I haven't filled the basket more than 3 times and it stopped working. Don't get it. Spend the money on something a little nicer.

I used this shredder about five times before it suffered catastrophic failure. It jammed often even though I never fed it more than one sheet of paper at a time. If you buy this product you won't have to worry about emptying the basket. It won't last that long.

With this Royal shredder, I have the same problems, e.g. jams, noisy sound, etc, that others already mentioned. In addition, this shredder is not safe. One day, it got jammed with cross-cut papers. When I pressed the reverse button, I heard a crack. Next thing I knew was that the cutting part cut open its plastic cover. I wish I could scan and post a picture of this broken shredder on this review so that other customers would see it.

This shredder is dangerous. It frequently jams, the "cutters" actually become misaligned, and it easily breaks. I had a paper jam and reversed the direction -- the entire top casing "popped," cracked and mangled the inside. I would definitely not recommend this shredder.

That's where this shredder belongs. It barely holds 20 pages of shredded material and it jams at least twice for every basket full. Oh yeah, you can get a desktop shredder with a full size slot at Staples for half the price.

I have owned this shredder for a few months now, and several issues have become apparent.

1. The container is small. If you shred more than 15-20 sheets you will have to empty the machine.

2. The machine is noisy. Plan on waking up the neighbors.

3. Paper will eventually get caught in the rotors and jam the machine. My machine actually pulls paper into the casing where the motor is. This has to be a fire hazard!

Overall, I would recommend that you look elsewhere for a scanner. This one is not worth the hassle.

Mine blew up in my face. Literally. Although it is 3 years old, it should not have exploded as it did. I was lucky not to be injured since it was only 2 feet from my head. Called thier 800 number and was on hold for 10 mins before they cut me off. Beware of this product...

I bought this product and within days of the 90 day limited warranty it broke. Would never recommend this product.

I bought one for myself to destroy old finanical documents. Small and compact. I want to get one for my mom but the item is backordered. If there is any negative about this product is the small feeder opening.

I have had this shredder for years. I rarely shred a whole page at a time, when I do shred a whole page; I fold it in half vertically and send it through. The unit shreds the paper with ease. It works well for small jobs. It is not designed as a heavy duty shredder. I usually tear parts of a page to shred (i.e. addresses and account numbers). I do put three seperate sections of paper (3 sheets thick) in the shredder and it works fine. I'm lazy in emptying the basket and compact it down before doing so. The cutting unit ends up having paper accumulated in it, but the unit still works. I am completely satisfied.
