Ryman MC21 Cross Cut Shredder
by Bolly81 With cases of fraud being on the increase and criminals having no issue with raking through piles of rubbish to uncover your personal details I tend to be a bit of a compulsive shredder. Anything and everything that comes through the door that displays so much as my names goes through the machine. Maybe slightly excessive I know, but ... better safe than sorry. This may also explain why I have worn out 3 shredders in the last couple of years. When my last shredder gave up the ghost my Mum gave me this one, she had bought it for her office but it wasn't quite heavy duty enough so she passed in on to me thinking it should be fine for home use. It most homes it may have been perfect, but for me it was verging on useless. Firstly I found that it didn't really like it if you put any more than one or two sheets through at a time (my last ones could take up to 7 or 8 in one go) I suppose this isn't a problem if you are just getting rid of the odd bank statement, but as I said in this house everything goes. Secondly I had problems with it jamming all the time, even when there was only one sheet going through, it just seemed to get bunged up and didn't want to run anymore and when you looked at the blades there was little bits of paper stuck all through it meaning you had to pick them out before it would go again. This I found highly irritating. Granted I may have only used this machine once or twice but it was such an ordeal that I gave up and went out and bought one which was a bit more heavy duty, so this one has now been consigned to the back of the cupboard 'in case of emergencies'. If you only need this for very light use and don't mind unclogging it constantly then I'm sure it's fine but would I recommend it? Probably not. Read the complete review |

Ryman MS-500M Cross Cut
by NotMyToothbrush We used to have a standard (Non cross) shredder which we had used for about 10 years before buying this shredder last year. We decided on getting this one purely because it had cross cut and it was cheaper than the Bulldog shredders which do seem to be the best on the market (Most advanced) - we wanted extra security when shredding ... documents such as bank statements and so on. Setup of the shredder was simple. Stick the lid on the bin and plug it in (Hey, that rhymed!). It was that simple. Once we had done that we could put multiple sheets, we usually do about 5 at a time and it handles it well, in the top of the shredder and it quickly shreds the sheets into multiple confetti-like pieces before our eyes. It only takes a second or two to cut its way across an A4 piece of paper which is it's size limit. It can also cut any paper smaller than A4 too in less time. The bins capacity is surprisingly large, this is greatly aided by the cross cut which packs the pieces even tighter together and means that I do not have to empty it anywhere near as often as my old shredder which actually had a similar sized bin. I find that shredders, due to having all of its real components at the top, to be top-heavy and unstable - leading to them being easily knocked over, especially when full. This shredder undoubtedly is still top-heavy but it still has decent stability and I haven't knocked it over yet. The shredding blades are covered by the plastic casing so that only paper can fit down it, so you needn't worry about children or animals getting pulled in through their curiosity. However as a precaution I always switch it off at the wall when I'm done. Read the complete review |

Ryman MC21 Cross Cut Shredder
by askmeanything Ryman shredder is excellent for a small amount of paperwork. After a while a safety feature responds and the machine refuses to continue. This is not for an office but for a household. It is perfect for shredding things that you don't want others to see such as bank statements, documents and letters with personal details on. In this day ... and age shredding personal details is essential. Criminals search through private bins seeking your name and address. These simple details can be enough for fraud to be committed, such as ordering from catalogues in your name but with just a bit more information and someone could access your bank account. A criminal can find out all about your interests and habits if you leave material for them. And for those of you who have something more to hide, you really need a good shredder. This is useful for innocents who just want to protect themselves from crime but also those of you who unhappily have to dispose of evidence that could place you into difficulty if found. The shredder is quite large. It looks to be about nine and a half inches high and approximately six and a half inches along with a depth of around five inches. The top and base is of a thick and solid feeling black/grey plastic. The body is made up with a wire criss-crossing mesh. I think it's as heavy, when empty, to lift as a kettle full with water. However, I have no reason to move it around. It remains stationary and close to a socket ready for plugging in when required. The lid lifts off from the top of the shredder but if you have difficulty raising heavy objects than this is not the machine for you. Once in a while, the shredder must be emptied. To do this the lid must be taken off the mesh. It is very easy to do this. Inside it looks just like a wastepaper basket. If the paper is A4 it has to be folded over. Its manufacturing capacity does not reflect reality. I can only shred two A4 pages together at a time. Add just a third and the paper jams. In operation it makes a terrible whirring noise. The problem with this is that the whirring sound is very loud, ridiculously loud - I think car engines are usually quieter! I suspect it disturbs the next door neighbour with the sound travelling through the party wall. I always shred in the daytime when they are least likely to be bothered by it. The shredder cuts the paper up small enough for the words to be indecipherable. I've had manual shredders, so useless that the paper can be taped back together again, and all the private information read. The manual shredders have always been useless for me. Therefore, as this is my first time of switching to an electric shredder, I am impressed with how well it sheds. I do suspect that there will be better shredders on the market in terms of less noise, greater thickness of paper capacity and for shredding much more at one time. For a first time relatively inexpensive shredder I'd recommend this only if you need to make a quick purchase as it does shred very well. Read the complete review |
