Better than I expected.:
I wasn't expecting much from this shredder. I just bought it cause it was a good deal but I was impressed on how well it performed it's task. This is one mean shredder.
Not reliable - horrible shredder:
Bought this with high hopes for this shredder. It never could shred the number of regular paper it says it can. I had trouble with it getting jammed from the beginning. Don't think for once you can shred for 10 minutes straight....it cannot perform that long. I called customer support who are somewhat helpful but the minute it goes out of warranty - they won't talk to you. So if you buy and have problems, demand a return/refund and document all calls so you can explain the entire issue over the warranty... more info
Very Poor Choice or Just Bad Luck:
I purchased this shredder after reading all the wonderful reviews. When I unboxed it, plugged it in and attempted to use it, the on/off shredder button did not work. I had to manually manipulate it to go on and only for brief pulses. Unfortunately, I cannot afford the postage to send this inferior defective unit back as it weights quite heavy. I will sum it up to garbage and get a unit from a different manufacturer and not through Amazon.com At $68 plus change, not a cheap trick.
First Paper Shreader:
This is the first paper shreader I've owned. It's not fancy and it does small amounts of paper. It says it can do 8 sheets at a time but I've done max 5 sheets and it seems to struggle with that so I would not recomend doing eight sheets because it will jam. However, 2-3 sheets at a time this machine works well. It is a good shreader for common household use. I would not use this for a business or shreading a high volume of paper.
