Hyundai 3000W Garden Shredder review: Garden waste needs to watch out with this powerful mulcher
The products or services listed have been independently tested by our journalists. We earn a commission from the affiliate links in this article. Read more > What is the Hyundai 3000W Garden Shredder? The Hyundai 3000W Garden Shredder (HYSH3000E) is a mains-powered general purpose impact garden shredder and chipper. Its 3,000W motor drives a disc blade rotating at 4,500 rpm to process small branches, fibrous stems, bark and fir cones. At £139.99 it is not the cheapest shredder on the market but its design and build give it strong value. All nine shredders I tested aim to turn waste into mulch, so the main points of comparison between this one and brands including Bosch, Stihl and Einhell, are whether they do their job safely and efficiently and if it's easy for the operator, too. Practical features helped the Hyundai stand out, including multiple stowage brackets for the paddle used to push down waste, a large detachable hopper and a 10 metre lead. Combined with solid performance, these earned it the title of Best Buy. JUMP TO: How we test garden shredders I run a flower farm, a prime location for testing garden shredders, as we prune and tend to the plants often. We score each machine on set-up, performance, design, ease of use and maintenance and quality. All models tested were cutting or impact shredders, not crushing types, and were trialled on the same mix of stems from our workshop. Set-up was generally straightforward across all the shredders. The challenges came during operation: could it pull stems in smoothly without kick-back or splinters escaping from the feed chute? Safety features prevent operation when the casing is open. I gave higher scores to machines with a removable upper casing for easier cleaning or blade changes. Power lead length was also noted. To assess running noise, I used a decibel app, standing a hoe's length away from each shredder for consistency. I measured only the motor noise, as cutting sounds vary with the material. I deducted marks for limited stem capacity, unpleasant kick-back and exaggerated claims. I also considered the ease of blade-changing, replacements costs, any warranties and customer support provision.

All opinions are based on independent expert opinion and our hands-on testing. Visit our Who We Are page to learn more. Set-up Score: 10/10 Putting the Hyundai shredder together took about 10 to 15 minutes, including the time spent unboxing and reading the manual. The instructions were simple to follow with diagrams and written guidance, making the process straightforward. All that was needed for assembly was a Phillips screwdriver and a hex key, which were both provided. Once the chassis and wheels are attached, the 50-litre collection box slides in smoothly and is held in place by a thumb-operated latch which requires little pressure to release. You can use the Hyundai with or without the hopper, held by chunky clips on each side. These made it easy to attach, unlike some other models. It is more versatile than many shredders on test. Performance Score: 9/10 All the shredders I tested performed well. The Hyundai stood out for how easily it cut and chopped garden waste. Woody stems were reduced to small pieces, and only a few long fibrous stems passed through uncut, which is fine when making rough mulch for compost. During testing, the motor showed no strain, and there was no troubling noise or vibration. The overload protection never activated, but it was reassuring to know it was in place. Design Score: 9/10 The Hyundai shredder is solid and robust, which is reflected by its nearly 15kg weight. All its catches and switches are chunky and accessible, from the push-button ignition, housing-lock and hopper clips to the thumb-operated latch on the collection box. It has one of the largest hoppers I've tried, and a 50-litre rigid collection box for the chopped up waste. There are even brackets on board so you can store the paddle and coiled up 10-metre lead neatly. Only one other shredder – the Stihl GHE 105 Electric Chipper / Shredder – had a lead of comparable length. Of course, as it is not battery operated, it may not suit particularly large gardens. Should you need more capacity, Hyundai also sells a 2800W Quiet Garden Shredder, which comes with a 60-litre collection box and costs £179.99. Score: 9/10 The Hyundai shredder is stable and easy to move around the garden, with chunky 180mm diameter wheels and rubber stoppers on its legs. My only criticism is that when you tip the shredder while holding the main handle, the hopper butts up uncomfortably against your forearm. Once in position and ready to use, there is a red button to