does what I need it to...barely.:

I am not a heavy-duty shredder. In fact, just a few old bills and some junk mail. However, this shredder does not handle even those small tasks well. I am constantly having to toggle the on/off switch just to get the job done. The paper gets stuck if I try and shred two sheets at a time (8-sheet my eye!). I would've sent it back if not for the pain of repacking the whole thing. Pretty disappointing.

Disappointing second try:

Even the second unit that I bought had the same problem: 1)m the automatic feed setting failed; unless the few pages it can shred are fed in perfectly square it stops shredding.2) Putting it in reverse does not clean up entirely. 3)Removing remaining paper shreds by hand takes in inordinate amount of time and effort. 4) It also means that one have to wait for hours until the unit recovers from the reverse action. 5)The automatic feed never came back.

Multi Purpose Shredder:

This is one of the better shredders I have found for home/office use. It shreds credit cards, as well and per the suggestion of a friend, I used the shreddings to pack delicate Christmas ornaments. Hence, it truly aids in recycling.
