First impressions are pleasing. Nothing to complain about. Functions as stated. Fan cooled to help prevent overheating. I would say that the number of sheets capacity claimed by the manufacturer would depend entirely on the weight of the paper (gsm). Seems happiest with around eight sheets maximum of 90-100 gsm paper. Paper feed is nicely controlled and the main feature for the user is the huge capacity bin. This slides out and is easy to empty. Ran the machine flat out for some time with no sign of overheating. So far so good.

I have been using this for shredding documents, Birthday and Christmas cards, thin cardboard, multiple sheets of paper and CD's. I've had it running flat out for hours, and I'm seriously impressed with this machine. Worth every penny I paid for it. Highly recommended.

Product Description
Duronic Paper Shredder PS991
Identity theft is a major concern, both online and offline, with an ever-growing number of UK consumers becoming a victim of identity fraud at some time in their lives. If a thief obtains your personal details, they can open bank accounts, take out credit cards, apply for loans, apply for state benefits, order online, make in-store purchases, take out mobile phone contracts and even apply for identity documents such as a passport or drivers’ licence in your name.
Don’t allow this to happen. Take action now and protect yourself and your employees or loved ones from identity theft by ensuring all of your bills, letters - anything with your personal details on - gets shredded properly before being thrown away.
Ripping paper up isn’t good enough as it is easy for a thief to put the pieces back together again, but shredding the documents with the PS991 shredder will cut them into small 39x4mm pieces.
The Duronic PS991 is ideal if you have high amounts of paper to shred; if you have a larger office or home office. It’s durable, strong and able to plough through piles of papers to get the job done.
Things to Consider When Choosing a Shredder
It is important that you get the right shredder to suit your needs. There are several important factors that you should consider before purchasing one:
- Purpose: Do you need it for home, a small office or a larger office?
- Security: How high security do you need it? Choose from cross-cut for general shredding or micro-cut slicing up sensitive documents.
- Usage: How often will you be using it? Do you want or need a larger bin to hold more and not need to empty as often?
- Capability: How much paper do you want to be able to shred in one go?
- Location: where do you want to place it? On a table? Under it? On the floor standing proud in the middle of an office, or in a tight cover in a small space.

Cross Cuts into 28x4mm PiecesIn line with the recent implementation of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), businesses and anywhere that holds sensitive data are under greater scrutiny when it comes to disposing of personal data. With the PS991 shredder this isn’t a worry as it will efficiently cut through paper into micro pieces, ensuring that if your disposed documents get into the wrong hands, they will never be able to be put back together again by the thief. |
Forward, Reverse and Auto FunctionsLike all shredders, this model has an on/off power switch, auto function, forwards function and backwards function (to help in the event of a paper jam). It has an opening of 22cm which is suited for A4 paper. It also has an LED power light to indicate when the machine is ready to use. |
Extra Large 31 Litre BinThe jumbo sized 31-litre bin can be used daily without having to be emptied after each use. Thanks to the transparent plastic design you can easily see when it is ready to be emptied. Don't forget to recycle your waste paper when you dispose of it! |

Power & Run TimeBuilt with an impressive 580W motor, this shredder will power through tasks with ease. With the best run time of all of our models, this shredder will run 20 minutes on / 40 minutes off. This run time cycle is a safety feature to preserve the motor and prevent it from overheating. |
Shreds 18 Sheets at a TimeAble to shred both paper and credit cards, this shredder will help you safely dispose of all your unwanted private documents. It can cross-cut up to 18 pages of A4 paper, 1 CD/DVD or 1 credit/debit card at a time. |
Size and DimensionsPerfect for larger offices or business, this larger shredder is big enough to collect shreddings for several days before needing to be emptied. Although it is a biggest model, it can still slide underneath a desk so it can be tucked away when not in use. |

Very pleased with the shredder, considering what it is doing, I find it quiet and it can certainly manage 18 sheets of paper with one caveat. This because it is essentially made for the US market with their narrower paper size - I do doubt it would manage 18 sheets of A4. Nine would be OK as you need to fold the papers first. I did hesitate posting this review as it is hard to believe that I am the only (fool) one to notice - am I really? Anyway one star deducted as a result.Having had contact with Mia at Duronic I can now add the missing star! There is another place to insert paper (see attached image). So glad I doubted myself in the initial post - perhaps some arrows on the yellow sticker would have made clear, even to me!
