Sun Joe CJ603E – Small
- Cuts through branches as thick as 1.73 inches
- Electric powered
- Weighs 38.6 lbs
Power
At a size of only 8X15X31 inches, this is the smallest and most compact chipper that I’m looking at today. It uses a 15-amp motor that can be run by any 120-volt power supply.
Because this is run by a power cord, there’s no fuel supply that you need to worry about running out. You can be ensured that a consistent stream of power will flow through this machine when powered.
Portability
Portability is a priority with any wood chipping job. I personally need to be able to push my chipper close to an area where I’d like my mulch. This unit has 7-inch wheels to make transportation easier than a smaller size.
These are located on the bottom of the chipper and are attached to the frame. The convenient top handle gives you a safe place to hold onto.
Since this device does need to be plugged in to run, the only thing you will need to worry about is checking for a nearby outlet to use.
If you don’t have one, an extension cord works just as well. If you have one long enough, the sky is the limit to where you can park your wood chipper.
Safety
Sun Joe is well known for its safety hopper. In short, this is a knob that will lock the machine to ensure the motor won’t run when opened. The chipper will stop all on its own if this opens while in use
SuperHandy – Big Branches
- Shreds branches as thick as 3 inches

Power
The SuperHandy is gas-powered. This means no annoying cords to drag around and no need to ensure you are working near an outlet or power source.
Simply fill this up with fuel and you can cart it wherever needed. Since this is a four-stroke, you don’t need to worry about mixing any fuel. All the engine needs is straight gasoline.
This chipper uses a 7HP 212CC engine to provide you with a maximum rpm of 3600. In other words, the teeth of the chipper will rotate 3600 times per minute.
Portability
With the weight of this machine, it can still be transported by hand thanks to its wheels, Also, using a tow bar kit, you can hook up an ATV, ride on a lawnmower, or even a smaller tractor to drag it around for you.
Versatile
There are a lot of different ways this machine can be utilized. It contains a 3 in 1 set up that allows for chipping, mulching, and shredding.

Tacklife
