Peach Cross Cut Shredder - PS300-21

I don't know why people are complaining about the fact that it takes only one sheet of paper at a time and about the poor construction/quality.People need to understand that this is a cheap item, so they need to handle it with care.I have already shredded around 600 pieces of paper. Not the full sheets, of course. TIP: I put through the shredder ONLY the part of the paper which contains my details or any other sensible details (bank accounts, account numbers from various companies, etc). Just break the corner with the details and shred that only! :D Works for me.It cuts very well, even after all the mechanical stress of cca 600 pieces of paper. The handle looks good and there is no sign that it will break any time soon.P.S. I have no opinion on card/CD shredding, as I haven't tried that and I do not intend to do it.

I've had this shredder for a few months now and overall I'm really happy with it. This is the first shredder I've owned and I was drawn to it initially by the low price and the cross-cut ability of the paper shredder. There are a few shortcomings, most notably the build quality of the handle which, as other reviews have mentioned, is a bit flimsy and comes off the shredder quite easily. Overall though, I think it's good value for money and does the job well, without the noise of electric shredders.The paper shredder is definitely the part that sees the most use for me. It can only shred one sheet of paper at a time, but the cross-cut destroys documents beyond any real hope of recovery. The shreds are really thin, rarely showing more than 2 letters of text per line -- a definite step up in security compared to ripping paperwork up that I did before. Since buying it, mine has shredders hundreds of pages of paperwork and still seems to be going strong.The credit card shredder also works well. It does only cut them into four pieces though, so for added security, it's worth shredding the pieces multiple times until a satisfactory level of destruction is reached and no information on the card can be read.For the CD shredder I had more of a mixed experience. I felt like the handle needed to be really forced in order to cut through a CD and I didn't want to risk breaking the mechanism by applying too much force. It was a bit of a shame, but for the rarity that I have a CD which needs destroying it's not too much of a downside; when the time comes, I wrap them in a bag and snap them in half like that. The shredder will cut CDs and DVDs into three pieces though, which is more than enough to make them unreadable.I would recommend buying this shredder if you don't have huge quantities of stuff to shred regularly. If you do, an electric shredder would probably be best. For low to moderate amounts though, this product will do a good job of keeping your information shredded and secure.

Ideal for those small jobs, shredding junk mail that has your details on it, the odd letter, shop receipts etc.Follow the simple instructions supplied and you can't go wrong.Shredder teeth are sharp enough to cut through those flimsy thermal shop receipts and also through good quality printing / writing paper.There's a different set of teeth to shred CD's and Credit Cards which is a good design as usually shredding CD's etc in the main paper part of electric shredders is what tends to blunt the cutting teeth and work the gears apart, affecting cutting performance.So this design avoids such issues.Some have reviewed to say operation is a little stiff to wind the handle around but this is only because this shredder is geared to cross-shred.It's also turning several separate shredding wheels / teeth; x1 for paper, x1 for CD's and x1 for credit cards, so when you turn the handle there's several things going on at once.This also makes the head of the device a bit heavy (several cutting wheels) so those with poor grip in their hands I wouldn't recommend this device as turning the handle might be a little awkward where an electric shredder takes away such a concern. But this is much easier to store and use for occasional light use as opposed to a full on electric shredder which tend to be much bigger than this, heavier and would't store in a desk draw etc.Only shred one item at a time, not multiple items, this is what the instructions tell you and remember to give the handle a couple of extra turns after each shred to allow the cutting teeth to clear out any remainder paper etc. This is standard practice for good maintenance of the device.You can also buy specific shredder oil to keep the cutting teeth in good order but this device comes well lubed and greased so longevity shouldn't be an issue.Great value!

Tres bien pour son utilisation personnelle dans le cadre de la sécurité de ses données personnelles. Contraintes :- une seule page a la fois ;- poignée en plastique qui semble un peu fragile- rapport qualité prix légèrement élevé mais l'appareil fait le job.Aucun soucis depuis l'acquisition avec pas mal de papier déjà mouliné. Petits copeaux par rapport aux bandes droites, très efficace !

Tolles Teil, ist immer wieder im Einsatz und hat mittlerweile hunderte von Seiten vernichtet. Funktioniert immer noch einwandfrei. Kurbel fällt zwischendurch mal ab, aber das stört nicht weiter (ist nur angesteckt). Bin nach wie vor begeistert, einen handbetriebenen Aktenvernichter gefunden zu haben, der dazu noch klein und viel handlicher als die großen strombetriebenen Ungetüme ist. Man sollte allerdings tatsächlich nur eine oder maximal 2 Seiten auf einmal durchkurbeln, sonst hakt es. Für den Privatgebrauch perfekt, da ja zu Hause nicht so viel anfällt, was geschreddert werden muss.

Ottimo oggetto, sono pienamente soddisfatta dell'acquisto, oltretutto ad un vantaggioso prezzo offerto dall'usato di Amazon. Mi sento di consigliarlo assolutamente per le sue caratteristiche di compattezza e utilizzo. Il tritadocumenti è piccolo e poco ingombrante, appena più largo di un foglio A4 che è la massima dimensione che riesce a sminuzzare, costituito da un contenitore in plastica trasparente atto a contenere il trito e un "coperchio" con ingranaggi e denti, di un certo peso. Il funzionamento è a manovella, cosa che permette di regolare velocità di avanzamento ed eventuali criticità (a me non è successo di avere fogli inceppati ecc), il taglio del modello da me acquistato è in frammenti di dimensione 1.5cm x 0.5cm.È un prodotto veramente valido, unica pecca la manovella laterale è molto piccola, quasi un giocattolo, e difficile da impugnare per un adulto.Nel complesso mi sento di consigliarlo assolutamente.

En primer lugar las instrucciones vienen en todos los idiomas menos en Español. Al montar la manivela no queda bien encajada, desde luego no queda como en la foto de la caja, y se sale con mucha facilidad. He probado a destruir "2 folios" a la vez y ha sido como destruir hierro. Había que hacer mucha fuerza para girar la manivela. No quiero pensar la fuerza que habrá que ejercer para destruir un CD o una tarjeta.El resultado de destruir los folios lo podeis ver en las fotos. El papel no queda bien destruido en tiras, sino hecho un gurruño y agujereado. Si se quiere destruir un papel con intención de que quede ilegible desde luego este no es el aparato, ya que aunque quede arrugado y perforado, el contenido del documento se puede leer perfectamente. Lo devuelvo y no lo recomiendo para nada

Ich habe das Gerät heute erhalten und gleich ausprobiert, da sich im Laufe der Zeit einiges angesammelt hatte. Ich habe mit der Kurbel und auch mit einem Akkuschrauber geschreddert. Beides funktioniert einwandfrei bei Einzelblättern. Bei zwei Blättern oder Visitenkarten wird es etwas schwieriger.Fazit: Für gelegentliches Schreddern Top Gerät mit gutem Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis und Stromlos betreibbar. Wenn man bei Einzelblättern bleibt wird man voraussichtlich lange "Freude" an dem Gerät haben.
