Mulching, chipping, and shredding garden waste can be a hassle, especially if you don’t really have any good quality tools for the job. If you want an electric garden mulcher to quickly and easily make confetti of your yard waste, then the Patriot CSV-2515 is the best choice for you. This beastly electric shredder will cut up to 2.5″ limbs and can eat leaves for breakfast. The dryer the leaves, the better, of course, but if your compost bin is getting low, the Patriot will fill it back up in a snap. There’s no question that this is the best garden mulcher available.

Unfortunately, it is, well, very expensive! The Patriot really is in another league compared to the competition and is covered under a 2-year warranty (3 years if you buy the power cord as well). If you will be using the mulcher frequently, this is the one for you.

Yeah, this set is definitely old-world in style, but it is quite appealing. It has cleverly-integrated ice bucket in the table, and the frame is made out of high quality cast aluminum, painted with a copper finish. It has won our hearts!
You may want to pick up a cushion for the chair, though, if you plan on sitting on it for long periods of time.
