Does it vacuum and chip at the same time?

No. You switch between the vacuum snout and the chipper chute; the same engine and impeller do both jobs.

What size branches can it chip?

Branches up to 2 inches in diameter. Anything thicker should go to a larger chipper or be cut down first.

Do I need the vacuum hose?

It is optional and sold separately. It helps reach under shrubs and along walls where the wide snout cannot go.

How much does the bag hold?

About 6 bushels of mulched debris. Side zipper openings let you empty it without removing the whole bag.

Is it good for wet leaves?

Dry leaves mulch best. Wet or matted leaves tend to clog the impeller and chute, so rake or dry them first when you can.

What maintenance does the gas engine need?

Routine oil changes, spark plug checks and fresh fuel. Stale gas is a common cause of hard starting, so drain it for long storage.

Owners like the wide vacuum path and the large bag, and the chipper handles small branches. Many complain about hard starting, clogging with damp leaves and a plasticky feel for a gas machine.
