Tesco Value Strip Cut Shredder

My sparkly new shredder courtesy of Tesco’s Value range cost me a whole £9.97! Branded as a Strip Cut Shredder, this 7 litre capacity gizmo is brilliant to safely bin all those bank statements and bills which you find years later and no longer need. I had been looking for a cheap shredder to do just that, shred 6 years of bills and statements which I am never going to need. In the traditional white box with blue stripe Tesco Value stamp in the corner, this item was sat amongst the more expensive versions in the “home” section of my local Tesco Extra store. On opening the box, which wasn’t ... more

I have owned a small number of shredders in the past, both manual and electrical ones. They both have their advantages and disadvantages. Generally speaking manual shredders are inexpensive, with electronic powered devices often costing more, also with more potential problems! I came across the Tesco Value 7litre Paper Shredder and Bin and I thought it would give me the best of both worlds, with the inexpensive pricetag and the electrical operation! Priced at around £9 it isn't a very expensive electric powered shredder so I didn't get my hopes up too much with the results. I expected the ... more

I decided that the safest way to dispose of all this paper would be to buy a shredder. I knew I didn’t want anything too expensive or difficult to store. During my weekly shopping trip to my local Tesco I spotted a Tesco value shredder at the very reasonable price of £7.97. At this price I felt it was well worth buying especially as it came with a 1 year guarantee. The Tesco value shredder is a very ... more
