Got this for Christmas and will be returning it. It's rated for 10 sheets, but struggled with 6, and jams up constantly, even when feeding one sheet at a time.

I bought this paper shredder about four years ago for about $40.00. It stopped working altogether about a year and a half ago. I would normally shred no more than two sheets at a time. The paper would get jammed in it occasionally, though it wasn't anything major. The real problem was when I'd shred credit cards. The credit card would go through the slot very slowly and usually stop halfway through. The plastic would stay jammed inside the shredder gears and I would have to pick out the little pieces by hand in order for the credit card shredder to function again. Using the "reverse" switch, then forward ("auto") again would sometimes get the plastic to come out easier, but usually it just complicated matters. Now the entire unit doesn't work anymore. I guess the gears are burned out.

If you want a paper shredder that lasts, try a more expensive one. You get what you pay for.

I bought this same shredder & I dont know what ChickenLady is talking about. the shredder is only rated for 3 sheet folded in half. Id be impressed if she could fit 6 sheets in the hole much less 10. I had the shredder for about 3 years and it got some heavy duty use. I constantly used it for extended periods of time even though it is only supposed to be used fr 1 min and then set for 15. Finally it gave out one day when I was shredding for about 10 min and then I put a credit card in and I think it melted the card. After that it started to jam and finally stripped the gears. I would definitly recommend tis shredder, it was cheap and it cuts the paper into small pieces unlike a strip shredder.
