Is there a shredder that works?

Can anyone recommend a paper shredder that works (£ is a factor, as usual). The two I've had are great at putting rows of creases in the paper! It wouldn't take a S. Holmes to read it afterwards though. I bought a mid-price one by Fellowes. It worked very will until the missus let the basket fill up too much and it jammed from both sides of the feed mechanism. It could neither feed nor reverse. By the time I got alerted, it was knackered. Subsequent autopsy revealed that the plasic gear wheels had their teeth stripped. She bought a very cheap replacement from Tesco for about gbp10. It looked almost identical, but the performance is very poor. It hardly has the ability to deal with more than three sheets at a time and the paper sensor is so stiff, that most of the stuff which will actuate it is too tough to be shredded. |

I I've got a Rexel-90, had it for about 5 years with no problems, even cuts credit cards, one at a time. |
