Advantages: electrical
Disadvantages: its white and can show dust

...Well what can I say, this is the best shredder that I have used it can shred 12 pieces of paper at a time. Its also safe. the bad point about it is that it costs a lot of money when there is a manual shredder that will also do the job. this shredder has a very big space and thats what makes it way better than the manual shredders that have little space. the information below is from another website. Shreds up to 12 sheets per pass 9" entry width Shreds into 7/32" strips Safe for staples, paper clips, and credit cards Extra quiet The Fellowes PS60-2 paper shredder can shred up to 600 sheets per day. In addition, it can handle credit cards, staples, and small paper clips.... Read review

Advantages: Reasonaly cheap, Quick
Disadvantages: Noisy, Low volume

...I have used shredders for years. At work we have some heavy duty high security shredders which cost hundreds. At home I last owned a shredder about 5 years ago. At this time I went through 5 of them before getting my money back. They just couldn't handle a decent volume of paper. Recently I decided it was time to try again.....what with the recent increase in ID theft. Argos had an offer on the Fellowes P50CM at just over £30. As it was a cross cut shredder it provided better security than most of the other home shredders which just cut into strips. It also looks alot better with its satin silver shredder housing and matt black mesh waste bin. In use the shredder is fairly noisy and its speed slows considerably as you get to its 5 page limit. I found it better to shred 2-3 pages at a time. The shredder unit has a thermal cut out, which... Read review

Advantages: Cross-shreds items
Disadvantages: Slot to small?

...Many people think that a shredder is a luxury item, I feel that it is a necessary item. If you don't have a shredder you could be putting items with your name and address and other details into your bin which other people are raiding to find out information on you. This crime is growing in the UK and I feel people should take more notice of it. Anyway, about the product. All in all it is everything you expect a shredder to be, it shreds things. But unlike many cheap shredders it cross shreds (this means it cuts your paper into small rectangles/squares instead of long strips) this means that you can shred any personal information with the confidence that no-one else will be able to see it. Unfortunately the slot in which you feed the paper is quite small about the width of a envelope. But to counter this you have a 3-4 layer limit so... Read review

Advantages: small, compact, cross cutter shredder
Disadvantages: not suitable for the office, can't handle lots of paper

...Perhaps it is just me, but I find shredding paper incredibly satisfying! Not only is it a means of disposing confidential information but for me it feels that I am having a good Spring Clean when I shred paper. As I find it so satisfying, perhaps I have something missing in my life! I wanted a really small compact paper shredder, something that wouldn't take up too much space so I bought the Shredmate paper shredder model from Fellowes and it cost £15.99. I know that this may seem expensive for a small home shredder compared to the Supermarkets who are now selling them for around £5, but this is a cross cutter (also knows as Diamond cutter shredder) and tend to cost more. What attracted me to this shredder is the fact that it is small and compact, not one of those huge office type shredders. The Shredmate is a light duty cross... Read review
