My sister received this as a gift and has been pleased with it. It is obviously for tabletop home use, so don't expect it to be heavy-duty enough for an office.

She likes that it takes up little space on her desk and confetti shreds her private papers adequately. "It's very solid," is her comment after several months of using it.

This little shredder is the best! I've owned it for nearly 3 years now and it has NEVER jammed. I use it mainly for shredding junk mail and it works fine for my yearly file cabinet purge. Like the other reviewer said, it's not for heavy office use because it can't shred too many pieces of paper at a time and has just a 4.5" slot (just fold your papers in half lengthwise). But for home use, this is the best shredder I have ever used. When (and if) the one I have quits, I'm going to buy another one.

UPDATE: Still going strong in November 2008!

This is my second Fellowes small shredder. I dropped the first one in a move but it worked fine for four years until then. It is a perfect size to fit under my small desk at home. I didn't want a fancy one and I wanted the smallest available. I highly recommend it.

This is a small but very sturdy machine. It is compact and fits on a book shelf. I use mine nearly every day and it saves a lot of time. I highly recommend it.

This shredder adequately makes documents into confetti. I bought this item to shred bank & credit card statements and for all other documents containing information I don't want getting into the wrong hands. With so much identity theft going on, this shredder helps gives peace of mind when it comes to throwing out documents.

This device is NOT a heavy duty shredder so if you attempt to "feed" it a heavy amount of documents it will get bogged down and shut off. I tried overdoing it just to test it's limits and had no problems extracting the clogged up paper by using the reverse function.

This shredder is compact and is handling the small shredding tasks I give it without any problems.
