Rexel Rss2434 Mercury 24 Sheet Manual Strip Cut Shredder For Small Office Use (Up To 10 Users), Jam Free Sensor Technology, 34L Bin, Includes Shredder Oil Sheets, Black

Excellent product, fast, efficient and quiet

The good points are that it is not too heavy to move and has easy carry handles on the front and rear, and it is very quiet when shredding. It can also handle 10 or so pieces of paper easily but you do have to ensure the paper is pushed right down to activate the blades. It has a pullout drawer.The not so good points are it is a STRIP shredder, not cross shredder and shreds into very long strips but that is still pretty safe.The run time is not good at all, I think it states 16 minutes then has to cool down for 40 minutes so is ok if you shred as you go along or don't have a huge box to dispose of.The shredder comes with one paper bag for the shreddings which ripped as soon as I tried to remove it from the shredding bin so I ended up picking up lots of loose shreddings.The easiest way is to shred straight into the bin and empty into a large bag.I had an old REXEL Durasteel shredder and when they say, "they don't make them like they used to" they are not wrong. I had my old shredder for 20 years and it shredded a lot of paper, discs and credit cards and never put a foot wrong, unfortunately it was damaged in a flood so I have been looking for something as good as and this shredder seemed to be the best. The shreddings drawer slides out which is a much better design than the ones that you have to lift the top-heavy top off and find somewhere to lay it, then empty the bin.It is pricey for what it is but by far better than the £60 one I purchased which I needed to wear ear defenders to operate.So, in summary, a good enough shredder for home / home/office use but I am still disappointed in the run time and the bin emptying is not that easy, or mess-free.

A robust machine that shreds wads of various sized documents with ease and keeps going for ages. I filled the bin twice with continuous shredding and it didn't cut out or get jammed. The bin is easy to pull out and empty. You can get bin liners but found it easier to do without. I hadn't appreciated that security level P-2 means it cuts 0.6mm wide strips, so if you feed in a page sideways then whole lines of text are still readable. The answer is to make sure you feed in vertically, but even then if somebody was determined enough they could put the strips back together!. So it's not for sensitive material but perfect for high volume low security shredding. The wide strips also make a lot less mess than the cross-cut shredder we had before.

My wife highly rates this high capacity shredder as it only took her 2 minutes to shred my entire porn collection....Subsequently I have installed it under our letterbox and set it to automatic shredding - I haven't worried about winning a fake holiday competition or paying the gas bill for months now..

very sturdy - quite pleased so far, I use shredder also for light cardboard to add to compost

Purchased this for work a little while ago now. It is good very sturdy and does the job well. I would definitely recommend this for a small office.
