Thanks all. Opinion seems to firmly favour a quiet shredder, rating
"cog type" crush and cut models higher than screw type. Which means a
Bosch 2200HP, a Ryobi RSH2455 or a high end ALKO.

Price wise, the cheapest I've been able to find is the Ryobi - so
that's what I'll get, if ebay is kind to me ;-)

Incidentally, I found the following page very useful in gaining a
better understanding of the mechanisms involved:
