For a small chipper this is an excellent product. The assembly was easy. The construction and design is brilliant. The chipper is designed for easy maintenance. The knives are easily accessible, the exit chute may easily be opened if clogged, the Honda engine is one of the best in the business. The welds are first class and it looks like it is built to last. The tires are puncture proof. I didn't put anything in it over four inches and this included a twenty foot 3.5 inch tree. It didn't miss a beat and chipped it without slowing the Honda engine down. Due to its weight I did struggle in pulling it up a hill even with my wife pushing while I was pulling. I would suggest you buy their towing package if you have a small tractor to pull it. This chipper is overall well worth the money for the homeowner. Since it was designed for the rental market it should last me many years with proper maintenance. Two thumbs up.
