12-Sheet Cross-Cut Heavy Duty Paper Shredder for Home Office

I bought this to replace a lousy cheap thing in my office. My needs are modest. I have a Rexel domestic product at home that has chugged on for 20 years of self-employed duty, it shreds two pages at a time if they're not thick. It gets hot and is slow and easy to jam, but has been reliable. This shredder is about the same noise level as my Rexel, does cross cut pretty well, and has a good sized bucket for the shreds, with a window which is indeed very useful. It isn't particularly fast and it copes with maybe four sheets of paper, but I stick to two because more just slows it down, stresses the thing, and will reduce it's lifespan. It is listed as for light office duty, I think that's a good description. To me it's work is a few sheets regularly, with infrequent sessions shredding the odd ream of old files. If that is your workload, this will do fine. If you need something fast and dependable for regular office file shredding, can't take the time to remove staples &c, or need 12 sheets shredded at a time, I would suggest look at paying a fair bit more for a commercial-duty shredder which this does not pretend to be. It has a reverse 'always on' setting for clearing jams, but no 'always on' forward setting which can be useful. However, it stays on for a couple of seconds after the paper has passed through which goes a long way to clearing any impending jams.

Really great paper shredder,easy to use and good price

The shredder is working well, not too noisy and copes with quite a few pages at a time. Although it claims it can shred 12 pages at once, this seems quite ambitious so am sticking to 4 or 5 as I don't want to risk a jam. It will be very useful shredding bank statements and other confidential documents. Although it's quite large and fairly heavy to lift it has a handle and good capacity bin. Very pleased I bought it.

This shredder is very efficient. The capacity is also good. I have been very impressed so far. No jamming but I put less through so that it won't happen. It was on offer when I bought it too.

It works well And doesn’t make noise

Fantastic - this shredder positively rips through paper. It disappears faster than much bigger shredders I've used in the past. It's not too fussy - just stick to the no more than 12 sheets at a time. The speed it works at is remarkable and the end result is small, only about 1 x 4 cm pieces. The only difficult bit is emptying it without making a mess - but in this type of shredder there's no getting around that. I rarely write reviews - but this shredder is so good I just had to say so!

I was replacing a small regular shredder where the blades had been dulled and I was frustrated with the bin size. This is a cross shredder, so although the bin is still on the small side it holds a great deal more. Now it says it might take 12 sheets but I wouldn't try it as it starts to labour over 4 sheets. It does a good job, it's quick and has saved me emptying it every 5 minutes. I'm not giving 5 stars because I think they have played with the truth about the 12 sheets, but otherwise I'm happy with it.

Works well and hasn't tripped on overload, but not tried the 12 sheet claim, yet.

Very good quality. Happy with this shredder.

Funciona muy bien,recomendada

this thing is a beast. value for money it is absolutely wonderful choose through paper and even light cardboard with no issues it says don't use it on cardboard but it definitely works I haven't had the motor stall out or give me a heat warning at all I've gone through multiple boxes and multiple papers with no issues the safety cutoff is pretty nice when you lift it out of the container I will say that if you're not careful and if you knock over the container while it's got stuff in it it will definitely cause a mess but the device itself is not messy it all goes inside of the little bin and the view window is also nice for letting you know when you are getting full

Perfecta siempre y cuando no introduzca más de 12 hojas por vez, cuando ya pones 10 a 12 el proceso se hace un poco más lento.

I just got it yesterday and have not tried it yet, but it's very compact and looks like it will work really well. Came sooner than expected so very happy with the service. I may do a further review once I've put it to work to see how it does. I'm not expecting any issues, though. I DID purchase a bottle of Fellowes shredder oil as well after reading another review on a different shredder from someone else. I think this is a very good idea just to keep things in good shape and prevent paper dust from jamming up the teeth and keeping it running smoothly.
