Assembled and running in less than 30 minutes,very easy.Can be done with one person but two would be recommended. Product is excellent,went through a 12x 8x 6 foot high stack of branches in 1 hour 20 minutes.Goes through 25mm branches like nothing.Didn’t stall or block once. Motor pretty quiet,shouldn’t upset close neighbours when running. A big investment but after owning a cheaper electric one there is no comparison. Highly recommend. Review: Don't use desertcart for support with this, go straight to Forest Master - It's really great with straight branches, even leafy stuff that some chippers baulk at. Quiet, and fairly powerful. It's very low though —perhaps understandable given its weight— but that makes it very uncomfortable to move around for a tall person. The guard is insanely unhelpful with anything that isn't perfectly straight. Getting blackthorn through this was perhaps the least fun I've ever had in a garden. I doubt that changes until you get up to a very large, commercial feeder-driven unit. Either way, the safety feature makes this painful to use in a normal garden. But the worst thing was desertcart's support. One of the blade bolts sheared off. They're not *that* big for such a powerful motor in such a high-impact role. They could be bigger. It happens, I'm not angry about that. But I contacted desertcart as I'm within warranty and their answer was: ~"We'll collect it, refund you and you can buy another". Aside from being incredibly wasteful, the price is +£90 now. So I talked to Forest Master directly by email who replied within an hour or two and sent out a special tool to extract the central drum next-day. They're going to arrange its repair. That's top service. It's just a shame I wasted my time with desertcart first. So yeah, all in all, it's a good tool. Once I've got the drum back and have bolted a handle onto the side of it to help moving it around without turning into an old crone, it'll be a winner. ## Features - Compact & Efficient: The FM4DDE is a compact wood chipper that efficiently chips wood up to 50mm in diameter. - 4HP Electric Motor: Powered by a 4HP 2800 watt electric motor running on domestic mains supply, ensuring powerful performance. - Direct Drive System: The chipper operates on a direct drive system, eliminating the need for belt adjustments, ensuring better performance. - Twin Reversible Blades: The FM4DDE comes with twin reversible blades, effectively doubling their life span and reducing the need for resharpening. - Easy Maintenance & Storage: The hinged hopper and chute design facilitate easy maintenance and storage, providing quick access to the drum. - Lightweight & Maneuverable: Weighing only 38kg, this chipper is lightweight and highly maneuverable, making it easy to transport. - Self-Feeding Capability: The FM4DDE features a self-feeding capability, efficiently chipping wood up to 50mm in diameter. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B085PNPHQB | | Best Sellers Rank | 39,902 in Garden ( See Top 100 in Garden ) 25 in Chippers, Shredders & Mulchers | | Brand Name | Forest Master | | Colour | Orange | | Country Of Origin | United Kingdom | | Customer Reviews | 3.8 3.8 out of 5 stars (384) | | Included Components | Chipper, User Manual | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 91D x 78W x 39H centimetres | | Item Type Name | FM4DDE - Compact Electric Wood Chipper 4hp Direct Drive | | Item Weight | 36 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | FOREST MASTER | | Manufacturer Part Number | FM4DDE | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 2-Year warranty covers parts with the exception of consumable parts.

Not suitable for outdoor use *by M***B on 30 July 2025* This shredder worked perfectly from purchase until winter time when there was no more shredding to do. I moved it into my heated greenhouse. In the spring I tried to use it again and it kept tripping. I returned it to the manufacturer and they said that it was unusable due to having been stored incorrectly and my warranty was invalid. I am a member of a garden club. Three members have purchased this product and have had the same experience. We are all experienced gardeners who open our gardens under the National garden scheme and who own a variety of garden machinery. This is the only machine we have had problems with. Of course the manual has a get out clause - it states that the machine has to be stored in a room! For goodness sake. A heated greenhouse should be a suitable place to store a piece of garden equipment. My Bosch chipper has been stored in a car port where I use it for more than 15 years and works perfectly well. I only purchased the shredder to be able to shred the soft stuff which a chipper can’t handle. My Forest Master hydraulic log splitter is stored in the same place and also works perfectly. There is clearly a design fault with the shredder. ## Frequently Bought Together - Forest Master FM4DDE Compact Self-Feeding Wood Chipper - 4HP Direct Drive, 2800W Electric Motor - Chips Branches Up to 50mm (2 inches) in Diameter - OREGON Yukon Chainsaw Safety Helmet with Protective Ear Muff and Mesh Visor (562412) , Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/190701987-forest-master-fm4dde-compact-self-feeding-wood-chipper-4hp-direct](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/190701987-forest-master-fm4dde-compact-self-feeding-wood-chipper-4hp-direct) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
