Bosch AXT Rapid 2000

I do not share the previous reviewer's thoughts. I had a 2000HP previously, and this AXT Rapid 2000 is not in the same league, being very reluctant with anything other than twigs. Only the lightest of work should be considered its forte, I'afraid. Buy a bigger and more powerful machine, the extra is worth it.

I bought this model as it was the cheaper option, as I already own (the now discontinued) Bosch 2000 HP,I figured that this would shred all the twigs and bits that the 2000 HP would not touch. I gave this five stars and a recommendation as it did exactly what I wanted. However a caveat I would not consider putting anything over 6MM (despite handbook stating 35MM) through this machine, after an hour's use the blade was lightly marked, I would suggest that the blade should be considered as a "consumable part". Overall a good machine for light use but don't expect it to chop up large branches, you will need to hunt down a 2000 HP or one of its successors.
