Stihl GHE 250
Product details
The STIHL electric shredder GHE 250 is a versatile machine ideal for anyone looking to keep all corners of their garden tidy. Whether plant trimmings or woody garden material – the blade shredder can shred hard, soft, long and wide clippings quickly, reliably and efficiently. The sandwich-type blade unit with Multi Cut disc can also effortlessly shred medium-sized branches up to 30 mm thick. The powerful motor ensures smooth, efficient operation. The housing and feed chute provide a high degree of comfort and safety during operation. The large inclined feed chute makes it easy to feed foliage, branches and plant trimmings into the shredder. The STIHL GHE 250 electric garden shredder can be tipped onto its wheels and moved easily between its place of use and storage location.
Soundproofed feed chute
The large feed chute facilitates feeding of the STIHL shredder. The soundproofed feed chute reduces working noise when shredding in the garden. The integrated spray protection provides a shield against swirling dirt.
Safety lock
The electromagnetic safety lock prevents the garden shredder from starting automatically during maintenance operations or when the blade is being changed, for example. The safety switch is integrated in the opening mechanism on the STIHL shredder. As soon as the closure screws on the machine are unscrewed, the safety switch is tripped and the current flow is interrupted.
Touch pad switch
The housing of the STIHL shredder is fitted with a touch pad switch and an operating indicator to allow simple and intuitive operation of the garden shredder.

Easy to fill, but draws in strongly, thicker branches block quickly.
The Stihl is a "shredder with style" and a real eye-catcher. In practice, it is the quickest to fill up with small branches and leafy clippings. Unfortunately, it clogged up more often than its competitors when tested.
Good garden shredders from 160 euros The price differences for shredders are enormous. Cheap models are available from as little as 99 euros. The most expensive garden shredder tested, at 600 euros, was disappointing: its shredding performance proved to be weak; the testers repeatedly had to spend a lot of time clearing frequent blockages...
