• For home use, you can choose almost all models of the Bosch brand, since they are semi-professional, everything here will depend on what technical characteristics you are interested in.
• Before purchasing a shredder, it is best to think over the scope of future work in advance. If the garden or area is small, then it is best to choose a model with a medium capacity, for example, the AXT Rapid 2000.
