I have a manual one but it's bl**dy time consuming. There are plenty of reasonably priced types on Amazon yet even if they get plenty of good reviews, there are always the bad ones.


Does anyone have one at home they would recommend? Nothing industrial. Just something quite small.


Thanks.

Hi Alan

I have mine it for years .. cost about ?24.00.


Up to 5 sheets at a time but better to keep it to 3.

Ideal for Domestic use. Easy to empty out collectin box.

How dare you HMB. If you were tracking them in the Sales section you will see they were being offered free, yes FREE, subject to terms and conditions.


The author himself was on a radio documentary just a couple of weeks ago. It was about this chap...

Anyway, thanks Fox and Loz. Still haven't decided.

Doc, if you are a member of "Which?" they have only just (this month) issued their best buys for shredders. Log on for full details. Otherwise, briefly, they are the:


Fellowes 11C:

The Fellowes Powershred 11C is a very good all-rounder and a worthy Which? Best Buy. It has a spacious waste bin, takes 14 sheets at a time and is plenty secure enough. In fact, we can't think of too many negatives to speak of.


ProAction 12 Sheet 18 Litre:

We really like the ProAction 12 Sheet 18 Litre. It's secure, spacious and won't be an eyesore in your home office. We wish it was a little quieter, but there are plenty of good reasons why this is a Best Buy shredder.


Both apparently cost less than ?60.

    • So Southwark in No Overall Control? Green / LD coalition?
    • Thanks for taking the trouble to do the calculation.  To be honest, it’s never occurred to me to report it online.  I’ll have to look into it.  I’ve just spoken to the ‘helpline’ and, after listening to ten minutes of some, admittedly, not too disagreeable jazz music, eventually got through to the call centre.  After a lot of to-ing and fro-ing, during which the operator was clearly reciting from a script, the essential question of why I continue to be billed by the RV method, despite their insistence on fitting a meter three years ago, went unresolved.  At first they couldn’t confirm whether I had a meter at all (not their department) but then agreed that I do have one but that it’s ’inactive’ (despite clearly recording usage as detailed above). I was told to contact the ‘meter department’ separately on a different number (Mon-Fri only) and was then asked if I wanted to sign up for various ‘pensioner’ benefits, none of which I understood (probably because I am a pensioner) before being asked to provide ‘feedback’, which I politely declined.  Looking forward to listening to some more jazz on Monday morning though.
    • That would be 78.231 m3, that is 78,231 liters.  The average water consumption per person in the UK is around 141 liters per day I believe.  So I'd say you're doing very well 👍 Have you tried to report your reading online?
    • Apart from potentially saving money (which TBF is more likely if there are fewer people living in your home) it is better for the environment to have a  water meter,  as you have an incentive to use less water. But roll on the re-nationalisation (is that a word?) of the water companies, before our green and pleasant land is covered with raw sewage. And so that the money from our water bills goes to improve the infrastructure rather than lining the pockets of already rich people. Vote Green! Ooops sorry, that's another thread.
