Very durable!

Something was dropped on the top of this machine during shipping and the exhaust cover is bent! It does not effect the performance of the machine. We are amazed at how easy this machine grinds over trees and limbs....the mulch is great! Now we just need a little dye to color it. Thanks for a great machine!... read full review »

Very disappointed

Just had this delivered last week.  Noticed the cardboard looked like it had been wet at one time but was completely dry now.  When I rolled out the machine noticed one tire was completely flat.  Was able to get it inflated.  Just a few hours later tire was flat again.  When I opened noticed the...

DEK Chipper

Really great value for a chipper. Chipper bag could use some improvement, but overall an extremely high quality product.

Excellent Chipper!

Because of a knee replacement surgery we were unable to use the chipper until 11/13/10. We are extremely pleased with it's performance. The speed at which it chipped limbs was amazing!

DEK Wood chipper

I bought this wood chipper because of the reviews I have read. I have to say I'm impressed by the power of this machine. Five inch pieces of wood were no problem for this chipper. The other wood chipper sold by Sears is a toy compared to this one.

The only thing I didn't like was the bag that attaches to output side of the chipper, both of the grommet's on the bag broke the first time I used it. I guess the amount of wood I slammed in to it was too heavy.

Best value on the market

I purchased this unit based on the horse power and it exceeded all my expectations. Very quick delivery.  It is a good, solid chipper.

DEK CH1 Chipper Shredder

We love our chipper shredder but at first had a bit of a problem with it clogging.

The guard that protects the .blades was causing this clog, so after my husband removed it, it works great.

"This chipper is the best deal around.  I even called the manufacturer to understand the product before I purchased this unit and they were very helpful.  If you use it a lot, they recommend  you buy extra blades and belts.  It comes with an extra blade and belt but since I use this every weekend, I went ahead and purchased extras anyways.  If you use it according to the manufacturer's guidelines,  you should have no problems.  I have been using this for 2 months and it has been great."

Tough

Got this chipper and couldn't believe how tough it was. Didn't have any problem with 2x4s. Free trailer hitch was great for getting around the construction site.

Nice machine

Can't beat 14 horses in a chipper at this price. GREAT piece of equipment. I can roll it up in the back of my pickup easily. Chews through everything I throw at it.

I bought one of these units March of 2010, never got around using it until March of 2011. I couldn't even start it; the engine would not turn. So I took it to authorized repair center; they said that there was a cup and half of water in the cylinder just from sitting outside (I wonder where they expected it to be used). ANyhow they got it going for a few hours and then engine seized up. DEK did not cover it under warranty because it was outdoors. So the unit had to be scrapped without even a second of usage. and I am out 1200 dollars!

I just bought the Sears DEK 15 Shredder/Chipper and it has turned out to be better than I expected. The shipping was professional however when I initially rec'd the unit one tire seemed low. I did the basic assembly(with tools provided) and gased & oiled it and got it started right away. After I moved it to a location to begin work the tire went completly flat and I was unable to move it by hand as a result. I called the support number and they sent me a complete new tire under warrenty. These are the tubless type tires and I was unable to fill it with air using my compressor. Once I recieved the...
