brambles and garden material with a thickness of 45mm. Its powerful 2500W motor lets the blades shred through such material with ease. We particularly like the anti-block system which reverses the direction of the blades to protect against jamming.

Debris is collected in a large 67 litre collection box. This box has a very large capacity and fits plenty of material inside thanks to the integrated crushing system. The shredder is also highly portable, featuring large rubber wheels and handles on both sides for comfortable carrying.
