Powerhouse XM-380 7-Ton Horizontal Electric Log Splitter

I was skeptical about an electric splitter since I only used a gas powered one before. I tried it because I didn't like the noise, heat and fumes of a gas engine. I was pleasantly surprised at the ease of use and the low noise level of the electric one. There is a size range for the splitter which was a problem for my large pieces but that is common for all splitters.

The work went extremely fast. I made a connector for the dual control handles so I could easily press the lever with one hand. I also was able to place the splitter on top of a standard Costco table to save my back.

I split the wood seen in the shed in about three hours. The shed space is 8ft wide x 7ft high and the wood is piled 3 tiers deep.

After I was done I used my compressor to blow of all dust and debris before storing it for another day. I have enough wood split for the entire winter from three hours of splitting. I have a fire at least 4-5 nights a week in my fireplace insert. I never have to heat the house at night when I have a wood fire.

I am 100% satisfied with my purchase. Log Splitters Direct had the best price, free shipping and it was delivered quickly. No complaints.

I absolutely love my wood splitter. I have a camp and have had many trees taken down and hate to see them sit and rot. There is no way I could split them by hand.

First of all, the shipping was free and delivery was right to my door (in the woods). Setup was very easy and the wheels make it so easy to move to the work site.

I love this because it seems so safe compared to chainsaws and hatchets. Being electric is certainly easy.
You load the log, pull the handle and SLOWLY the plate pushes the log into the wedge.... it splits the logs like magic.
My daughter and I make quick work of all the logs that were stacked up, it was a lot of fun.

Thanks for a great product, we are contemplating buying one for my brother who just bought a camp.
In the meantime, I'm looking for more trees to cut down :)

I had a very large dead tree in the back yard that I had professionals take down. They left me the usable pieces in 14 to 20 inch lengths. My back yard has limited access so driving a truck and towing a rented splitter was out of the question. The Powerhouse XM 380 was perfect for my needs. I can pull it around the house and set it up in 10 minutes. I split about a 1 &1/2 cords yesterday. The large diameter pieces need to dry a bit more and need to be split in half so I can split off wedge size pieces. All in all, I love it.

Well built, quiet, powerful, and very portable. Split everything I put in it, including an 18 inch diameter log that I could barely lift. Well worth the $400 I paid.

My husband is so pleased with this splitter. It is easy and powerful. Great value. Makes our life easier. Thank you!

After using my neighbors, I decided I needed one. After checking others out, the price and quality, this is the way to go. My experienced neighbor said, don't go less than 7 tons. I love how easily I can make my kindling, plus....

For the price of this log splitter it does all that can be expected. I use it to split wood for bonfires and it has plenty of power for my needs.

I have been pleased with my splitter, I have lots of oak which is hard and it reacts very well.

My girls can use it just as well as I can.

After having this unit for 2 years in need of repair. Unable to get it serviced in my area. Call customer service, they sent me picture of what they think is the problem--their tech is in China- told parts center will contact me after 2 weeks no contact -keep e-mail them no answer.

Splitter arrived, instructions useless, came with extra "O" rings and a bolt loose in the box with NO mention anywhere as to what the parts were for. Split less than a cord when Hydro oil started to spray out. Called phone number on instruction sheet. Person said I would get response by email. NO response, now calling the given phone number, message says "Number not is service". Am filing dispute with credit card co. I used. This splitter is a foreign made piece of JUNK!!!!!!
