Fellowes LX50 4

Keeping information and data secure has never been more important when everyone and their dog seems to be trying to scam you, a shredder is the best way to destroy your paper documents. The Fellowes LX50 is a high security shredder that uses cross-cut shredding and can shred up to 9 sheets at once, the pieces will come out as tiny 4 x 37 mm cross-cut particles (High security DIN P-4). This compact device measures up at H40.1 x W31 x D22 cm making it perfect for the home office, it will sit snuggly under the desk waiting to eat all your papers. The LX50 will shed nonstop for up to 5 minutes before it needs a 30minute nap to cool down, this is fine for personal use but not suited for office use. It feels solid, like it can certainly take some use, the paper shredders powerful cutters will make short work of paper but also slice through staples, paper clips and credit cards with ease. It is worth mentioning it will thank you for a little bit of oil now and then to keep everything moving as it should, Fellowes sell their own oil and all you need to do is follow the instructions. For safety there is a lock which prevents the shredder from being accidently turned on, if you do have small humans around the house, we would recommend unplugging it when not in use, we know how little hands like to play with buttons. When it comes to emptying the shredder, you don’t have to worry about doing it too often thanks to the 17litre bin, you can see through the little window as to how much paper you have in there. To empty just lift the top of the shredder off and empty into the recycling (not plastic bank cards). This is a good choice for a home shredder, its powerful, fast and quiet and gives good peace of mind that your personal information is properly disposed of. RRP £117.19
