**Why Shred?** When I was younger (and I'm only 30 now!) no-one really shredded their personal stuff, they either kept it, made do with scribbling with a biro, or just hand ripped things up. But now, with the internet and cyber fraud and identity theft a very real thing and not just something from the movies, it's better to be safe than sorry and it's always a good idea not only to shred your personal documents when disposing of them, but it's better to scatter the shreddings between two or three bins / bin bags too. Early shredders were just ribbon style (ie, they shredded an A4 sheet into about 30 ribbons) but wily thieves found these easy to put ...  Read the complete review

==Introduction== Since turning eighteen two years ago and going into full time employment I started to get alot more important, confidential documents including wage slips and bank statements and they were starting to mount up at home, I knew it wasn't an option just to throw them in the bin so decided that it was time to invest in a paper shredder. Working at Tesco, while on my lunch break I decided to go and check out what shredders they had on offer an went for the Tesco value shredder as I didn't want nor need a fancy shredder just one that was going to shred my confidential information. I paid £8 for this product. ==About the product== The ...  Read the complete review

Although the shredder I am reviewing is the Tesco Value one, mine is slightly different to the picture Dooyoo are showing. In this day and age a shredder is a must for most of us. Identity theft is unpleasant and very upsetting. Its happened to a member of my family and the after effects are not very nice. When we moved into our house we were given an old shredder that limped along for 3 weeks before eventually giving up and shuddered to a halt. With money being tight we looked around for a new one and opted for a Tesco Value Shredder, my parents had had one for several years and it seemed good enough to do the job. The shredder comes ...  Read the complete review

About a year ago, I had to buy a paper shredder for work - and because we didn't really need an all singing all dancing industrial style shredder so I opted for a Tesco Value Shredder than I bought from TescoDirect for the very reasonable price of 9.14 (which included post and packaging). The shredder itself is very basic looking and simple and I guess it does look fairly "cheap". It's made of opaque black plastic and is fairly light and compact. It does have a 7L capacity which I imagine would be an adequate for light office purposes and for most domestic use. It certainly was adequate for my needs and we only needed to empty it about once a week. ...  Read the complete review

I work from home and have a lot of paperwork to get through as well as the household bills to manage and I find that I accumulate stacks of paperwork, doing my own accounts and filing I usually have to have three copies of each document, one for the tax man, one for my accounts and one for my files. The paperwork mounts up and every now and then I have to go through it and get rid of the files, documents and old paperwork, but with security always first on my mind when it comes to puting my paperwork in the bin. I decided to buy a shedder as I don't want my details to just end up in the bin where they may be found, shredding gives me piece of ...  Read the complete review
