Fast, efficient, quiet Very happy with my purchase. Great addition for our household and my small biz shredding needs.Pros: It makes quick work of shredding. It’s quieter than I anticipated (MUCH quieter than my last one/diff brand). So far, even with shredding tons of stuff, it hasn’t hit an overheat phase (giving it a break every couple of minutes). Easily shreds old credit cards. I even threw in a few pieces of junk mail, envelope and all. Great little machine has pulverized everything I’ve put in it so far. I trust Amazon to stand behind their branded products.Cons: Says it can shred up to 12 pages at once; really slows down when shredding just 7 so I won’t tempt anything more at one time. Would prefer a larger bin; knew what I was getting but I’m emptying the bin far more than I anticipated. May be because it cross cuts vs. regular shredder I am used to.Overall – very happy with the product and the price.
GREAT shreader for the price! I had several file cabinets worth of shredding to accomplish over a weekend. I did not want to spend $$$ on a shredder, so I opted for this model. I was concerned that it would overheat, but it worked like a champ! I shredded about 10-12 bins worth in one day and it NEVER overheated! It did jam a few times when I pushed the 12-sheet limit, but I was able to get that resolved. I do wish the bin was larger, but overall, I am very happy with this shredder and I think it is excellent for the ~$50 price point.
Overheats easily I used this product for less than 5 minutes before it said it was overheating and that I couldnât use it for 30 minutes. The unit itself did not feel warm at all. I left it alone for 2 hours and tried again. It still said it was overheating. I did like that this shredder was compact and quieter than other shredders I have used. I wish it worked for more than a quarter of the bin, because I was really excited about it. Unfortunately I had to get a refund as I couldnât get it to work after it overheated.
