4.0 out of 5 stars gets the job done! October 26, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase
Hi,

This shredder is a great value for the price. Ordered on Oct 20th and received 5 days later; amazon shipping is the best as always. See below for pros and cons:

Pros:
*Attractive looking design--mesh bin, silver color
*Simple, functional layout--slider on top to choose operation i.e. reverse, off, auto and forward.
*Does not over-heat, used for 2 hrs, non-continuous--meaning I spent time checking mail so that allowed cooling time, etc
Machine has auto off feature which will shutdown if it runs non-stop for more than 2 minutes. however this shouldn't be a concern as we all look through our mail first.
*small profile, can fit perfect under any desk
*can recycle grocery bags instead of purchasing "shredder bags" and even with just mesh bin, unit didn't leave dust or small paper debris all over the place. which is nice!

Cons:
*will jam if envelop is too thick
*No dedicated credit card slot like some units have, but will devour any credit card (^_^) just put it in through the middle

Overall, I am 100% satisfied with unit. It gets the job done, protecting us from identity theft. You won't go wrong purchasing from Amazon.com enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect shredder for personal use March 11, 2011
By Chris
Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a great shredder for a great price. I've had about three years worth of papers that needed to be shredded and it did the job without even jamming once. The only issue I came across is the overheating issue but that was because I was feeding in 6-7 pages at once non stop for more than 2 minutes. Overheating is a side effect of all good cross cutting shredders anyway. If I paused a little here and there, I made it about 5 or 6 minutes of almost continuous shredding. It was smart enough to figure out when it was too hot and stopped taking paper until it cooled down, so no need to worry about breaking it. My situation was an extreme and it did the job very well bearing in mind that this is a personal shredder.

Overall:

- Fast & great looking design
- Does not jam (huge plus!)
- Overheating protection

I'd recommend this shredder to anyone over the rest!

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Product, Mesh is Just OK April 29, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
The shredder is a true cross cut shredder, and dices paper into fine confetti. It is easy to operate and the paper feeder has continued to work even after extensive use.

If I had to do it again, I might avoid a mesh basket because every now and then a piece of paper will fall through or get stuck in the mesh. Very minor hassle, but that accounts for the four star rating.
