Basic shredder, good for personal use
Basic shredder, easy to use. After shredding about 20 pages the unit gets really hot and stops. You need to wait until it cools down to keep shredding. If you have time and patience this shredder is a good option. Inexpensive. Definitely not the best for high volumes of paper. Great for personal use, filling, doing paperwork. Read full review

Decent
This shredder makes fast work of shedding. Though.... There are a few downsides:
Very noisy.
Some shredded paper tends to stick in teeth after about four or five paper shreds, meaning the tweezers have to come out!
Motor gets hot very quickly causing the shredder to cut out in well under the 2 minutes continual shredding time it claims to give.
I got this on offer of about £25 but if I'd paid the full amount that it usually costs I would be very unhappy with it for the price, for the reasons stated above.
Used to have another WH Smith's shredder which was a lot better. I guess it's like everything else though, things aren't designed or made as well as they used to be!Read full review

Looks good, works well.
A neat and slim product, pleasing to the eye and lighter than other shredders I have had in the past. I have only used it once so far. It seems to work very well. The lead, is, in my view, of a good length, in as much as it reaches far enough for the machine to be hidden, out of immediate sight when not in use. The only small criticism is that it is rather noisy - hence 4 stars instead of 5. Overall, I am very pleased with it. Read full review

Lightweight with good features
So far the shredder has been reliable but to be fair I've only used it a couple of times. Viewing panel on front is very useful to see when container is getting full.

Loud but Truelly Awesome!
Amazing for the money, extremely simple and easy to use, takes a good amount of A4 paper AT A4 PAPER SIZE!!, the only downfall is the noise but that's minor nitpicking compared to what you get for the cost, spend the extra £5 and buy this instead, well worth it.Read full review

Good product but......
Good sturdy product but unfortunately, No 'On/Off light' so sometimes difficult to know if the shredder is on. It also overheats fairly quickly and immediately stops working - which is good in one sense but frustrating because I didn't know the reason why it stopped the first time.

A walk In the park.
Being an experienced user of home xcut shredders and Swiss Army Knives' I have found it to be a good machine. Though attempts to deal with 'that extra sheet' occasionally. is not recommended. The shredder has been given a large amount to do and I think it has been a good buy. Shredding more that 5 sheets ; or excessive use in one job is proved to be deleterious. I have faith that it will do well as I persist in writing my first novel; my previous shredder having expired after dealing with my proposed library. (Per the. ' vein of' late laconic comedian, Tony Hancock.)Read full review

Does is shred enough
This product is fine for small amounts of shredding.
It can only take 5 pieces of paper at a time without staples.
It also overheats if you use for a length of time.
I would say it is a fair quality and good value and perfect for home use only.