start and stop the motor. Its other control is the dial to open the upper casing – marked with open and closed padlock symbols – to access the blades. Having a 10-litre hopper is useful if you want to load it with smaller cuttings and let them work their way down. Or use the plastic paddle to push items through the shredder's rubbery teeth and on to the blade. I particularly liked the teeth, as they are flexible enough to allow easy access while simultaneously preventing splinters flying back out. Maintenance and quality The Hyundai comes with its own tools, two replacement blades and a manual with troubleshooting tips. If that is not enough, Hyundai provides aftersales support through a UK phone line, email and live chat. A three-year warranty is included. The build quality and durability of the Hyundai garden shredder inspire confidence. During testing, there were no interruptions or blockages. If the shredder doesn't start, the likely cause is an open casing or a collection box not clicked into place. Both are reassuring safety features. In all, it is a well-made shredder that should last you a long time. Maintenance guidance is clear. The manual advises using a clean cloth to remove debris after each use. I also used a brush, which did the job just as well. Technical specifications I compared the Hyundai 3000W with its closest competitor – the Draper 230V Rapid. The Hyundai comes out on top for price, stem-cutting size as well as lead length but there's little which separates them when it comes to noise levels and weight. Should you buy the Hyundai 3000W Garden Shredder? I found the Hyundai 3000W Garden Shredder a welcome addition to our tool shed and I am looking forward to using it in the coming months. If you want to transform your clippings and garden waste into mulch, or speed up the time it takes to compost, it's a reliable all-rounder. Yes, if: You want value for money and a general purpose garden shredder You don't want to use an extension lead No, if: What type of garden waste is the Hyundai 3000W Garden Shredder best for? Fibrous or woody waste with stems up to 45mm diameter. How noisy is the Hyundai 3000W shredder to operate? It is 95dB loud when running but not processing waste. I didn't notice a great increase in noise when cutting, though. What are the safety features? There's a built-in safety switch. If the main unit's cover isn't fully closed, the shredder will not start. It also features overload protection, cable strain relief and a little clip to keep the cable tidy. What is the shredded material like? It produces an even, thoroughly chopped mulch that's helpful for composting.

'Little beast' lawnmower cuts grass 'like a hot knife in butter'
Amazon has reduced the price of a best-selling Einell ahead of Amazon Prime Day Summer is here, which means it is time for gardeners to tend to their outdoor spaces, with lawn maintenance being a main priority. Lawnmowers are an expensive purchase, with some costing upwards of £200, however, Amazon has reduced the price of one of its best-selling Einhell models. The Einhell Power X-Change is normally £199.95, but the marketplace has reduced it to £150 ahead of Amazon Prime Day, a weeklong event running from July 8-11. The Einhell lawnmower comes with a 4.0Ah lithium-ion battery, a charger, and is powered by a brushless electric motor for longer operating times. It has a cutting width of 33cm, designed for small to medium lawns up to 200 square meters in size. It also has a height-adjustable long handle with three settings and a 30-litre grass box. An Amazon reviewer rated it five stars, commenting: "Arrived earlier than expected, always a bonus. Needed it for the communal paths at my allotment. They were VERY overgrown. "The little beast went through them like a hot knife in butter. Very impressed! Battery life about 30 minutes, so going to order a spare." Some users reported that the battery life is short, with one consumer saying: "It's a good lightweight mower but I'm fighting with the battery." Alternatively, Yimbly has an offer on Thompson & Morgan's Aerotek Lawnmower. Usually £159.99, it's on sale for £117. Yimbly is an online marketplace owned by the Mirror's parent company, Reach Plc. Elsewhere, Argos has a McGregor 34cm Rotary Lawnmower on sale for £67, down from £90. It's meant for use on small to medium-sized lawns. Returning to Einhell's Power X-Change lawnmower, a third Amazon consumer wrote: "Got this on recommendation from a friend. Now bought the grass strimmer, nail gun, and chainsaw from Einhell. Battery is quick to charge and lasts for a long time. "Easy and lightweight lawn mower that cuts as low as you need and has a large storage box. Really satisfied with build quality and performance."

