Rexel Optimum AutoFeed+ 300X Cross-Cut Paper Shredder (300-Sheet Auto-Feed)
The Rexel Optimum AutoFeed+ 300X is a cross-cut office paper shredder that loads and shreds up to 300 sheets automatically in a single load, plus up to 10 sheets through its manual feed slot. It's built for offices and businesses that shred paper in bulk regularly, not just the odd document.
How it works
Open the lid, fill the hopper with your stack of paper, and close it — the 300X feeds and shreds automatically while you walk away and get on with other work. A 4-roller feed system with Auto Jam Reverse clears jams automatically if the rollers catch, so you're not stuck pulling paper out by hand.

Why choose the 300X
This is a walk-away shredder, not a stand-and-feed one — Rexel states its AutoFeed+ range can save up to 98% of the time you'd spend hand-feeding a standard shredder, since you load once instead of feeding sheets one by one. For a business shredding invoices, statements, or client files in batches, that's the difference between a 5-minute job and a task that ties someone up for half a morning.
What does "AutoFeed+" mean on this Rexel shredder?
It means you load a stack of paper and close the lid — the shredder feeds and shreds it automatically, no manual feeding required.
How many sheets can the Rexel Optimum AutoFeed+ 300X shred at once?
Up to 300 sheets automatically, or up to 10 sheets manually for quick single jobs.
Is the Rexel Optimum AutoFeed+ 300X quiet enough for an open-plan office?
Yes — it runs on an induction motor rated at 55dBA, quieter than most standard shredders.
What happens if the shredder jams while auto-feeding a large stack?
The 4-roller feed system with Auto Jam Reverse clears jams automatically, without you opening the unit.
How do I use the Rexel Optimum AutoFeed+ 300X?
Open the lid, load paper into the hopper, close the lid — shredding starts on its own. Use the manual slot for smaller jobs.
Will this shredder fit under a desk?
No — at 806 x 415 x 465mm and 22kg, it's a freestanding floor unit, not a compact under-desk model.
How is the 300X different from smaller Rexel Optimum AutoFeed+ models, like the 50X?
The model number reflects auto-feed capacity — the 300X takes up to 300 sheets per load, suiting higher-volume offices.
How much time does an auto-feed shredder actually save compared to manual feeding?
Rexel states its AutoFeed+ range saves up to 98% of manual feeding time — a manufacturer estimate, not a tested guarantee for this unit.
