ours is gash at best, cant handle more than 3 sheets of paper until it lightly scores rather than shreds, so can anyone recommend me a decent one?

Not the Fellows P-35C. Is the loudest thing* I have ever encountered. Will do 5-6 pages of 80g paper at a struggle.

*I may have heard something louder but I can’t re-call. Maybe some biscuits will help me remember, I don’t know. Got any biscuits?

Got one of these, does the job it claims to do:

Depends how industrial your shredding needs are though…

cheers IA that looks perfect.

Fellowes shredders seem fine,got mine through work (freebie from Viking when you ordered their own-brand copy paper). I wouldn’t say it was especially noisy IMO.

In true STW style.

Wood burning stove!

Forty quid job from Tesco’s does ok, cross-cut and that. It’s noisy.

For those who do shred, what do you do with your paper post shred?

May I suggest a paper brick maker if you have a wood burning stove?

One bin bag of shredding makes about 8 bricks. Burn a good hour+. Very impressed.

Fellows p58cs has been great for the past year I’ve owned it. It also does credit cards and cd/ DVDs , staples and paper clips.
Ideal of the junk mail as you don’t even have to open it :). I think I paid £49 for mine while on sale at Robert dyas.

I got the one IA suggested, very impressed and pretty quiet.

oh and I use my paper for the rats (pets) and I make bricks for the burner which are good.