The best lawnmowers: five favourites to keep your grass in check, tested
Leaving your lawn to develop naturally into a meadow of pollinator-friendly wild flowers is the best option from an ecological perspective, but many of us still like to have at least a small area of grass, whether it's to break up your flower beds or provide a space for the kids to play. And every lawn needs a mower. The Guardian's journalism is independent. We will earn a commission if you buy something through an affiliate link. Learn more. Your family's lawnmower might have been a fossil fuel-guzzling petrol beast, but today, an electric model is far more energy-efficient and kinder to the planet. I've tested electric mowers from five manufacturers to find out which are the best. Best overall and best cordless lawnmower:Makita DLM432PT2£415 at Alan Wadkins ToolStore Best budget lawnmower:Einhell GC-EM 1600/37£130 at Argos Best value cordless lawnmower and best for small gardens:Worx WG737E£259.99 at Amazon I've been mowing lawns since I was tall enough to be dragged around the garden by my father's noisy and smelly petrol mower in the 1980s. Apart from a short period in early adulthood when accommodation didn't really come with gardening responsibilities, I've been mowing my own lawn through the summer months for decades. I've managed to sometimes wrap that into my professional work, not as a gardener but as a product reviewer. I've tested and written about plenty of lawnmowers in recent years, and have picked up a thing or two about what makes a good one. Few things are quite as satisfying as being paid to test a mower on your own lawn on a sunny Friday afternoon, knowing that you're simultaneously ticking off one of your weekend chores. A new patio was being laid in my back garden, so when the lawnmowers arrived at the front door, I gazed in despair at the builders' yard of cement mixers, sand piles and pallets of slabs that were occupying my intended testing zone. Fortunately, the builders moved out as the last mower arrived, leaving a patchy and challenging space on which to test the mowers, with plenty of longer grass in places and bare earth in others. I assigned each mower a zone and tested them first with a relatively high setting to deal with longer grass, then took them down to 40mm or so. I find this is about right for mowing my slightly lumpy lawn without grounding the blade on its undulations. I also tested how long the mowers could run by mounting them on a makeshift rig, bypassing their safety features with a bootlace (don't try this at home), and timing how long it took for the batteries to expire. I performed a similar test on the chargers to see how long the batteries took to charge. The mower with a cable was plugged into a power meter so I could see how much power it drew from the mains. I also measured how noisy they were with the free Decibel X app on my smartphone, and noted any special mower features, such as the size of the grass box and how well they cut to the edges. All of the five mowers tested were loaned by the manufacturers, and we expect them to be returned after testing. Any that aren't collected will be donated to the British Heart Foundation. £415 at Alan Wadkins ToolStore£461.70 at Amazon You're more likely to know Makita for its power tools than its garden equipment, but this cordless lawnmower slots into the range well, coming with two 18V 5Ah batteries that work in parallel, and a large charging unit that can refill them both at the same time. Why we love itThe best thing about it is the large cutting blade of 43cm. In practical terms, that means you can spend less time mowing, as each time you traverse your lawn, it cuts a wider strip than the other mowers we've tested. The downside is that it's a bit heavier – there's simply more steel involved. When it came to cutting, the mower powered through the jobs I set it, whether it was the longer grass of an initial first cut, or simply strimming a week's growth off the top of the lawn. I found it easy to move around, and selecting the cutting height (from 20 to 75mm) was easily done with the clearly labelled lever. The two batteries lasted for more than 57 minutes during my test, which was the longest lasting of all the battery-powered mowers in this group. It only took 51 minutes for the large, fan-cooled charger to take them back to full power. It's a shame that … the join between the grass box and the rear of the mower is a bit finicky, the manufacturer's warranty is only a year, and the fan-cooled charger makes a bit of a racket. Cutting width: 43cmCutting height: 20-75mmWeight: 15.6kgGrass capacity: 40lCorded/cordless: cordlessBattery life/charge time: 57mins 25secs/51mins 44secsSpare batteries available: yesWarranty: one year £130 at Argos£136.95 at B&Q If the other lawnmowers in this group look a bit pricey, it's worth considering a corded model. Without the added cost of batteries and chargers, corded mowers such as the Einhell GC-EM 1600/37 are much more affordable. Why we love itThe main thing to love about the Einhell GC-EM 1600/37 is its price. It's half the price of the most affordable battery mower tested here. It doesn't have the same build quality that you might expect from a more expensive unit, but we can live with that considering the low price. Without batteries to faff about with, the mower is really easy to use. Once you've plugged it into an extension lead (which you'll almost certainly need in any size of garden, despite the included 10m lead), you just press the start button and hold down the cutoff lever. The height of the cut can be adjusted between 20 and 60mm using a sturdy gear-stick-like notched lever, and its large rear wheels make it easy to manoeuvre. I found the quality of the cutting to be absolutely fine, and easily on a par with the cuts I saw from more expensive mowers. It also doesn't suffer from a drop in power after being used for a time. Battery mowers tend to experience a steady drop in power as their batteries are drained. It's a shame that … mowing with a trailing cable is trickier than using a cordless model because you have to keep moving the cable around to ensure you don't mow over it. Cutting width: 37cmCutting height: 20-60mmWeight: 11.8kgGrass capacity: 38lCorded/cordless: cordedCable length: 10mWarranty: 3 years £259.99 at B&Q£259.99 at Amazon The Worx WG737E is phenomenal value for money. Despite being the most affordable of the battery mowers, there's little to distinguish the quality of its cutting from its more expensive rivals. Why we love itI was impressed with the Worx WG737E. Although it won't win any design awards, plenty of thought has gone into its core functionality, including an easy-to-see charge indicator that most rivals haven't bothered with. Its 37cm cutting blade is smaller than the Makita's, which makes this more suitable for smaller gardens, though its 40-litre grass box is the same size, so you won't have to empty it more often. The blade extends out as far as the outer edges of the wheels, so it's good for cutting right up to the edges of your lawn, and it did a great job at slicing through the grass in my garden. It's also the only mower in this group that comes with a mulching accessory – a plastic insert that slots into the back of the mower and stops the cut grass from escaping the cutting area. The trimmings are left on the ground and can help feed and nourish the lawn, though you will end up with grass clippings on your shoes if you cross the lawn soon after mowing. Other mowers offer this as an accessory, but this is the only model we tested to come with one in the box. It's a shame that … batteries took more than four hours to recharge.

It has a single arm, hinged from a sturdy metal clip, so getting it from stowed to ready for action can be done in a matter of seconds. Unscrewing the handle bolts on all the others isn't an enormous chore, but this is markedly better. I also liked the grass collection box because it has a chute that extends out of the box and down into the mower's internals. When you remove the box, this is already holding all the grass that usually spills out, which normally you'd have to pick up and chuck into the box yourself before carrying it over to the compost. It didn't make the final cut because … I found the starting process more awkward than on the other mowers, and it didn't wheel around as smoothly, particularly at the end of a line. Cutting width: 37cm; cutting height: 20-70mm; weight: 16.3kg; grass capacity: 40l; corded/cordless: cordless; battery life/charge time: 43mins 3secs/2hrs 35mins 26secs; spare batteries available: yes; warranty: 5 years £510 at Argos£439.99 at Amazon Best for: infrequent emptying and a quieter mow With a 50-litre grass box, the Bosch AdvancedRotak 36V-40-650 offers you the fewest trips to the compost bin, with 25% more grass clipping space than its rivals. It can also leave your grass longer than the others, with an option to leave it at 80mm, though I suspect most people will prefer a shorter cut. When testing the noise levels of the mowers, this was the quietest, only showing 70dB of sound pressure on the Decibel X app, while the noisiest in the group (the Einhell GC-EM 1600/37) measured 78dB. On the downside, it's also the most expensive of the mowers here. I didn't get on well with the safety cutoff feature, which uses buttons instead of a bar. There are four of these to choose from, distributed across the handlebar in different locations and at different angles, but they aren't as easy to keep hold of as the handlebar levers on the other mowers. It didn't make the final cut because … it's expensive, and I wasn't fond