Is a gas wood chipper worth it over an electric one?

Reviewers say it depends on volume and branch size. Gas drum chippers (5 to 6 inch capacity) self-feed larger, less-perfect limbs and run for hours, but specialist-community members repeatedly warn they're loud, heavy, vibrate hard, and that blades dull quickly. For occasional thin yard waste, the reviewers we read generally consider a corded electric the better value; for regular limb cleanup on larger property, gas earns its keep.
