Perfect for home use
January 9, 2009
For the price, this is the perfect shredder for moderate home use. It gets the job done. If you need a heavy duty shredder, this might not be your best purchase, as it will shred for about ten straight minutes, then must cool off.
good but noisy

Bought this shredder two weeks ago to use for junk mail. So far it has been great, gobbles up every piece of junk mail that I put in, including credit card offers. However, it is very noisy and makes my baby cry whenever I turn it on:(
Does what it is supposed to do

I recently purchased this shredder and i am extremely happy with my buy. The Shredder does work as advertised, although there is some merit to some of the bad reviews as the chord is rather short and it does sometimes run into minor trouble when shredding full junk mail envlopes.
ALTHOUGH what these people fail to realize is that while jamming mass amounts of stuff in there one after the other, most shredders under 100 bucks aren't going to be able to handle that load. If you do that the shredder will tend to get hot and possibly jam. This shredder is not intended to be a mass mail shredder, if you need something like that then that stop being cheap and spend more then 50 bucks.
The products works wonderfully for most kind of mail if you are patient and feed it through slowly, i went through about 2 years of old bills and what not in about 20 min, which for the sane and patient is not a long amount of time. This shredder was not intended for you to take all your mail and just start jamming it in the slot. Take a little time out of your life and just put it into sheet stacks and it will work to perfection.
Lastly do not buy the oil for the shredder as you can just use vegetable oil as instructed in the user manual, so save yourself the money.
Just right

This shredder fits nicely under a desk, is crosscut, handles all the daily mail and old file projects, and doubles as a regular trashcan. A good buy.
Works well
