This product does exactly what it says on the advertisement exceptional value for money

Bought to replace a previous ten year old Rexel machine. I hope that this lasts as long. Easy to use but the window to show how full it is is pretty useless. Our previous machine was always set to automatic. This one has to be switched on each time and a lit symbol shows this (I suppose it could be left on). I do wonder how long constant use of the slide switch will last before it wears out!

Just the job works well and limited overheating

I upgrade from a Rexel ribbon shredder, that I have had for over 20 years and is still working great, to this cross cut shredder for improved security. The shredded work great. However, after having it for a week, and it have been plugged into the mains from the start, I have just notice that there was a slight electrical smell coming from it and that the main switch was slightly warmer to the touch as the rest of the body. I use a thermal camera and saw that the body had a temperature of 19C and the switch 23C. I checked the power use and saw that the shredder is using 1 Watt (5vA) of power when switched off. I do not know if this a feature of this shredder, but in case it is, I would advise that you remove the mains plug when not in use. But all in all this is a great shredder and I hope that it will last as long as my old one.Follow up:- After 5 months of occasional use the shredder has completely stopped working. Spoke with the manufacturer and they told me to contact Amazon for a replacement, or repair. Unable to get hold of anyone at Amazon. They appear to be not interest in giving any customer support on an item that is still under warranty . Very disappointed, especially with being a longstanding customer of Amazon.Follow up: After navigating the Amazon customer service AI, I finally was given the option for a call back about the problem I am having. Spoke with two ladies who were very helpful and was offered to have the shredder replace with a new one and they would arrange for the old one to be collected. The collection and delivery happened within within 24 hours. Very happy about the outcome. Lets hope the new shredder preforms better than the previous.Also, a big thank you to Rexel customer support for assisting with this.

Appears well made and of good quality. Does the intended job well and I have no complaints to date.

This shredder seems to be reliable and is efficient for my home shreding needs!! The cross-cutting mechanism provides a decent level of security for shredding sensitive documents. It doesnt take too long until you need to clear out the waste catcher and if you leave it too long the paper being few through can start to backup. Overall, it's a solid option for secure home shredding at a decent price point.

Noisy but good value

Wife misunderstood me when I said I was gunna get shredded for me holidays, she bought me this instead, it actually works really well this will destroy any paperwork no problem won't give you a six-pack.
