With identity fraud currently gripping the nation it's no wonder that us Brits have become ultra paranoid about what we do with our most vulnerable information. It's no longer safe to simply put bank statements in the bin and expect your money to still be in your account the next day. A simple and cost free solution would of course be to tear up your delicate information however with fraudsters seemingly knowing every trick in the book these days is ripping your statements up by hand really the answer? Any sceptic will tell you it isn't and as you're likely to get hanged these days for burning things in your garden as everybody obsesses over global warming it ...  Read the complete review

The Fellowes P-45C is my second shredder - the first was a budget model that gave up the ghost after the warranty expired. Hence I was attracted by the 2 year warranty of the P-45C. I'm a home user, just a few pages to shred a day, but they tend to pile up to the weekend. Apart from the warranty, I liked the ability to cope with, old credit cards and documents with staples, and at least on paper, to shred up to 8 pages simultaneously.

After 18 months, I'm somewhat less impressed because I find that it keeps jamming up with paper, so I have to go in reverse for a ...  Read the complete review
