We bought a DR Trimmer Mower about 4 years ago from them.  Just about 
everything on it has broken at least once, some things multiple times 
(luckily we have somebody here who is good at fixing such things, 
otherwise the repairs would have been costly), about the only good 
thing I can say about it is that it has a briggs & stratton engine 
which is still going fine.  I know several other people who bought 
similar range of equipment from them and they were having the same sort 
of problems.   I think their stuff would be fine for lite-duty work.  I 
don't have experience with the shredders tho.
