Best Mulchers in the UK

Despite being fairly compact, this Bosch mulcher is a truly convenient and high-performance tool. This small appliance will help you get rid of leaves, twigs, shrubs, small branches, and other minor garden waste by turning them into an all-natural fertiliser for the soil.

Unlike many other shredders that have disc blades, this Bosch has its own patented Turbine-Cut System which processes up to 230 kg of waste per hour without any clogs. The multi-purpose shredder has an automatic feed with a wide hopper. Thus, the Bosch mulcher can easily handle twigs as thick as 45 mm.

The prodder will help you push the waste into the shredding system without any risk of damaging your hands. Even if the tool is for some reason clogged, you can quickly remove the hopper and clean the feed. Created with complete user safety in mind, the mulcher will not work unless it is assembled properly and the hopper is installed.

What we would also like to highlight is that thanks to silent cutting technology, this Bosch mulcher is very quiet during operation, so it will not disturb your family and neighbours.

In all, the Bosch AXT 25 TC is a solid and powerful tool for keeping your garden or yard clean and neat.

Makita is a well-known Japanese brand of power tools known for high quality and thought-out designs of their equipment. The UD2500 electric mulcher from Makita is not an exception. What you’ll get with this model is a smart combo of power, ergonomics, and safety.

To start with power, the unit hosts a mighty 2500-watt motor that generates enough punch for fast and smooth mulching. Bundled with a crush and cut system engineered to reduce the volume of the mulched waste, the motor allows chipping wood branches and twigs up to 45 mm in diameter as well as mulching leaves and soft green clippings. Notably, the Makita does an excellent job on dry and thick branches and easily deals with large volumes of material. Hence, it will be a real find for gardens with numerous trees that need regular trimming. Besides, it has a rather quiet shredding system so you won't hear the machine rattling or wobbling during operation. 

Despite its heavy-duty construction, the Makita garden shredder is a breeze to use and handle. Fitted with hefty wheels and side handles, transporting and moving the machine around will be easy and require no effort from your side. The oversized 67L collection box, in turn, will save you the need to empty it too often while cut-out holes on the box will make it easier to check the container fill level. 

A thought-out safety system is yet another strong selling point in favour of this Makita mulcher. Along with the common closed blade mechanism, the model features an automatic anti-block system and a large tool-free knob for smooth machine control, overload protection for prolonged motor service life, and IPX4 class protection against splashes.

At a glance, an electric mulcher from TACKLIFE looks pretty similar to other machines of this type. However, it is different and you’ll quickly notice it in the course of use.

Like many other silent models operating at 2500 watts of power, this machine is more than a mulcher predominantly meant for processing finer twigs and foliage. It’s yet another heavy-duty unit that will shred and cut woody branches and thicker twigs up to 40 mm like a charm. At 460Nm torque, the cutting blades ensure consistently high cutting efficiency and allow achieving 16:1 reduction ratio to make fine mulch out of coarse dry branches. Yet, what sets this machine apart from other similar models is adjustable cutting blades. Using a special switch on the side, you can change the blade distance setting to optimise the chipping and cutting performance to the size and type of debris you have at hand. This way, you’ll get the best results with minimal power consumption.

One more distinguishing feature of the TACKLIFE garden shredder is an advanced brushless induction motor. Not only does it deliver impressively high cutting speed for higher chipping capacity, faster material processing, and higher mulch output, but also it boasts a prolonged service life. Paired with a dependable metal planet gearbox, it will ensure reliable and failure-free machine operation for a much longer period of time even under regular full load.

To wrap it up, the TACKLIFE garden shredder is a powerful and long-lasting machine good for processing the heaviest wood types that will become your reliable garden helper for years to come.

The key advantage of this mulcher is a double-sided laser-cut steel blade which is extremely sharp. The blade rotates at 3 650 RPM and shreds leaves, twigs, shrubs, and even branches up to 40 mm thick. No matter whether you need to process wet or dry waste, the Bosch shredder will cope with it. And the best thing is that the cutting blade will remain sharp for a long time, so you will not need to sharpen it too often. while enjoying the consistently high mulching performance.

In general, this mulcher can process up to 90 kg of waste per hour. You will be able to easily push the waste into the feed with the help of a large plastic prodder. The hopper can be removed in case you need to clean the feed intake when it gets clogged.

To minimise the risk of user injuries, Bosch engineers made this shredder safe to use: the ON-OFF switch can be locked with a padlock, there is an overload cut-off function, and anti-start-up protection.
