Westinghouse Corded Electric Wood Chipper Shredder 1.7-Inch, 15 Amp, 12-Gallon Bag

Overview

The Westinghouse 1.7 inch mulcher chipper shredder is a thoughtful blend of power and practicality for homeowners with medium to larger yards. A 15A corded motor drives the unit up to 4000 RPM, enabling you to convert branches and twigs into compact material that’s easier to dispose of or reuse. The machine is designed to handle wood up to about 1.8 inches in diameter, helping you manage seasonal cleanup without excessive strain.

Thanks to a dual hole feed hopper that includes openings of 1.7 and 0.9 inches, you can feed larger limbs and finer debris with the same tool. Two rustproof SK5 steel blades ensure smooth, consistent cuts that produce uniform mulch or chips, depending on your needs. The design emphasizes reliability and ease of use, with a safety interlock for secure maintenance and overload protection to minimize unexpected downtime.
