The YARDMAX chipper was pretty east to assemble (with good instructions) and didn’t require many tools. Came with engine oil and started first pull after putting the fuel in and continues to be easy to start. It cuts good size branches I would say up to 3” across! Easy to operate and I love the bag it makes it possibly to chip and not get the wood chips all over the yard and carry the bag and empty where you want.
I think you could easily spend more and get less. I would not hesitate to buy again.
