Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2023
A few minor negatives for this model (please pay attention Sun Joe) - The clip-on bracket to hold the paddle is worthless. It attaches too low to the unit. One can let the paddle sit inside the handle of the unit, but that ends up blocking the on/off switch a bit -slightly inconvenient but not a big deal. The paddle has a leash but the leash is loosely attached to the handle of the paddle and cannot be adjusted. As a result, it ends up sliding to the bottom of the handle, resulting in the leash getting in the way while one pushes material into the inlet port. It would have been better for SunJoe to simply get rid of the clip-on bracket and fix the leash to the top of the handle of the paddle and provide a a hook for the paddle higher up on the side of the unit for easier access.
July 30, 2022 Update
This chipper does a better job with small twigs and green leaves than I thought. Although not perfect, it does a pretty decent job and shredding these as long as I don’t feed too much at once and let the motor pull the branches in rather than shove them down with the paddle. I give this 4.5 stars.

Easy to unclog but the screw has to be turned a long time to have the top flip up. But great for doing sticks and leaves and turning them into mulch. The older. this drier. the wood, the easier it chips but does chip fresh cuts with ease. Bought it on sale, sale just popped up after I researched it, maybe because I researched it, and was $45 cheaper than Home Depot and delivered free to my door in about 2-3 days.
When putting the wheels on the axle, make sure you tighten the waxed nylon locknuts provided with the wrench provided or your own wrench.
Update: I am impressed enough that I bought another one, I burnt the first one out my fault, tried to force to big a branch through the machine, saw smoke coming out thought it was the branch burning, unfortunately it was the motor my bad. Oh well. Still impressed enough to buy again and I am just as impressed with this one just gotta be a little more patient 👍🤔🤔
The specs say it can handle tree branches up to 1.5" diameter.
I vehemently disagree with that statement.
Anything over 1/2" diameter becomes a real problem. It really struggles to chip anything above 1/2 " diameter.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT.
