Webb WEESS 2800W Electric Silent Shredder
The key difference between the WEESS and the impact shredder WEISWB is the cutting mechanism — where the impact shredder uses high-speed rotating blades, the silent shredder uses eight slower-moving crusher blades rotating at just 47 RPM. That low speed is what produces the quieter operation, and it also means the machine handles material more consistently without jamming on tougher or wetter material that can overwhelm faster impact designs.
The 2800W motor and 45mm maximum branch diameter match the WEISWB, but the 55-litre collection box is significantly larger — nearly 40% more capacity before needing to empty, which reduces interruptions during longer shredding sessions. The 10:1 reduction ratio turns a substantial pile of prunings and garden waste into a compact quantity of fine chippings suitable for composting or direct use as mulch on beds and borders.
Two safety features work together — the shredder only operates when the collection box is properly attached, and a safety switch prevents accidental starting when unattended. Large transport wheels make pulling it out of storage and positioning it in the garden straightforward at 27kg, and the 10-metre cable provides good working reach without extension leads for most garden layouts.
