Advantages: A huge basket for the results of the shredding Disadvantages: The machine gets very hot!
, minimal packaging and minimal fuss.
The basket is made from steel and feels very thick and strong. It also, surprisingly, holds loads of paper.... it took a long time to fill up and even longer to empty out into the compost bin!
The shredder element is easy enough to use, but did on occasion, overheat. At first we thought that it had broken, but after leaving it for about ten minutes it was ready to go again.
I must say that there is something highly addictive about shredding and it is a satisfying job with the TESCO shredder. It makes minimal noice too... We were still able to watch the TV whilst doing it!

on normal paper a comparison can be made between the two. The type faces on the HR paper are sharper and crisper and stand our more on the page. Whereas in normal paper there can be slight imperfections seen when inspected close up these are vastly reduced by using this HR paper. So your job applications and resume looks neater sharper and indeed catch the eye more pleasingly all round.
