Can insert filled envelopes so long as they are not too full,will do credit cards and nice refuse tray.
Wished a shredder with wheels, easy to empty, safety lock, perfect for our small office requirements.
Very easy to use and convenient. The wheels are a big plus for people with limited mobility.
I like everything, and dislike nothing, about this shredder. I’m using it at home and it meets my needs very well.
I bought this to replace one I had had for years and I’m not disappointed very quiet when shredding can shred more pages at once with this one shreds credit cards also
I have managed to shred papers for up to an hour without a break, beyond needing to empty the container, without its cut off kicking in.
It is easy to use with a dedicated on/off switch for extra safety.
My only gripe is that if I forget to empty the bin before it fills then some paper shards stay in the teeth of the shredder and get caught as you pull the bin out, dropping into the cavity the bin leaves and sometimes on to the floor too. This means you sometimes have a little tidying up to do or need to lift the awkward, top heavy shredder and try and tip the dropped paper shards back into the bin.
The one gripe aside though, this is a great little shredder and I would definitely recommend it.
Likes: It doesn’t overheat so quickly
Disappointments: It claims to shred up to 10 sheets at a time but the motor slows noticeably with any more than 3 or 4. Also it still cuts out on overheat much earlier than the promised 30 minutes.
Dislikes: it creates longer shreds so the waste is more bulky and the bin needs emptying more often. It also makes a whole lot more dust than the pervious model, which cost less than half the price
It seems good shredder, chops through papers and envelopes with ease, removing bin and replacing a little fiddly, but good overall
Very nice to have white one for a change. It looks good. Chose this one because it has a pull out basket for emptying. The last one was quite heavy when you had to remove the top in order to get at the bin. I found it very hard to find consistent data across different models to compare the decibel rating. In the end we had to take the plunge and this one is acceptable. I can’t verify how long it will last or how robust it will be because only had it a couple of weeks. We have cleared a backlog of shredding though and it seems fine for a home office.
Easy to put together & really easy to use & empty the contents
This product is everything you need from a shredder. Light and easy to move and easy to empty. Brilliant.
As long as you don’t overload it, lasts 30 minutes plus. Really pleased with it.
Needed a replacement shredder and this fitted the bill perfectly. Nice and quiet compared to the old one, and the removable bin is both large and convenient when it comes to emptying the end product.
Got one for the home office, fast enough to handle tons of old document, white color fits well with rest of the furniture.
Does every thing it says shreds paper and bank card easily
Large bin so don’t have to keep emptying. Works well.
This is a quality shredder that has become a permanent fixture in my garage so junk mail, confidential post, etc can get shredded as soon as possible rather than leaving it around my house.
The shredder handles paper and card very well. The blades are strong and even cut through any staples. I have shredded a couple of bank/credit cards too and it handled them fine.
The only time it jammed was when my husband tried to shred a John Fowler holiday brochure. But the reverse feature worked well and we just backed it out of the blade system.
The bin is large and holds about half a black bin bag worth of shredded material. It is fully removable too so you can just take it out and tip the whole thing up into the bin.
The shredder comes with good quality wheels which make it easy to move spots (even though this is a very lightweight machine if you did need to lift). You can choose to have the wheels on or off.
With our cardboard recycling bin being swapped for recycling bags now, this has helped us shred cardboard boxes so as to save room in the recycling bag.
We have used it an awful lot over the past month and haven’t had any problems. Well worth the investment.
This is a sturdy, heavy duty shredder. Got it to go in our home office and it looks smart. Can shred up to 12 sheets at a time if required and also does credit cards.
I like the safety features, especially having young children in the house. There is switch at the rear and also a lock function on the top,
It’s pretty quick, quite noisy and does shred small, although there are shredders that cut even smaller. None the less, for the paper work we shred it’s perfectly adequate.
It’s heavy but comes supplied with castors should you need to move around. It’s easy to empty just bulky pulling out the bin from the front.
Overall, would recommend!
I bought this shredder based on the reviews. Up to now it has behaved really well. I don’t put in 8 sheets of 80 gsm paper, at the most I put in 4 or 5. I want this shedder to last so I don’t want to make it work at capacity all the time. I am happy to shred up to 5 sheets or less if paper is more than 80 gsm. It does perform for 30 minutes constant before needing a rest and it cuts out so try to rest it for a few minutes every 10 minutes of work. I am happy with it to date. Granted I have only had it a few weeks but it’s been great up to now. I love the front emptying bin too.
It is perfect for home office. You can see how full it is via clear window on front. Bit noisy
I’ve had many shredders over the years with various positive and negative points but this one beats them all for both performance and price. A great all-rounder you won’t find better – highly recommended !!!
Great home shredder. Lighter and slimmer than previous ones I have had. Ideal to use at home for regular use. Good brand and I am happy with this one so far. Has a pull out box so emptying is much easier than having to lift the shredder top itself off . Easy to use and the window helps to check when it needs emptying .Only thing I would say is a bit of a worry is that the shredder seems a little brittle so I am being careful when emptying (not that I am clumsy) . Happy with my purchase and good value and price for what you ge
I quite like the shredder he seems to be quite well built quite sturdy in construction and the nice thing is that the actual bin pulls out forwards as opposed to the previous read is that I had where you had to lift the top up to throw the shredded bits of paper out which created quite a lot of mess so at this point I’m quite happy with i
