Product details
The compact electric shredder Stihl GHE 140 L processes medium amounts of hard cuttings thoroughly and quietly, making it ideal for private garden maintenance in noise-sensitive areas. Robustness and smooth operation characterize this powerful Stihl electric shredder GHE 140 L, which is specialized for hard cuttings. The roller shredder operates with a quiet and slowly rotating cutting roller that processes branches up to 40 mm thick into compostable wood chips. The funnel-shaped opening aids in safely filling the quiet shredder Stihl GHE 140 L for shredding. The shredded material is collected in an integrated, transparent 60-liter collection container. After use, the electric shredder can be easily folded for transport and especially for storage, allowing it to be compactly stored in the collection container. The garden waste, with its valuable nutrients, can later serve as fertilizer for new growth in the garden.

Good garden shredders from 160 euros The price differences for shredders are enormous. Cheap models are available from as little as 99 euros.
