  I have one of these, it's excellent for casual use. Unfortunately, if you want to shred more than five sheets at a time, buying a larger model becomes more expensive extremely quickly.

      The five pages go through quite quickly, so it would be hard to fully utilise both - each machine would alternately be idle while you separate out the next five sheets for the other machine and insert them. A single person can nearly fully utilise one machine (i.e. it takes you about as long to separate out the next five sheets as it takes the machine to process them), but it doesn't scale very well. The process of preparing the sheets for the machine is slightly fiddly, as if they go in at an angle then a significant amount can bunch up at either end of the shredding input and jam. You also can't insert much more than five sheets (six is usually okay), as the machine just stops if it can't handle the volume.

      That said, I welcome suggestions for scaling my shredder strategy.

        Excellent review. I have exactly the same experience and have no solution to offer you unfortunately

        each machine would alternately be idle while you separate out the next five sheets for the other machine and insert them.

        Don't forget the low duty cycle. If you run it for 2 minutes, you have to let it cool down for 45 minutes. Officially anyway. You can probably run it longer, but the lifespan might be shortened.

        Alternating between two machines will allow it to cool down between shreds, giving you more runtime.

        @eug:

        I think the deciding factor would be whether you need to shed more than 100 pages at a time I guess.

        @smpantsonfire: I had a whole bunch of paper to shred at one go. I found an auto-feeding shredder at cash converters for around $30-40. You just stack in 50 pages and it'll shred them automatically. No need to keep feeding it manually. It costs a lot more than this $5 shredder, but the convenience was worth it to me!

        https://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/rexel-stac…

        It comes in 80 and 100 sheet versions too.

        I'm glad companies are doing paperless billing now!

    I have this shredder. It only ‘runs’ when there is paper within its feeder, so the ‘two minutes’ run time probably equates to about 120 shredded pages (5 pages per shred x 24 shreds (each shred takes about 5 seconds). It’s quite weak compared with much heavier duty and more expensive shredders; I find I have to actively hold the 5 sheets of paper vertically from above while it shreds from below, otherwise he paper tends to crumble up and not shred nicely. But overall, for an inexpensive home office shredder, it does its job well and I would recommend it, particularly for those who only shred things occasionally (e.g. weekly).

  Looks like they could'nt Flog these off at $15

  https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/395064

  i went to but one when it was $15 but alot of the display boxs had return stickers on them so i decided to to buy it.

  at $5 it seems more reasonable … but i guess you have to decide if its easier to just shred the paper by hand and that your not left with a bulky cheap looking bin you dont use

  Remember to only shred what you actually need to.

  You can't put shredded paper into your home recycling bin.

  It needs to go in green waste bin or rubbish bin.

  • 

    asa79 on 05/08/2018 - 19:01

    You cant put into Green waste either as its not green waste

      Does that mean I can't put orange peel in the green bin because it isn't green?

      Paper is organic, the green waste bin is for organic waste. You can put shredded paper in the green bin.

      Here's some fact sheets you can reference.

        prunings from shrubs and trees

        weeds

        @asa79:

        It doesn't mention paper but

        kitchen waste, including fruit and vegetable scraps

        How are fruit and vegetable scraps different to pruning from shrubs and trees or leaves?

        And you need to request and pay for a green bin?

        Cost of service
        The cost for each bin:
        Number of bins 1 x 240 litre green waste recycling bin
        Establishment fee $30
        Quarterly charge $20.98 ($83.92 per year)

        @spaceflight: it's the same at our local dump green only for green waste area. Everything else at its area. Same for green bins as they end up in green pile at dump. And this being a Qld deal not sure why you comparing nsw

        @asa79:

        I'm not comparing to NSW, one of my links was to SA and the other was NSW.

        I don't pick any state, just Google results that had a nice looking page.

        But it does seem that everywhere else in the country lets you compost paper and other sensible organics in your green bin.

  Just bought 2 from OfficeWorks Glebe.

  They marked price as $15 $19 , just bring it to checkout, and tell them it's $5 and they'll gladly accept it.

  I called ahead, and they said they have 30+ left in stock.

  There were still about twenty at Launceston this arvo. Looks like it might be the older version of this one. Sadly, no Duck packing tape.
