Five uses and it quit
January 6, 2009
I used this shredder a very few times and it quit. The red light came on, nothing I did made it operational. Very disappointed. Then I had to lug the monster to be shipped back.
CAN'T BE BEAT FOR PERFORMANCE

I have had this item since Nov. 19, 2008 and it has been the best shredder yet for me so far. I have had used three differant make shredders in past and this one really does a better job of shredding. I have paid up to $100 for past shredders at discount rate and this one cuts better and faster.
Good Medium Duty Confetti Shredder

This unit was purchased to replace cross cut shredder that just died. I like this confetti option, though it runs a little slower than our old shredder and seems to take less thick materials than our cross cutter. The good news is that this shredder requires oil each time it is emptied. On the surface, this might seem like a pain. However, I believe that it will help this one last longer than our previous shredder (a couple of years). By the way, DO NOT RUN any shredder for a long period of time without a break to cool down. This model needs to stop and cool down every 15-20 minutes. Conveniently, you should fill the bin before you hit that maximum time of operation. If you have a lot of material to shred, then stop for a while each time you empty the bin and oil it. It does not like unopened mail, which is pretty much the case with every shredder that I have owned to this point. I like the handle on the shredder, since it makes it easier to remove the shredder top and empty the trash bin. So far, so good and we shred a lot of junk mail at our house.

This is a great shredder. It's fast & quiet & will easily shred at least 10 sheets. I would definately recommend this model to any one looking for a cross shredder.

It is performing as presented. However, the noise level is much lower than our previous shredders. We've only had it for a few months, but certainly we have no disappointments so far.
