Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Protect important information and help stop identity theft with this shredder from Royal. Designed to handle a wide range of media, the MD100 shreds paper, compact disks, floppy disks, and credit cards into unusable 3/16-by-1½-inch confetti-style pieces so you can rest easy knowing that your personal information is properly destroyed. Time magazine named the MD100 one of the coolest inventions of 2003, due to its ease of use and ability to flatten raised numbers on credit cards before shredding them, among other things.
The MD100's 8.25-liter wastebasket is made of clear plastic so you can see the remains of your shreds and know when it's time to empty. The auto start/auto stop setting lets you shred media simply by inserting it into the slot. The 5-inch slot size means that you do have to fold paper in half before shredding (up to 7 folded sheets can be shredded in one pass), but that's a small price to pay for a machine that shreds CDs and DVDs in less than 5 seconds.
The MD100 has a 9.75-by-7.5-inch footprint, fitting neatly under any desk. It comes backed with a one-year limited warranty on both parts and labor.

Great for CD's and Credit Cards, not so great for paper,

This review is from: Royal MD100 Media Destroyer 100 Paper Shredder (Electronics)
This is a great shredder if you want to destroy CDs, DVDs, and credit cards, but I'd pass if you are looking for a personal shredder to effectively destroy paper.The shredder appears to almost completely destroy CD's, leaving very, very small pieces in the catch basin. The paper shredding functionality is not nearly as good as cross-cut shredder, leaving pieces that could easily be reassembled by somebody who enjoys puzzles. In order to shred a standard piece of paper, you must fold the pages in half, and you can only shred seven pages at a time. The credit card shredding is about the same as paper, but since cutting credit cards up with scissors is even less effective, this is a good choice for that purpose.

Great for media,
This review is from: Royal MD100 Media Destroyer 100 Paper Shredder (Electronics)
Literally destroys cds, dvds and floppy disks. I was surprised when it chomped its way through the floppies, metal and all and left nothing but little pieces. As far as paper is concerned, I would use an other kind of shredder such as a confetti type as this one you have to fold the paper so it doesn't always shred in small enough pieces. If you have media to get rid of, there is no better little shredder than this. I keep it next to my computer and it doesn't take up much room so it is very handy to use.

Desktop Destroyer,
This review is from: Royal MD100 Media Destroyer 100 Paper Shredder (Electronics)
This is perfect for the desktop. It excels at destroying credit cards, DVDs, CDs and Floppy Disc. In an emergency you can use it to shred paper, including staples.
Because DVDs, CDs and Floppy Disc are dense, they lay flat, and take up very little room in the debris basket. Since paper is light, it will bunch up, filling the debris basket fast. If you do a lot of paper, you want to consider a paper shredder with a larger basket. Because it is shredding polycarbonate and metal, the feeder slot snuggly fits DVDs, CDs, and Floppy Discs. This reduces the chance of high energy debris. Do Not look into the slot while shredding. Because of the snug slot, feeding paper into the MD100 is not quick. If you want to shred less than 8 pages, but cannot leave your desk, you can use the MD100. If you want to shred more than 8 pages, or can leave you desk, it is better to use a paper shredder with a larger feed slot and a larger basket. This is also a personal shredder, if you need to shred from more than two minutes at a time (approximately 24 DVDs or CDs or Floppy Discs), you should get a commercial grade machine.
