5.0 out of 5 stars Works great!!, August 9, 2009

This review is from: Royal PX1000MX 10-Sheet CD/Floppy Cross Cut Shredder with Pullout Basket (White) (Office Product)

Picked this shredder up (1 month ago) from a warehouse based retailer (Cost**) where it goes for less than 50/-

Pros:
- Very quiet compared to other shredders of same capacity (I have another from staples which is noticeably louder)
- Shreads 8 - 10 sheets without any problem (no jamming or slow down)
- Shreads CD/DVD's, Credit Cards, Sheets with staples
- Looks great - (looks like one of those milky white apple accessories)
- Fair size basket with see thru screen (lets u know if the basket is full)
- Comes with 4 rolling tires. You can easily roll the shreader on floor (if you dont want them dont install, they are optional but they do come in the same box)
- Great price Cost**

Cons:
- Waste Basket feels like as if it made of cheaper plastic (need to push it very slightly for snug fit) - But it is not troublesome in any way.

I had no sensor issues as other reviewer mentioned. Infact the basket need to lock in from the top not bottom. And the lock on top fits very nicely.

Overall a great shredder with nice clean lines and a powerful motor. Definitely recommended for home use.

Update: Dec 2010
This shredder is still working great, no jams - no issues at all in more than a year of normal home use.

I agree with other reviewers in that a) the basket is flimsy, and b) you probably don't want to shred a 1,000 page document with this, but unless you plan on using it for soccer practice or you work for the CIA, it should work just fine. The basket is a little flimsy, but at least on mine, fits in the receptacle no problem, and I don't see it breaking under normal usage. As for shredding large documents, I can't speak to that, but it has no problem shredding 5-6 sheets at a time without bogging down (like my old POS), so again, unless you have super-large (100+ pages?) documents to shred on a regular basis, it should be just fine.

This review is from: Royal PX1000MX 10-Sheet CD/Floppy Cross Cut Shredder with Pullout Basket (White) (Office Product)

This shredder shreds everything I throw at it. I only use it for sensitive mail and small documents, but have never had it overheat or otherwise quit on me. A few pieces of paper do escape the bin, but nothing excessive. While it seems flimsy, when it is all snapped together with the bin pushed in all the way at the top and bottom (it snaps into place) the whole thing is pretty solid. I put an 8 gallon trash bag in to make emptying easier. The wheels could be useful, but I didn't install them. The drawer design is fantastic because you don't ever have to lift the heavy shredder off the bin or set it down anywhere where it could make a mess. Convenient, meets all my demands, and my fingers are still intact.
