UK Best Price & Read Reviews on Discount Office Electronics for Sale

I needed a shredder to shred the typical household things, like receipts and bank statements, and this does the job, whilst looking good.

PROS:
– Sturdy and solid build. The head is rather heavy, but has an aesthetic handle at the top to lift it from the bin;
– Nice sleek design (doesn’t look “officey” at all);
– Shreds the paper into really tiny pieces, which was a concern with a non-cross cut shredder. If I had hamsters, they would have a happy home;
– It handles many receipts & paper at one go at a good speed – I do not tend to feed it much at one go (just a personal preference), but the heavy head definitely has a manly enough shredder;
– The new engine inside smells quite nice when you first start using it;
– It shreds CDs. It has a nice guard on the CD shredder, too;

CONS:
– I cannot see any drawbacks to it right now. It’s exactly what I needed.

NOTE: When shredding bank statements (around 4 sheets), do not fold them, as this can give the shredder a bit of a hard time. This is NOT the shredders’ fault, as it clearly states that it can “only” take up to 8 sheets, which is really great. I managed to temporarily jam it by feeding it a folded 4 sheet bank statement, but it was easily resolved by pressing the Auto and Reverse buttons.

Recieved this recently and i have to say i am very pleased with my purchase, and i will consider buying more for a few friends who i know are in need of a relaiable shredder.

Firsty i think it looks really nice – it has a very shiny black and silver finish which you can just about see in the photos, in reality this looks even better and its quite eyecatching.

I have shredded all of the junk mail that had built up, and the shredder ate it all without flinching.

It seems quieter than i had expected also, the handle is a nice touch and makes emptying easy. I also like the separate slot for shredding CD’s which should protect the main shredder although i haven’t had need to shred CD’s.

On the downside i guess the bin could be a little bigger, but the viewing window allows you to see whats going on there – so really it’s not an issue.

I’m a new customer to Amazon and all i can say is that i am very impressed.

I scanned all the reviews…and this shredder is the best you can buy for the money. It is sleek in looks and can handle 2-3 sheets at a time without stopping to cool down like some brands. My strong advice is to buy it….and NEVER NEVER BUY A FELLOWES SHREDDER!. The gears are plastic and they just fail, who in their right mind would build a shredder with plastic gears?…and plastic fails pretty quickly. If you call Fellowes they kindly tell you about the plastic gears and it cannot be fixed…even if it is within warranty.I have had 2 Fellowes and all went in the dustbin within weeks. The Aurora AS800CD does not have the same issues and cheap gears…so you know what to do.
