Mozzer SCFC

The SAS of the shredder world

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 13, 2015

This review is based on the first 3 weeks use.............

I have been after a new shredder for a while now as my old one had decided that life was just way too hard and it was now the time to take early retirement, I read all the reviews and decided to take a gamble and spend a little more than I usually would for a shredder so I purchased the Rexel Prostyle+ 12 sheet version and so glad that I did, my old shredder was definitely designed for the offices of our local council as after 4-5 minutes actual graft it decided that work was not a full time occupation and it was time for a 15 minute rest before it wanted to continue to work again for 4-5 minutes before again taking its well-earned rest.

So step forward Sargent "Rexel" Prostyle+ 12 sheet, this beauty is the special forces of the shredder world, no job is too tuff and if you keep the feed going it will obliterate everything in its path with an attitude associated with our fore fathers stiff upper lip etc., I had piles of shredding to do so I fed it in twos continually two after another for around 20 minutes, this power house kept going and would have gone for longer without overheating if I had more paper work for it to eat, the bin is large and spacious and very easy to remove, there is a smaller separate bin clipped on top and inside the main bin, this is to catch the bits of shredded DVD so that they do not mix with the shredded paper, obviously this is to help the sandal and candle tree hugging crowd who have now moved on from campaigning against nuclear missiles to extreme recycling as their chosen occupation or hobby in life.....although shredding Credit cards does mix with the paper so if life is really that boring for you there is the task of picking out 100s of little pieces of plastic from the thousands of pieces of paper.......a bit like a jigsaw in reverse really, look at it like buying a mobile phone and finding the games section, it’s not really what you bought it for but a little Brucie bonus thrown in.

Although there may be cheaper shredders on the market this is a great little tool to have in the house if identity theft is a concern, the price stated £329 but it was on sale for £80 giving a saving of £249, in all honesty it is probably worth the sub £100 price tag but definitely nowhere near the £329, do yourself a favour and do not bother with the local authority designed shredders spend a little extra and buy this SAS bad boy it is definitely up for the job around the home.

never like products that are used carefully but made to last just a few months outside of warrranty.

Rexel motor on this is just poor.

Sehr solide und sein Geld wert

Den Prostyle+ von Rexel nutze ich überwiegend für mein Heimbüro. Dort fallen zur Zeit einige Ordner an, deren Inhalt es datenschutzgerecht zu zerkleinern gilt.
Bei der Auswahl des für mich richtigen Geräts bin ich natürlich zunächst auch bei Geräten der 30,-- bis 50,-- Euro Klasse gelandet und habe mich am Ende für den Prostyle+ entschieden, weil dieser in seine Bewertungen nirgendwo gnadenlos durchgefallen ist.

Das Gerät ist aus aus bruchfestem Kunststoff hergestellt und vermittelt einen soliden Eindruck. Darüber hinaus macht es auch optisch etwas her. Super gelöst ist der herausziehbare Behälter mit einem Sichtfenster an der Front, welches einem sofort sichtbar einen vollen Behälter signalisiert. Ebenso durchdacht ist der einhängbare Behälter für Plastikkärtchen.
Der Behälter ist ausreichend groß, muß aber bei der Vernichtung ganzer Ordnerinhalte mehrfach geleert werden.

Begeistert hat mich das Schneidwerk in Verbindung mit dem starken Motor. Als ideale Menge haben sich 6-8 Blätter ergeben. Diese werden mühelos und ohne hörbare Anstrengung zerkleinert. Größere Mengen würde er sicher auch noch schlucken, dann aber mit mehr Anstrengung. Wärmeprobleme beim Motor habe ich nicht festgestellt. Selbst nach 2 Stunden Nutzung, sicherlich mit kleinen Unterbrechungen, war der Motor gerade handwarm und von einem Hitzestop jedenfalls meilenweit entfernt.

Fazit: Der Rexel Prostyle+ liegt zwar für den Privatgebrauch eher im oberen preislichen Gefüge jenseits der 100,-- Euro Grenze, ist aber jeden Euro wert. Dieses Gerät hat das Zeug dazu, lange seine Dienst zu tun. Ich kann ihn uneingeschränkt empfehlen.

Excellent appareil de destruction, peu bruyant enfin moins que l'autre que j'avais avant, ET SURTOUT hyperpratique avec son tiroir pour le vidage du contenu. Je recommande cet achat, un peu plus cher que d'autres marques mais finalement très beau par son design moderne, efficace et pratique. J'ai commandé avec les feuilles pré lubrifiées et l'huile aussi sur conseil des clients Amazon car trop peur d'abîmer ce nouveau destructeur comme ça a été le cas avec mon ancien de marque Fellowes qui était beaucoup moins pratique.

Sehr gute Verarbeitung, sehr gute Schneideleistung und ansprechendes Design. Ich bin sehr zufrieden. Sehr praktisch ist auch der herausziehbare Papierbehälter, durch den die Leerung des Schnittguts wesentlich einfacher ist.

Rexel at its best-so far

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 22, 2014

Over the past years I've has two rexel shredders, which have both been marvellous and this one is no exception! I wore the first one out through use, the second was just as good but decided to change for cross cutter, so chose Fellowes, which lasted 6 months! this time I've gone for the Rexel ProStyle + Cross Cut top notch shredder after reading reviews and watching The Gadget show video which put it at the top of all the shredders! and so far they're right.

I only got it yesterday but had quite a bundle of paper to shred and it did it without any problems. It's the quietest shredder I've had, plus it's cutting heads are lower in the main part, so saving fingers getting caught. As yet I haven't shredded any discs or cards so can't comment on that bit, but can't see any problems in that area either. This Rexel ProStyle + is well built and looks very smart, infact the photo doesn't do it justice.
If there is a downside it's, as has been previously mentioned, the shredded paper can overflow/drop into the back of the drum when emptying, but as it's such a small thing and can be brushed/removed by hand, it can be ignored.

Yes, I can thoroughly recommend this stylish looking machine.

Je l'utilise depuis un an maintenant sans aucun problème. Je suis un particulier donc pas d'utilisation intensive (4 à 5 fois par semaine pour quelques feuilles). Très fonctionnel et simple d'utilisation, j'appuie sur le bouton carré central et je passe mes feuilles toutes ensemble puis j'appuie à nouveau sur le même bouton et c'est terminé. Idem pour la destruction des cartes solides. Le regard permet de voir si le bac doit être vidé, il est de bonne contenance. Très bon matériel à acheter les yeux fermés. Je suis très satisfait.
