#Rexel shredder review (2009-06-15) Great looking product. Works well as a home shredder, no trouble so far - even cuts up credit cards well. Bin very easy to empty without getting dust/paper everywhere. I do not know what a confetti cut is, but the shredded material looks strip cut to me. Note that the instructions specifically tell you that shredder oil is not required.

#Finally! (2009-06-01) Finally a decent shredder at a good price that looks good and is great for low volume work. Bought this after returning a cheaper make simply to a bit of shredding at home and it works a treat!

#Brilliant shredder for the money but not for bulk shredding (2009-06-01) I bought this shredder for two reasons, one for shredding finished with mail on a daily basis & two to clear 23 years worth of old paperwork. Its fantastic on a daily basis for a few minutes worth of shredding, but if you want something to handle bulk shredding jobs this shredder will handle it but you will have to keep stopping to let it cool down. It has a safety shut off when it gets hot which is a good thing, but it takes a good 20 minutes to cool down enough for it to come back to life. It looks lovely, h...

#Shredder from the future (2009-05-01) Looks fantastic, has an awesome standby feature, which uses ZERO POWER, donno how it works, but if paper gets in its mouth it chews it up promptly. Very effective shredding too, handles several sheets easily.

#very happy (2009-01-29) Product does what it says. Is great for the junk mail rubbish that gets posted now. Would not be any good for office but larger size probably would

#Careful Fitting Required (2009-07-01) This is a great product once you ve worked out exactly how the shredder sits on the bucket. It sounds a bit obvious but there s a knack for getting it to sit properly on the top and if you don t get it right the shredder doesn t work. Apart from that - great product and as usual fab customer service

#super shredder (2009-06-29) This is one special shredder - quiet, safe and quick. It doesn t need emptying too often, as it makes such a good job of shreds. I will buy another to replace others when required.

#Good Fellowes!!!!! (2009-06-23) When this shreds it lets you know that it is working but it has every right to be proud as it shreds virtually anything (within reason) and has a large capacity to hold the results of its hard work. For the money it is very good - more than adequate for home or small office use. Good product.

#Dead on arrival (2009-06-22) This arrived and looked great! Solid item, well packaged. We unpacked put together and switched on and nothing happened. Checked connections and fuse, still nothing, so it had to go back. Have ordered a replacement.

#Not working (2009-06-16) Just received mine to day and does not work, no power. Unable to comment on how it works.

#Delivery Out of this world (2009-06-12) I am not sure if this company were waiting round the corner. I ordered this late afternoon. Then somehow early next morning it arrived, all the way from Scotland to suffolk in less than 18hours. Unbievable. Oh and by the way the shredder is excellant. this was a 2nd purchase for another office. They are great

#Brilliant shredder (2009-06-07) In comparison with other shredders that we have tried, this one has proved itself to be one of the best. It arrrived promptly, the instructions are clear and it works very effectively and without undue noise. It is also extremely easy to empty as the container slides out easily. Would definitely recommend it.

#Very good machine (2009-04-26) Works very well. I bought some oil that you squirt on to a piece of paper which needs to be shredded - easy way to oil and clean the cogs. Only thing that did not work so well was shredding newspaper - it clogged up the cutters a bit as it is so thin and fluffy. We got this to shred our paper for the compost which is why I tried newspaper. All the other stuff is shredded brilliantly

#Shredder (2009-03-20) I have previously bought the smaller capacity shredders from good companies but found that they don t easily deal with more than two sheets at a time and don t last long. This time I spent a bit more money and bought the Swordfish 1000XC and so far I am delighted with its performance.

#Shredder (2009-03-13) Having tried other shredders with all their hype I found this machine to be the best for the money. It s simple to use and empty.

#Budget Shredder (2009-02-13) If you are looking for a budget shredder which does the job then this is it. Easy to use and handles small volumes of shredding very well.

#Recommend by Which? & recommended by me! (2009-02-05) I bought this shredder after seeing it in Which? magazine and I totally support their review. I do agree that sometimes it may appear to be dead but I have found that this is just if you don t put the head back on the waste bin correctly. There is a safety switch on the bin so you have got to put it on the right way round and flush with the bin. I definitely recommend buying the lubrication sachets to take care of it. In my experience no shredder lasts with oiling it. All in all this shredder does what it says on the box. It i...

#Swordfish shredder to Avoid (2009-01-31) Having owned this little shredder s bigger brother 2000XCD for 24 months (which, incidentally is fantastic and we would recommend 100%), we decided to buy this shredder for home to replace an old one that we bought from a stationery store many years ago. Big mistake. The shredder makes such a loud noise in operation you really need ear mufflers (I m not exaggerating here). It has started to struggle in the last week, making lumpy noises and we have not exceeded the amount of sheets it should take, or indeed put clips/etc, that may break or...

#Swordfish shredder (2009-01-15) Swordfish 500DC. I agree with the poor reviews having had this a few months it has now broken down. Despite oiling it and treating it with care. Very poor not to be recommended.

#A disappointment (2008-08-28) The mechanism of the first 500D I bought failed after five months despite careful use and lubrication. The replacement machine lasted eight months. I feel the shredding mechanism on the machine is only suitable for the lightest of domestic use and then only if the machine is carefully cleaned and lubricated. I would not recommend it.

#Fellowes P-58C Cross Cut Shredder (2009-05-22) I like this shredder. It is well built and works well. Sounds louder than my last shredder but does a good job.

#Home office shredder (2009-04-29) I bought this machine to replace my previous Ryman s shredder as the motor gave upthrough heavy use and I didn t oil it. This one shreds credit cards, up to 9 pieces of normal A4 paper and staples. It is quick but quite noisy. Top lifts off easily to empty container and it holds a week s worth of daily shredding from a home office. As the base is plastic it is light-weight but doesn t slide easily over a carpet to pull out for emptying (I keep mine under my desk). The cross-cut is ok but not as small as the Ryman s shredder. It has a safe senso...

#Fellowes P-58c (2009-04-17) Having used this product for a couple of months, it has shown to be an excellent shredder. Well built, with a large capacity bin and able to take various thicknesses of paper, etc.

#So far so good (2009-02-27) This shredder has reliably shredded a great number of my old records without any problems. I have limited the number of sheets to 6 at a time and oiled the blades as instructed. The only piece of advice I would give is that the shredded paper can spill out if the container is allowed to fill to the top. Otherwise no problems.

#My life is a heap! (2009-01-29) Fellowes P-58C Cross Cut Shredder with SafeSense TechnologyCheap shredders are worse than lighting a fire in the wheel barrow :(I didn t have much to shred but what I did have took so long with my £15 shredder yet I couldn t justify the cost of this good one. BUT IT s EXCELLENT. All my history is now a heap of little diamond shaped paper shreddings. I managed to occupy it for two days - well us retired folks don t have much else to do :) - it stood up well. So go for it!! BUT I must remember to buy some cutter oil since I guess it ll need some sometim...
