Best Budget Wood Chipper [My Top 4 Picks]

Don’t have much money to spend but still want a chipper that’s good?

Well you’ve come to the right place because in this post, I’ll be revealing the best budget wood chipper?

Let’s get straight into it!

Sun Joe CJ602E

[Link to the product]

• Cuts branches up to 1.5-inches thick
• 15-amp electric motor
• Weighs 26.2 pounds

Power

This Sum Joe comes equipped with a 15-amp electric motor.  This will turn any branch as thick as 1.5 inches into a mulch that provides a great source of nutrients for the garden.

Portable

All wood chippers need to be portable. Who wants the struggle of trying to move this to a more convenient area closer to the wood that needs chipping?

After all, branches aren’t going to fall in the same place all the time.

The 6-inch wheels attached to the base of this chipper make it ready to move at any given moment. Simply tilt it backward then, using the perfectly located handle at the top, push or pull wherever you need to go.

This is an area where the lightweight is also a major factor. At only 26.2 pounds, you will have no issues in transporting this machine.

Safe

Safety should always be the number one priority. No tree limbs are worth losing any humans limbs for. As a result, Sun Joe has designed locking knobs. These prevent the motor from running while they are opened.

TackLife

• Cuts branches and limbs as thick as 1.77 inches
• 15-amp electric motor
• Weighs 36.5 pounds

Powerful

The TackLife utilizes a 15-amp copper motor combined with a metal planet gearbox to provide you with ample cutting power.

With the ability to chip through limbs as wide as 1.77 inches, this machine provides a reduction rate of 16:1. The cutting torque is as high as 460Nm which will ensure a sufficient job is done.

Anti Clogging

Anti-clogging technology is a must-have for a wood chipper. This one comes equipped with a high-quality blade complete with seven teeth to chew up that wood. On top of this, the blades can also be reversed.

This helps to spit out anything that may threaten to get stuck along the way.

Safe

This machine boasts an overload protection switch. What does this mean for you? No need to worry about your machine becoming blocked while running.

If it ever detects an overload, it will simply not continue until the problem is resolved. Not only does this help to protect you, but your machine will not take any damage either.

Quiet

Unlike any gas-powered wood chipper, the sound level of this is only 94dB. This makes the machine much more user friendly for any nearby neighbors. It is certainly much more friendly on your own ears as well.

Sun Joe CJ603E

• Shreds and mulches wood as thick as 1.73 inches thick
• 15-amp electric motor
• Weighs 38.6 pounds

Power

The Sun Joe CJ603E is run by a 15-amp motor. It is rated at 120-volts. This gives it the advantage of being a versatile device that can easily be used almost anywhere. 

Portable

The 7-inch wheels are designed with your convenience in mind. Not only does this make the machine easily portable, but it also allows it to roll more freely than a smaller size.

These wheels are attached to a frame which is mounted to the bottom of the chipper. There is also a handle located on top which makes for an easy area to grasp.

Reliability Guarantee

If there happen to be any problems, you can be assured of satisfactory support from their customer service.

This is good for as long as 2 years after the date of purchase of this machine. There is no risk nor any run around for you!

Safety

Similar to other models of Sun Joe, this one also comes with the safety hopper.

This contains knobs that will lock to prevent the motor from running when it’s opened. If in use when it opens, the chipper will automatically stop.

Max Shredding Volume

This features a unique feeding chute that is designed to capture larger loads than any other chipper I have looked at today.

This one is built for up to 3-inch thick trees and limbs making it ideal for a larger range of work. There is an adjustable guide to ensure your chips are piled where you want them.

Portable

This chipper has the largest wheels of all the machines I have looked at today. Although the machine is heavy, these 10-inch wheels help with transportation even on rough terrain.

All you have to do is tilt the machine on an angle and you’ll be able to move it wherever you desire.

Conclusion

So those were the best budget wood chippers.
