The Hyundai is the most powerful electric splitter in this ranking: a 2,300W motor driving seven tonnes of hydraulic force through a ram, with a steel safety cage and a 250mm log diameter capacity. It costs £299.99, weighs 60kg and carries 4.6 stars from 50 ratings with no two-star reviews.

It tops the list because the motor is the specification the tonnage hides. Two machines here claim seven tonnes at roughly the same price, and this one has 800W more motor than the other. The trade-off is weight and price per tonne: £42.86 per tonne against £18.00 on the hand-operated 10-tonne model below.

## Questions people ask

**Why does motor power matter more than tonnage?**

Because the tonnage is produced by the motor through the hydraulic pump. Two splitters here claim seven tonnes at the same price, and one has a 1,500W motor against this one's 2,300W.

**How big a log will it split?**

Up to 250mm in diameter and 520mm long, according to the listing. Longer logs have to be cut down first.

**Is it portable?**

No. It weighs 60kg, so it lives where you use it — which is normal for electric splitters in this price range.

**Does it need hydraulic oil?**

The listing does not describe filling it, and machines in this class usually arrive ready to run. Check the manual before first use.

**How does it compare with the 10-tonne splitter?**

The 10-tonne model is £120 cheaper and claims more force, but it is hand operated, so you pump it. This one does the work.

**How many ratings does it have?**

50 at the time of collection, averaging 4.6 stars, with 73 per cent five-star and 4 per cent one-star.
