Very efficient & very, very quiet.
The only drawback we found is that if you need to shred more than a binful continuously it will stop to prevent overheating.
This is a good thing but irritating if you need more than a binful

Took delivery of this "little gem" last month, replacing my knackered and crunchy old fellowes shredder.
The rexel is of superior build and quality and much quieter than the old fellowes.
The rexel takes it's time to chew through the paper but does a worthwhile job and the antijam feature helps to prevent overload - thats what probably finished off my old shredder!
A bit on the expensive side but I'm sure a worthwhile addition to the home office.

I initially bought the Swordfish XC1000, which lasted 5 minutes before the auto-feed died. Yes, this is more expensive, but it's very quiet, compact and seems to be made of better plastics. The anti-jam feed chute is cleverer than it looks. Recommended.

Update Feb 2013: Still going strong and regularly in a lot of use as I have a home office. It just plain works!

So we just got our brand new shredder in the office.
Plugged it in and started shredding once the installations step had been followed, and after inserting too many sheets... Paper jam!
The so called "anti-jam technology" is a red light, the shredder still started to shred the sheets, far enough to create a wonderful jam that is now blocking our 1 day old shredder.
Not to mention the bin got filled up after shredding around 60 pages only...
Useless piece of equipment.
