Looking after it
Empty the bin before it is completely full, which is when jams happen. Let the motor rest if the thermal cut-out trips rather than switching it straight back on, and keep fingers and ties well away from the feed slot.
About this product
Shreds paper and cards, and reverses when it jams.
In 6-sheet and 8-sheet capacities, with thermal protection and a bin you empty rather than a bag you buy.
A home office shredder that takes paper and credit cards, in two capacities.
The 6-sheet model has a 14.4 Litre bin and weighs 3.6 kg; the 8-sheet model has a 15.5 Litre bin and weighs 3.8 kg.
Both have a reverse function for clearing a jam and thermal protection so the motor cuts out before it cooks.
The 8-sheet model stands 42 cm tall and the 6-sheet 40 cm.
The two sizes are different prices, and the option cards on this page show which is which.

Sheet capacity is the number that matters on a shredder, and it is the number people ignore. Feeding eight sheets into a six-sheet machine is how every shredder jam starts.

So there are two here. The 6-sheet has a 14.4 Litre bin and measures 30.7 x 19.6 x 40 cm. The 8-sheet has a 15.5 Litre bin and measures 40 x 30.5 x 42 cm.

Both reverse. That sounds like a small feature and is the one that decides whether a jam is thirty seconds or an evening with a pair of tweezers.

Thermal protection cuts the motor when it gets hot. A home shredder is built for bursts rather than for shredding a filing cabinet in one sitting, and the cut-out is what stops you finding that out the expensive way.
Both take credit cards as well as paper, which is the other half of what a home office actually needs to destroy.
Still deciding?
Not sure yet? That is fine.
You can change your mind. Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 you have 14 days from delivery to cancel for any reason, and a further 14 days to send it back in resaleable condition. We refund the price you paid, including standard delivery.
If it turns up faulty, damaged or not as described, that is on us. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 covers you, we pay the return postage, and you can have a repair, a replacement or your money back. Read the full detail on our refunds and returns page, or ask us anything before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the 6-sheet and 8-sheet models?
Capacity per pass, bin size and footprint. The 6-sheet has a 14.4 Litre bin at 30.7 x 19.6 x 40 cm and 3.6 kg; the 8-sheet has a 15.5 Litre bin at 40 x 30.5 x 42 cm and 3.8 kg. They are different prices, shown on the option cards.
Does it shred credit cards?
Yes, paper and credit cards both.
What happens if it jams?
Use the reverse function, which backs the paper out. That is the feature that turns a jam into thirty seconds rather than an evening.
Can it overheat?
It has thermal protection that cuts the motor before it does. If that trips, let it rest rather than switching it straight back on.
How much can I shred in one go?
It is a home office machine built for bursts, not for clearing a filing cabinet in one sitting. Feed it within its sheet rating and give it a break when it asks for one.
How big is the bin?
14.4 Litre on the 6-sheet model and 15.5 Litre on the 8-sheet.
Do I need shredder bags?
No, it has a bin you empty. That is cheaper over time and one less consumable to run out of.
Which one should I buy?
If you shred a few sheets at a time, the 6-sheet is plenty. If you regularly feed a stapled batch, the 8-sheet saves you splitting it up, and the bigger bin means fewer trips to the bin.
How tall is it?
40 cm for the 6-sheet and 42 cm for the 8-sheet, so both fit under a standard desk.
What colour is it?
Black, both models.
Is it noisy?
It is a shredder, so it is not quiet while it is running. It is a machine you use in bursts rather than one that runs continuously in the background.
Can it take staples or paper clips?
We would not feed either in. Remove them first: it is the quickest way to avoid a jam and to keep the cutters sharp.
Is it safe around children?
Treat it as a machine with cutters, because that is what it is. Unplug it when it is not in use if there are children about, and keep the feed slot clear of hands, hair and ties.
How heavy is it?
3.6 kg for the 6-sheet and 3.8 kg for the 8-sheet, so either can be moved and emptied one handed.
How much is delivery on the Home Office Shredder?
Delivery is free on orders of £75 or more. Below that it is a flat £25, whatever you order. There is nothing extra added at the end.
How long will it take to arrive?
5-7 days, after a 24-48 hour handling time. The handling time is the bit before it leaves us, and the 5 to 7 days is the delivery itself.
Is there a faster delivery option?
Not at the moment. Every order goes out on the same tracked service, 5 to 7 days across the UK after the handling time. If you need something by a particular date, email us before you order and we will tell you honestly whether it is possible.
Do you deliver across the whole UK?
Yes, right across the United Kingdom. We are an online supplier with no shop or showroom, which is how the pricing works.
Where does the Home Office Shredder ship from?
It is shipped direct from our supplier. Either way it comes to you with tracking, and you get the tracking number by email once it is on its way.
Can I change my mind after it arrives?
Yes. You have 14 days to change your mind under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, and we extend that to 15 days under our own policy. Return postage is yours unless the item arrived damaged or faulty, in which case we cover it.
What if it arrives damaged or faulty?
Tell us and we will sort it. Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 goods have to be of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose and as described, and if they are not that is our problem to fix, not yours to pay for. Email theteam@customersupport.care with a photograph and your order number.
Do I get a receipt and a tracking number?
You get an emailed receipt as soon as payment goes through, and a second email with the tracking number once the order ships.
What payment methods do you take?
Card payments through our checkout and PayPal. Card details are handled by the payment provider and never stored by us.
What currency are your prices in?
Pounds sterling. Every price on this site is the price you pay in £, with no currency conversion at the end.
Is there a discount code?
Yes, `valued-customer` takes 15 percent off your goods at the cart. It applies to the products rather than to the delivery.
Do you have a shop I can visit?
No. We are an online supplier with no physical shop or showroom, and that is deliberate: the saving goes into the price rather than into a lease.
Can I buy several of these for an office?
Yes, and if you want more than a handful use the wholesale quote page and we will price it properly rather than making you add them to the cart one at a time.
How do I ask a question about the Home Office Shredder before I buy?
Email theteam@customersupport.care and a person will answer you. We would much rather answer a question first than process a return after.
Who are you, exactly?
Home Office Company UK, a division of Caruso Consulting Co Ltd. Our UK administration office is at 33 Queen St, London EC4R 1AP. The company details are on every legal page rather than buried.
Is my order secure?
The checkout runs over an encrypted connection and we never see or store your card number. If anything about a payment looks wrong to you, email theteam@customersupport.care and we will look at it with you.
