Any recommendations for purchase of a paper shredder and which to avoid

For something worthwhile in terms of security, a crosscut is
necessary.

The strip ones are worthless.

Thanks for your help.
I decided to buy a crosscut and bought one for £15 from Tesco. As I am only
a small user this model suits me fine. Operation is slick.
Thanks again to all who contributed.

One more piece of advice. Don't shred things immediately you think
you've finished with them, because sod's law says you'll want to refer
to one of them a little while later. I toss them into a plastic crate,
and when the crate is nearly full I shred the lower half.

Ah yes, and make sure that there is not an important piece of paper
sandwich in the rubbish, sighs, he speaks from sad experience!
