Rexel Momentum X308 Cross Cut Paper Shredder, Shreds 9-8 Sheets (70-80 gsm), 15 Litre Bin, Heavy Duty, Black, 2104570

Excellent, very quiet shredder. We wanted a small shredder as we have limited space in which to keep it. The Rexel X6 fits the bill admirably with only the slight disadvantage that it has to be emptied a little more often. It really is very good value for money and shreds beautifully.

Quick del works well good quality for the price

Good value as a shredder but a word of warning: the body has to go a specific way round on the bin to work. Having used it heavily for a big shredding session (during which it cut out a couple of times to avoid overheating - understandable), I emptied the bin and replaced the body. Unfortunately I did it the wrong way round without realising - although it doesn't sit perfectly, it does so nearly enough not to be noticeable if doing so from above. Result: no lights and no operation. Leaving it for a while had the same result. I tried testing the fuse; same result. Eventually I realised what I had done, and all is fine. I suggest it is a design flaw that there is no warning light that although the shredder is switched on, it cannot operate because it hasn't been place properly on the bin. The manual also needs to be clearer that the window side of the bin must be facing forward.

I wanted a decent shredder for home use as we have a lot to shred. This thing is perfect for that. It's bigger than a standard shredder but not as big as it looks in the photo so don't let that put you off if it's for home. Lightweight, easy to use.

The seller is faultless here - arrived really quickly and no problems. I'll explain. I looked for a shredder that could handle multiple sheets, and by somebody I had heard of. This Rexel shredder says it can manage 10 sheets - pretty good I thought.If you have a few sheets of A4 or smaller you want shredded, it's fine. I'd got a box of old documents - about the same size as the box the shredder came in. Some on A4 photocopier style paper, but quite a bit on thinner invoice type paper. First thing I noticed was that 6 sheets of A4 made it struggle - badly. OK, maybe 10 was optimistic, but half this quantity seems hard work. One major snag is it clogs really easily. If it detects the speed is dropping due to motor load, it stops and reverses - trying to clear a blockage (even if there isn't one) - this forces the slit paper back to the entry slot where it jams solid. The reverse action stops, and you cannot insert another sheet of paper because the slot is jammed solid with offcuts. the only solution - and none of this is in the manual - is to poke out the jammed paper from the top. As a result, two hours after delivery the slot is scratched and worn, making it look years old. Once the slot is clear you can shred some more. Then the red overheating light comes on, so that's 30 minutes before you can use it again.I found one or two sheets at a time is the only way to use it. Oh - and don't forget to keep checking the bin, because if you don't, the rising shredded paper then jams the shredding blades. If you lift the head off, you need to reposer up before you can continue for safety reasons.If I only needed to shred a few bits of paper, it copes, but if you have a bin full to shred, this is a terrible shredder. Nowhere near the 10 sheets claimed and very low power motors. It constantly reverses and tries to clear itself. Two hours was enough to make me realise it's just a very poor designed product and I'd recommend avoiding it. Sixty pounds is way over the top for such a poor product. Not remotely useful for even a small office. Sorry Rexel - but this is a terrible, over hyped product. 10 sheets? Really!

Sadly not as good as I would have expected from a well known shredder company, it was regularly oiled as per instructions but after a few months began to clog up in the shredder teeth, cleaning it out was needed, then it began to jam at every shred, I found that the teeth had worn and this had allowed them to move across leaving gaps, the shredder was consigned to the scrap.

Excellent home shredder for the money.I like the window in the bin,so you can see when it's full.Quality excellent at a decent price.Overall very pleased, would recommend.
