  bought this from amazon about a week ago for £26 and have used it intensely for a week as my shred pile was pretty big.
  
  my tips are:
  
  dont put more than 6 sheets in... it's can't handle it
  it will overheat after 20 mins constant use, so just leave it for an hour
  
  At this price you can't go wrong

  Thanks, ordered. As far as cashback goes quidco looks better for this if anyone uses both as they currently have 6% cashback on office equipment with ebuyer. I know we're not talking huge amounts of difference but it all adds up.

  Got this model form Amazon last week for £19.99. It is quite slow to shred (slower than my existing cheapy LIDL shredder). The size of the confetti it produces is quite long (not as secure as some cross-cut shredders). One plus point is that the bin is easy to empty (it doesn't have a lip around the edge, unlike my other shredder which is a pain to empty due to the shreddings getting caught on the lip). Overall it is all right for twenty quid. Does overheat and cut-out after 20 mins of continuous shredding (like most shredders).

  I've noticed that my shredder also heats up after using in continuously for like 5 minutes, and needs to be left to cool down, annoying when you have great piles you're trying to shred off in one go.

  I bought one of these from Amazon and killed it yesterday. I got about 3 months of quite regular use out of it before it jammed and died. I took it apart (for the 3rd time in its short life!) but it was a little too far gone!
  
  Ordered another one from Amazon yesterday as at this price it's pretty much disposable anyway.

  £5 more for an incinerator bin, does 10000+ sheets at a time, lasts 10x as long, pollutes the atmosphere, and annoys your neighbours to hell. What is not to love?
  
  Also, as one reviewer notices, this provides a great excuse to get out in the garden with a beer. You could even cook some jacket potatoes at the same time, to save energy, and hence more money saved.. Really, a fabulous device.

  I bought this one from amazon too - in no comparison is it as good as my old rexel one. 4 sheets are a max i'd say - and even then you have to untangle/clog every few minutes as it cuts out!! It has cut my credit card up tho which i didn't think it would as it struggles with more than 4 sheets of paper! For the price its ok though! Wouldn't pay more than £20!
