Rexell Shredder

Went into the local Focus to get (amongst other things) an electric shredder. The shelf tag said £14.99 which isn't too bad. Scan came up as £9.99 which is even better. Don't know if its general or just an error at the Hastings branch.

    Nice find Peter, however - I picked up the Rexell HS70 Home Shredder today from Staples, currently selling for only £8.99! :cool:

    It's a mains powered ribbon cut shredder that can take 5 sheets at a time and has a 9-litre capacity (~60 A4 sheets).

  • As I'm about 18 miles from the nearest Staples I'm happy at £9.99 thanks.

    If this is an HS60 shredder, it is available (subject to stock) at all Focus stores at £9.99 - I saw a flyer yesterday for it :)

    Are both the HS60 & HS70 strip shredders? A cross cut shredder is much more secure.

    Edit: Just checked - they are both strip cut :(

    If you want a real bargain, go to B&Q & get a Fellowes paper shredder.... cuts paper into 3.9mm x 23mm fragments.
    Only £4.98 (stocks are limited) barcode number 0043859482078
    If you can't see them on display, ask at the service desk quoting barcode!

    Similar one in Argos sells for almost £25 !

    Is the Fellowes shredder that is on sale in B & Q cross cut?

    As it cuts it into pieces 3.9mm x 23mm - I guess so :)

    However, if its like the one in Argos, it is too small to accept A4 sheets (unless you fold them in half) :(

  • Hi I brought this shredder from B&Q before it was reduced to £4.98 and I had to take it back as it stopped working after 2 goes. Although for £4.98 I would say it's a bargain - providing it works of course!
  • B&Q also have a 10% of everything till Sunday so you can get the shredder fror £4.48 :D Just got mine so thanks.
