Jamie, DH9 8RW

Score 10.0/10

+ Has forward and reverse switching.
Will take upto 10 sheets of A4 paper at once.
Will shred CD's & DVD's
Will shred credit cards

- Recepticle for catching shredded CD'd & DVD's is not long enough. Shredded pieces keep faling into the waste paper.
CD's & DVD's could do with being shedded more

+ CD and Credit Card disposal. Cross cut. Large waste box

- Why can't the credit cards go through the CD shredder thus preventing contamination of ordinary paper if you forget to empty it first!
