This product does exactly what it is intended to do. I have had this shredder for over a year now and it still works.

Pros
-Shreds paper and credit cards
-Very easy cleanup (lift off top and dump basket)
-very easy maintenance

Cons
-Does not really shred as advertised. I believe the manual claims that it can shred 8 pages of paper at a time. I have never been able to accomplish this. At the very most, I can shred 5 pages. Even at 5 pages the shredder sounds like it is going to die and sometimes does stop. I keep the machine oiled but still seems to have trouble shredding multiple pages.

Other thought
-This is no fault of the product as it is a fault of my own. I wish I would have purchased a cross cut shredder instead of this strip-cut. I use this shredder almost daily and have a lot of paper to shred. Sometimes after I shred a document, I can still "piece together" what the document said because of the strip-cut. Again, this is no fault of the product at all. I should have done more research before making the purchase.

Over all, I would recommend this shredder to anyone that has light shredding requirements (monthly bill statements, credit card apps, junk mail, etc.). If you need to shred legal or more personal documents or require multiple pages to be shredded at a time, I might look into a medium-duty shredder.
