5.0 out of 5 stars Great Buy!, October 13, 2007

This is a great shredder for the home, and for the price. If the basket is too small for the shredding job you're doing, an attached extension on the side of the shredder just pulls out, and you can just place the shredder over the larger basket, I find the 13 gal. kitchen-size wastebasket works great. Buy it. You won't be disappointed.

1.0 out of 5 stars Looks good, but broke the first day, March 3, 2008

By	UberZeiger (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews

I bought this shredder because it had decent reviews, and was small and white (read: blends in with decor so my wife would let me keep it out in plain view).

This is a super light duty shredder. It doesn't make confetti cuts, just turns the paper into long strips. As a result, it isn't as secure and take up a lot of space in the bucket, so you have to empty often. But my biggest complaint is obviously that it broke the first day I had it. I would have been more upset except that I hadn't thrown away the packaging yet so it made it easy to return. So I was very disappointed and can't recommend a product that broke on day one, but Amazon was great about their return policy as usual.

I purchased a Fellowes DM12c as a replacement, which is more expensive and heavier duty. I really like the Fellowes shredder and it was worth the extra money. The way it sounds when this baby devours documents is like the purr of exhaust on a vette or porsche - very satisfying.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great little shredder for the home, July 13, 2007

By	Ann Johnson "Classic movie lover" (Austin, Texas USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This little baby is a great asset for anyone intent on keeping their personal identity theirs. It works great with the minor drawback of it's size. If you have a lot of shredding to do the basket is small and you will need to empty it often, otherwise, it is easy to work and does what it was advertized to do.
