temping and typing, my poor hands need a break from the repetitiveness of such an exercise.
Step forward, Mr Fellowes.
What can I say about this thing? I've had it quite a while and it's never let me down. It's a sturdy little thing and, unlike many of the cheap shredders I've encountered in many small offices countywide, it's built to last. It doesn't just shred your paper into lengthy strips, it chops it into little 2 cm confetti-like pieces. This is called cross-shredding and is recommended for completely destroying personal information.
It's silver in colour with a modern-looking mesh bin and the top lifts off very easily (no clipping and clunking, it just balances on top of the bin), although it's surprisingly heavy for a wee thing, so mind your fingernails, ladies.
'What of the dimensions?', I hear you cry. Well, you get a 4 ...
shape or form. Shredders also shred to different widths. Needless to say, you want to shred to as thin a width as possible to reduce the possibility that someone might stick the bits back together.
The Fellowes P50CM is a cross-cut shredder that shreds up to 100 sheets per day (20 shredding passes of 5 sheets). It is a cross-cut shredder that cuts particles into 3.9 x 22mm pieces. This is smaller than average. Normal shredders will cut into slightly larger particles. It isn’t top of the price range, but for a fairly low outlay, it is very effective.
Do looks matter?
Well, for me, yes they do. Some of the supposed “home” shredders just seem really ugly to me, and I’m so fussy about everything that I even want a shredder that looks a certain way. The P50 CM is different from most of the home shredders that I ...
Advantages: Looks nice and works well Disadvantages: Not really up to 5 sheets
Just bought this from Argos at £25 so seems to be about a mid-price shredder.
I wanted something that seemed more solidly built than my last two machines as they have not lasted long, I only shread household paper but the others just don't seem to have lasted more than about a year.
This is supposed to take 5 sheets of paper but since most things I want to shred seem to be on "thick" paper I have only put three sheets through at a time. It seems to cope fine with this and is not too noisy. Normally the shredding speed is quite quick. I find if I do overload it then it slows down and struggles but it does seem to keep cutting. It is not large enough to take A4 sheets sidewards so they always have to go in lengthways.
The most disappointing feature is that it does cut out fairly quickly , after 4 minutes or so it will stop (a ...
