paper shredder
8 Answers
Hi all, hope someone can help; we have tried 4 paper shredders, 3 made by fellowes and one from tescos and they all seem to give up after a few sheets. They all are supposed to shred up to 8 sheets at a time but struggle to get through 2 sheets . It is so annoying as I have taken them back each time spent more money getting a more expensive one but the same thing happens. Can anyone suggest a good shredder, we only use it now and again but want one that works. Many thanks.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I had the same problem and after the 4th cheap and cheerful one decided to talk to someone at a company that specialises in shredders. He told me two useful things: firstly, the blades need to be steel to have any kind of lifespan and secondly, the number of sheets is set for the US market who apparently use very thin paper compared to us in the UK, so for 8 sheets read 4.
I concluded that I would have to spend more money than I had been and ended up with an HSM which one year on is doing just fine. I�m also much better at using the oil than I used to be, which is also more important than I realised.

I have had a Fellowes shredder for many years, and they take a lot of sheets at once. I used to run a small business, and when I closed, I kept the shredder at home - still going strong. IIts worth ringing Viking up, and getting a price comparison, - also ask if there are any free gifts with it, or free gifts on offer this month.
