Looking after it

Empty the bin before it packs solid. Keep aerosols away from it and do not feed it metallic credit cards. If a sheet sticks, use reverse rather than pulling it out.

Cross CutSmall particles, not long strips
Credit Cards TooNot just paper
Manual ReverseBacks a jam out
Two Models6-sheet or 8-sheet

A cross-cut shredder for paper and credit cards, in a 6-sheet and an 8-sheet model.

Auto start, a manual reverse for jams, and thermal protection that stops the motor before it overheats.

A desk-side cross-cut shredder for personal use, in a 6-sheet and an 8-sheet model.

It cuts paper into small particles and shreds credit cards. The listing says small paper clips and staples can go through too.

In Auto mode it starts when you feed it and stops when the job is done.

A manual reverse backs out a jam. Thermal protection shuts it off before the motor overheats.

The 6-sheet model has a 14.4 litre bin and the 8-sheet a 15.5 litre bin. Both are black.

Cross cut is the reason to pick this over a strip-cut machine. The blades slice in both directions, so a page comes out as small particles rather than long ribbons.

Home Office Shredder

It is made for personal use beside a desk: bank statements, bills and anything else with your details on it. Credit cards go through as well. The listing says small paper clips and staples are fine, so you do not have to pick every one out.

Home Office Shredder

Leave it on Auto and it starts when it senses paper, then stops when the shredding is done. If a sheet sticks, the manual reverse backs it out. You can also use reverse to pull back a page you fed in by mistake.

Thermal protection switches the motor off if it runs past its maximum run time or starts to overheat. Let it cool, then carry on.

The two models differ in size as well as sheet count. The 6-sheet is 30.7 x 19.6 x 40cm, has a 14.4 litre bin and weighs 3.6kg. The 8-sheet is 40 x 30.5 x 42cm, has a 15.5 litre bin and weighs 3.8kg.

The listing asks for two things. Do not shred metallic credit cards, and do not spray or keep aerosol products in or around the shredder.

Not sure yet? That is fine.

You can change your mind. Irish and EU law give you 14 days from delivery, and our own policy gives you 15 days from purchase, whichever is later. Send it back unused in its packaging and we refund the price you paid and the standard delivery charge.

If it turns up faulty, damaged or not as described, that is on us. Under the Consumer Rights Act 2022 goods must match their description, be fit for their purpose and be of satisfactory quality. If they are not, you are entitled to have them repaired or replaced, or in some cases to a price reduction or a refund. We pay the return postage. Read the full detail on our refunds and returns page, or ask us anything before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many sheets will it take at once?

Six on the 6-sheet model and eight on the 8-sheet model.

What is the difference between the two models?

Sheet count, size and bin. The 8-sheet is the bigger machine and has a 15.5 litre bin, against 14.4 litres on the 6-sheet. Both are cross cut and both are black.

Is it cross cut or strip cut?

Cross cut. It slices in both directions, so paper comes out as small particles rather than strips.

Can it shred credit cards?

Yes, but not metallic ones. The listing says not to shred metallic credit cards.

Can it shred CDs or DVDs?

The listing does not say it can, so we would not feed it discs. It is sold for paper and credit cards.

Do I need to take staples out?

The listing says it shreds staples and small paper clips, so the odd one is fine. Take bigger clips out first.

What happens if it jams?

Switch to reverse to back the paper out. Do not pull at it.

How does auto start work?

In Auto mode it starts when it detects paper and stops by itself when the shredding is done.

Can it run for a long time?

Not non-stop. It shuts itself off if it runs past its maximum run time or starts to overheat. Let it cool, then carry on.

How big is the bin?

14.4 litres on the 6-sheet and 15.5 litres on the 8-sheet.

How big and heavy is it?

The 6-sheet is 30.7 x 19.6 x 40cm and 3.6kg. The 8-sheet is 40 x 30.5 x 42cm and 3.8kg. Both are desk-side machines, so they sit on the floor beside you.

What colour is it?

Black, on both models.

Is it secure enough for personal documents?

It cuts paper into small cross-cut particles, which is more secure than strip cut. That suits bank statements, bills and personal paperwork.

Is there anything I should keep away from it?

Aerosols. The listing says not to spray or keep aerosol products in or around the shredder.

Which model should I pick?

If you shred a few letters at a time, the 6-sheet is the smaller machine. If you clear bigger piles, the 8-sheet takes more per pass and has the larger bin.

How much is delivery on the Home Office Shredder?

Free on orders of €75 or more. Below that it is a flat €25, whatever you order. Nothing is added at the end.

How long will it take to arrive?

5 to 7 days after a 24 to 48 hour handling time. The handling time is the part before it leaves us and the 5 to 7 days is the delivery itself.

Is there a faster delivery option?

Not through the website. Every order goes on the same tracked service. If you need something by a particular date, email us before you order and we will tell you honestly whether it can be done.

Do you deliver across the whole of Ireland?

Yes, to every county. We are an online supplier with no shop or showroom, which is part of how the pricing works.

Is anything added at the checkout?

No. You pay the price shown for the goods plus the delivery charge, if there is one, and nothing else is added at the checkout.

Can I change my mind after it arrives?

Yes. Irish and EU law give you 14 days from delivery to withdraw without giving a reason, and our own policy accepts returns within 15 days of purchase, whichever is later. Send it back unused in its packaging; the return postage is yours, and we refund what you paid for the goods and the standard delivery charge.

What if it arrives damaged or faulty?

Tell us and we will sort it. Under the Consumer Rights Act 2022 goods have to match their description, be fit for their purpose and be of satisfactory quality, and if they are not, that is ours to fix at no cost to you. Email theteam@customersupport.care with a photograph and your order number.

Can I cancel after ordering?

Yes, free of charge until it ships. Most orders leave within 24 hours, so email us within 12 hours of ordering to be sure of catching it. Once it has shipped, your 14 days to withdraw still apply.

Do I get a receipt and a tracking number?

A receipt by email 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?

Euro. Every price on this site is the price you pay in euro, with no 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 Home Office Shredders 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.
