Bosch Garden Shredder AXT 25 D (2500 W, Cutting Capacity: Max. Ø 40 mm, in Carton Packaging)

Product Information

Slower rotation speeds helps keep the noise down. It is still a lot louder than the Bosch crusher shredders. However, the Bosch AXT 25TC seems to happily cope with large shredding jobs. Some of this might be down to the feed hopper which seems much easier to feed than other shredders. There can be little doubt, the Bosch AXT 25TC sets the standards against which Electric Garden Shredders should be reviewed. When set-up well, it will effortlessly consume vast amounts of just about any plant waste you can put through it.

Bosch calls the AXT 25TC mechanism the Turbine Cutting system. What it has got to do with turbines escapes me. The cutter more resembles a cylinder lawnmower. The Bosch AXT 25TC boasts 2500W of garden shredding power. It is not the most powerful shredder we have reviewed but its unique cutting mechanism delivers an incredible 230kg/hr shredding capacity. Unlike other machines, the AXT25TC can readily meet the quoted throughput figure. In fact, it exceeds that of many, smaller petrol machines. Trust us – 45mm is getting up to small log size. It is quite something to put something of that diameter through an electric garden shredder and see it chewed up in moments. As with all Bosch products the 25TC seems solid and well built. If you do have a problem Bosch’s customer service is excellent.Not bad but you will still need a heavy duty, outdoor extension lead so you can easily move the shredder to where you want to do the shredding.

No matter what he throws in the shredder doesn’t miss a beat. The sound level is pretty realistic too.As the turbine rotates the blades trap the larger cuttings against the side plate. The blades then cut into the firmly held branches. As the wood is cut through the ongoing rotation of the turbine pulls the branches through the machine. Branches and clippings are cut by the blades rather than crushed so the shreddings are cleaner and more precise than those produced by the roller/drum mechanisms deployed in quiet shredders. The short video below shows the AXT 25TC in operation. While the women cuts off any big branches or knots with the lopping shears, the guy just gets on with feeding the machine.
