My questions to anyone that's owned or used one - are they up to it, and is it worth it!
Not sure a dedicated woodchipper might be cheaper & more efficient etc overall, any ideas!
appreciate any advice, thanks

I have one. Brilliant!Of course it depends whether you are likely to need it.

Thanks guys,
I guess it's one of those things that even if you don't use it lots, at least it's there when you do need it once you do own one.

I bought a Masport with a chippershute 8 years ago and have never used the shute.

tried to use it and the chips just flew around the garden. no way to collect them. got told by the mower fixeruppers never get anything with a double action. waste of time and only brings problems. so really a fairly neutral report.but good for a few sticks.!.then since I have rabbits and goats, they eat them anyway.

if it is anything like those electric garden shredders where you can only feed in one twig at a time, end on, then forget it, you will give up in utter frustration well before the pile of branches is gone. Quicker way- spread all the twigs out over the lawn(nothing too thick mind you), then simply run the mower across them as if they were grass. For bigger volumes hire a larger shredder that will take armfuls at once.

if its a masport it should be very good as they austemper there blades to make them very hard and strong.
