I bought a 10 sheet for $40. Husband says it is too small and cheesy. Is this true? Any recommendations?
TIA.
Any brands that don't require oiling?
Thanks ladies, you've convinced me to keep the small cheesy one.
Mine's about that size, maybe a little smaller. It fits my needs though I wish the basket was a little bigger.
On a side note, I realized I was shredding papers on election day. With the Oval Office model. Made me giggle a little.
My shredder is at least 10 yrs old and shreds about 5 pieces at a time.
I've had no issue. I keep a laundry basket in my office for things to shred and I shred about on e every 2 weeks.
My little shredder works great for me and our business. I would never take my items to a second location for shredding.
I raise and rescue guinea pigs and need shredded paper to mix with bedding. I actually raid the recycling bins around the business in my area for paper. I have a 7 sheet 50 buck one from Target. It works fine, I use it all day. I oil it weekly and dont let it over heat, or try to put card stock in it. Lasted a year, most of mine last about 4 or 5 months before I burn the motors out.
I have small paper shredder like that, but since I am just shredding household bills and such it is all I need. I have had it for a few years now and it does the trick. I don't need an industrial shredder!
Well he is a MAN right?
They like he-man sized things.
LOL!
No really, for me, that would be fine.
But we actually have an industrial heavy duty sized one, that we got from Costco. You can shove a lot of papers in it/thick ones too.
Tell your Husband he can get his own bigger one.
For you, that is for you that you can use.
10 sheets at a time, is more than a junk mail envelope.
Depends on how much use it would get. I think that would work fine for a home but if you shred everything in sight and work out of your home it could be insufficient. It would work for my life because I would only shred about 10 sheets a month...
Once you catch up the backlogged stuff, it will be fine. :)
If you don't shred often, you should be fine. My father in law got this massive, powerful shredder. It's bigger then a trash can! Personally, I think that is cheesy!!
The paper shredder I have been using for several years is an Infoguard that does 7-sheets, crosscut. It also has a slot for credit cards and such. I only paid $30-35 for it on sale.
I've never oiled it, but now that I'm looking stuff up, apparently ALL shredders should be oiled. Oops. Seems simple enough: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yrXvtG5lSA
