Anyhow, I know nothing about shredders so any help very gratefully
appreciated !


This may be contentious but I personally don't think shredders are a good
idea. I bought one of the more expensive electric ones, but it was a very
noisy and tiresomely slow. I got to dread standing at the thing wearing
goggles and ear defenders for two hours at a time, working through a heap of
cuttings.

However there are the so-called "silent" shredders. I bought a Viking
last year and am very pleased with it. The best thing about it is that
it doesn't have whirling cutters that get blunt quickly.
