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)."I am not Geoff Vadar, I'm Darth Vadar"0 -
As I'm about 18 miles from the nearest Staples I'm happy at £9.99 thanks.I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0

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 if by magic... the shopkeeper appeared."0

Yes,the shredder on sale at B&Q is a cross-cut shredder and looks the same as the one in Argos....a bargain at £4.98 !Love is GRAND..........Divorce is 100 GRAND!0

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!0

B&Q also have a 10% of everything till Sunday so you can get the shredder fror £4.48
Just got mine so thanks. 0
