This review is from: Royal Machines JS55 6-Sheet Strip-cut Desktop Shredder with Auto Start/Stop and Reverse (Black) (Office Product)

From all outer appearances this item looked like it would function well in my office. The day I received it I eagerly placed paper in it only to question if I was using it correctly. I discovered that this item requires an hour or so to warm up before it will shred anything as fed.
But here are some suggested ways to work around it: First, you can leave paper in the mouth and it will sit inactively for 40-60 minutes before it arbitrarily shreds. The noise level is comparable to a sink disposal. A second alternative is to feed the paper from bottom up and hit reverse because that is the only working function available from the get-go.

The paper stripes of 1/4" are too wide. at times Information such as names and phone numbers came out very clear. IF somebody is really after information he shouldn't have much trouble finding it after you throw away your papers

This shredder is ok if you have 3 sheets to shred once a week. You cannot shred sheet repeatedly. It clogs up and is very hard to operate.
