My father bought himself a Bosch shredder for his birthday to replace an
Aldo which had served him well for about 15 years. I believe (though don't
quote me on this) it's the ATX 180 Rapid Shredder. Amazon has it for just
under £125 (with free delivery). It could have been the next model up (both
look very similar - the only difference is (as is obvious by the name) one
has a 1800W motor, the other 2000). The difference in the price is around
£50.

I'll have a look in the shed, when I fill the bird feeders in the morning,
and get you the exact details

I bought a shredder recently and based on online research I finished up with a Bosch XT 2000 HP for £200. I'm very pleased with it. It's easy to operate and is fairly quiet.

In a nutshell, It seems that if you go for the cheaper ones they work via a rather noisy cutting disk rather a worm gear and don't last as long.