of the way the handle extends or the cutoff buttons on the handlebar. Cutting width: 40cm; cutting height: 25-80mm; weight: 16.7kg; grass capacity: 50l; corded/cordless: cordless; battery life/charge time: 55mins 11secs/2hrs 4mins 2secs; spare batteries available: yes; warranty: 2 years Broadly speaking, there are two types of lawnmower: cylinder and rotary. Cylinder mowers use a set of long blades attached to a cylindrical frame, which is rolled over the lawn to slice the top off the grass as it goes. Rotary mowers are now more common and use a rotating blade that spins around underneath the mower, like an upside down helicopter blade, slicing the grass as it goes. Rotary mowers may have wheels to keep them above the grass, or may create a cushion of air underneath them, like a hovercraft. The latter type is known as a hover mower, and is particularly useful if you need to manoeuvre around a lot of tricky areas, such as around trees. Mowers tend to be powered by either petrol or electricity, with the latter using either batteries (cordless) or plugged in to a domestic power supply (corded). The engines on petrol mowers tend to be quite heavy and will often drive the mower forwards as well as spinning the blades. Electric mowers are more likely to save their power for spinning the blades and require the user to push the mower around manually. Petrol lawnmowers benefit from annual servicing, just like your car. If you're mechanically minded, you can do this yourself; otherwise, there are plenty of mechanics and mower servicing companies around that will do it for you. All types of mower can benefit from being wiped down with a damp cloth after they've mown the lawn to take off any loose clippings, which helps keep the blades rust-free and keeps them from clogging up with dried grass. Take care around the blades, particularly the sharp edges. During the winter, it's worth having your mower blades sharpened, ready for spring. Check your mower's manual to see if it can be removed and taken to a high-street sharpener, or get it included in an annual service. Yes. Not everyone needs to own a lawnmower, particularly if you don't intend to mow that often. Leaving the grass to grow longer and cutting less frequently provides a better environment for wildlife, including pollinating insects. Those with smaller gardens and little space to store bulky machinery can also benefit from renting a mower every now and then. There are plenty of tool hire services, such as HSS and Speedy Hire, that operate across the country. Most of these nationwide services tend to rent out heavier-duty petrol mowers, best suited to larger gardens and bigger jobs. Prices start at about £35 a day. If you live in the Greater London area, you can rent the Stihl RMA 339 lawnmower from Library of Things for £15 a day and pick it up from a central storage area. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a similar service that operates elsewhere (please let us know if you know of one). If you think you'll mow the lawn once a week from mid-March to mid-October, which is at least 30 weeks, then it'll cost £450 for the year. If you haven't got anywhere to store a mower or are thinking of cutting less frequently, then using a rental service could work to your advantage. For even better value, you could also hire a mower from an owner who lends their equipment out. Fat Llama facilitates this, taking a cut of the fee for bringing people together. Mowers typically cost about £10/day or £40/week. It operates across the country, though there tends to be more choice and availability in higher-populated areas.

A three-star reviewer shared a mixed experience: "We love this item, it was charged when it arrived and worked perfectly BUT when the charge ran out, my husband plugged the charger in and it immediately went bang, it tripped the main switch in our home and now the charger is dead. This means we have never charged it and now I have to try and find out what to do to have it replaced." But on the flip side, another customer couldn't hide their enthusiasm for the strimmer, adding: "Amazing technology. I bought this to replace my corded strimmer, which had the cord which kept snapping the second it touched anything other than grass. This one uses the blade thing, which makes very light work of even big thick nettle stems, small branches etc." They continued: "It is staggeringly light, the battery lasts at least twenty minutes of continuous use, and is very quick to recharge. Honestly, I'm quite amazed how useful it is! My only criticism would be that there is no safety switch. It is so light, it is very easy to switch it on by accident when moving it around. Other than that, I can't recommend this enough." For those interested in owning the Einhell Power X-Change Cordless Strimmer, click HERE to purchase.
