In my neighborhood, your garbage is examined by dumpster divers like CSI on a fresh crime scene. I don't think they all necessarily want your credit card statement, BUT it is unnerving to watch all those credit card offers with your name on it go in the same sack as a bank statement. All you need to do is watch the same garbage can for a while and you get enough info - credit card numbers, old bank statement, mother's maiden name - to open a new account.

So I bought the cheapest shredder I could find -heck, I'm not Enron/the government/a tobacco company! I don't need the heavy duty stuff!

And it stunk. No power, no capacity and messy.

I bought this one and I'm thrilled. Relatively cheap, fast, built-in basket for waste and can go right through old bank statements. I think this is the right model for the adult who doesn't want to pay for a pro model, but just doesn't want someone charging crack on a fake Visa card.

I've had this shredder for about 1 1/2 years now. It shreds ok, don't put more than 3 sheets in at 1 time. The cross shredding works, but seems to make the strips catch back into the roller at times. The unit will jam sometimes with 3 pages or less. For the price, I would look at other shredders in it's class before purchasing again.

We've had this shredder ~1.5 yrs - light use (credit card offers, cc receipts, cards). It worked fine, but the largest nylon gear inside stripped. Replacement would be rediculously easy, but replacement parts are not available.

The shredder is fine, but I wouldn't purchase again for lack of service or replacement parts. I wager the gear that failed for me is 70% of all failures for this model.

I am very pleased with my purchase of this product.It is smaller in size than I had expected, but now that I am using it on a regular basis I love it-Fits right under my desk,out of the way yet easy to feed paper into it. It is very quiet even when shredding. The previous shredder was a Cross cut and bulky to handle for me, and what a mess to empty the basket This model is so easy for me to empty. I am an older citizen and use this for my own personal use.The next one I buy will be the same-I have reccomended this model to friends.

This Paper Shredder has worked flawless since we have purchased it. A good buy at the price.
