Due to physical locations of outlets and cabinet spacing, I have no

I suspect conducted but I suppose it could be radiated.

Any ideas short of moving the shredder to another room ?:-)

Get a 1:1 isolation xformer for the shredder..
It's most likely the universal motor being used and the
brushes arch in those.



Arch? You're as stupid as dimbulb. Maybe even a notch lower.


An EMI filter pulled from a junk PC power supply and installed at the
motor would do more good, since the RFI is radiated by the wiring inside
the shreader
