Excellent shredder - but don't plan on long shredding sessions!:
I really love this shredder, and the only reason that I am not giving it 5 stars is that it does not run for more than about 5 minutes without overheating. That's with heavy use. Having said that, the features and performance are amazing. The micro-shred is fantastic - I'll never go back to a cross-cut shredder.

Great Product!:
I love this shredder. It's well built. You can move it easily because it has rollers. It's quiet. I am a very satisfied customer.
Quiet and secure:
This paper shredder cuts paper into shreds 1/4" long and 1/16" wide. That means a piece of 8 1/2" x 11" paper turns into 5,984 micro cut shreds.

Very Good for that price:
I was looking for a quiet, robust shredder that can shred documents into very small pieces (so that you cannot identify any numbers). After browsing and realizing that you can easily spend $500 to $1,000 I decided to go with this model and I wasn't disappointed.
It's quiet, robust and handles medium volumes in our small office. The quality is sound and it produces tiny pieces of confetti that are absolutely secure.
