About this product
The ProAction 10 Sheet Cross Cut Shredder provides secure document disposal for small office environments. This cross-cut shredder handles up to 10 sheets of A4 paper at once, cutting them into small pieces for DIN level 3 security. It's not just paper - it also shreds credit cards and CDs or DVDs, making it a versatile choice for disposing of sensitive materials. With a shredding speed of 2.2m per minute and a 220mm throat width, it processes documents efficiently.
The 21-ls waste basket means less frequent emptying, so you can focus on work rather than maintenance. It fits neatly under a desk or in a corner without taking up valuable office space. The cross-cut mechanism offers better security than strip-cut alternatives, and it handles everyday office shredding tasks with ease. It's backed by a 1-year manufacturer's guarantee for reliable performance.

Reliable shredder with good capacity and cross-cut security. Performs well for home use, shredding paper, cards, and CDs. Some find it noisy or struggling with 10-sheet loads. Heavy but efficient and durable.

Very good machine, good shredding capacity.

OK, but not great.
Bought on the strength of a Which review for its sister model of lower shredding capacity. Claims 10 pages, but it does depend on the thickness of the paper. I assumed that as this is the next model up, it would accept staples (as the cheaper one does), but sadly it doesn't. My fault for making assumptions. I had hoped with the increased paper shredding capacity would come better cardboard shredding, but sadly not. I assumed the feeder opening would be wider with increased capacity, but anything more than the thinnest cardboard simply won't feed through. But it is an improvement on my old shredder, as I don't have to sort through the papers so much to ensure I don't clog up the machine. Top part of shredder (ie the machine itself) is quite heavy, noticeably more than my previous model.

Excellent shredder
This shredder has been excellent so far. It has happily done a lot of shredding with no problem. Very happy with my purchase.

Shredding and Capacity
So far am very happy with the shredder. As long as you follow the guidelines and don't feed more than 10 sheets at once, works fine.

I hope this helps
Thanks for using Q&A
Mine has overheated and cut out 4 times since purchase this afternoon. It is taking more than 30mins to restart. Runs about 15 mins before stopping and struggles to cut 10 A4 sheets so only feeding 5 or 6 at a time. It is very hot in the house which does not help but this will probably be returned to store tomorrow
Hi Jaybee,
I can advise that this Cross Cut Shredder has a duty cycle time of 2 minutes. If it overheats, it has a safety cut out time of 30 minutes.
