Bob, there are a number of chippers on the market. Mantis sells a pretty good one (800-342-0052) also Kinsman (800-733-5613). The chippers are no good for leaves and wet compost materials — to do both limbs and leafs you need a general purpose shredder/grinder and it will have a gasoline engine. All the chipper/grinders are compact but some are more stable than others. You want a machine that allows you easy access to the knives because you must sharpen them frequently for the machine to work well. Don't forget to were ear protection as well as eye protection when running any power machine, including the lawn mower by the way.
