Which should you buy?
These are the two default home-office shredders on Amazon UK. Both are P-4 cross-cut, both take staples and cards, both have anti-jam reverse. The Fellowes FS-9C is £50 and shreds 9 sheets a pass into a 14-litre bin, with a 3-minute run time before it needs a rest. The Rexel Momentum X410 is around £75, shreds 10 sheets into a 23-litre bin, and runs for longer between cool-downs.
The bin is what matters. Fourteen litres fills after roughly 120 shredded sheets — one decent clear-out — and then you're emptying confetti. Twenty-three litres roughly doubles that. If you shred a few envelopes a week and space is tight, the Fellowes is fine; for anyone with a monthly pile, the Rexel.
