5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent product., April 9, 2005

This review is from: Royal 150MX 15-Sheet Cross-Cut Commercial Paper Shredder (Office Product)

Things that are annoying about most paper shredders:

(1) They keep getting jammed

(2) The teeth break

(3) They always need to be emptied

I purchased the Royal 150MX for light to medium home use, and it has worked very well, avoiding all of the problems I have listed. This product is on the large side but holds a lot of shredded paper as a result, I would say about 200 sheets before you need to empty it. To date I have shredded about 1000 sheets of paper without one jam, which may seem like a bold claim to someone who is used to using a paper shredder but is nonetheless true. The shredder still runs smoothly without annoying clicking or crunching sounds that cheaper shredders make when the teeth get out of alignment. The product automatically stops when the bin is full, a feature that prevents backup jams which will destroy a typical shredder.

To summarize: I am extremely happy with this product. And as a word of advice to anyone getting a shredder for the first time, IMHO, don't be afraid to over buy: get a nice shredder such as this one. It may be double the price of some cheaper models (I say this after having had serious, terminal problems with a cheaper Fellowes shredder), but it is five times as reliable. You will use the product more than you think, especially in these days with all of the identity theft going on out there. Plus, it will bring a smile to your face and remind you of Orwell every time you use your brand new memory hole.

When I ordered this shredder, I received notification from UPS that it had been "damaged in shipment." I contacted the vendor who immediately contacted UPS and found out that some hair products from the same shipment had leaked on the box my shredder was in - yet did no damage to the unit inself which was packed securely in styrofoam and plastic wrap. When the unit arrived, it worked like a charm! This unit purrs and even tells you when to empty the basket. When I questioned the vendor about maintenance and oiling, he contacted the manufacturer personally and discovered (to my delight) that no oiling, etc. was required. I received first class customer service from the vendor - and would not hesitate to do business with him again!

I finally got tired of my inexpensive shredder that was limited to 5 sheets and constantly jammmed, so I decided to look for a product that would give me no aggravation and just shred without problems. This shredder is it.

Please note that the shredder that I and the other reviewers purchased was the Royal 150MX. For some reason Amazon has pictured a much more expensive shredder above our reviews.

I use this in my home to shred all the unsolicted credit card offers that I get in the mail, expired credit cards, bank statements, etc.--bascially anything that an identity thief would like to see.

This is a heavy duty unit that is a pleasure to use since it shreds so easily. The wastebasket is large, easily removable, and designed to empty easily without spilling the shredded contents(as can happen with some cheaper shredders).

The unit looks nice and has quality construction. It is probably overkill for the amount of shredding that I do at home, but the ease of operation and lack of aggravation makes it all worthwhile to me.

The best price is currently from Costco online(they don't have it in their stores).
