  • Seems good so far for cardboard composting
Seems like a good shedder, can handle lots of cardboard as long as it’s thin enough without overheating. Good for composting.

  • A top rated shredder work the money
This is an very heavy duty quality shredder. I had read some online reviews of the best crosscout shredder and the 24 sheet version of this shredded came out to be the best value. I did not need that high capacity, so opted for the 18 sheet. I am nappy I did. It is a workhorse!

  • Great Shredder Not so Great CD/Credit Card Slot Not so Great!
I have not even had this shredder a year purchase last June, it is now March. The shredder aspect works great no complaints there, but the CD/DVD/Credit card shredder is where the issue lies. I barely use this feature, but the cards get stuck inside and I have tried to insert them horizontally and vertically. I had to get them out with a wire and wiggle them so they go down the right slot inside to get shredded and it's not even a cross-cut shred on that so information can still be exposed. Amazon brands are generally not so bad and if it were not for this issue with the other shredder on this, I would give it 5 stars. Its a shame that there is an issue so soon. so if you will be shredding these types of materials, I would research further for something that is known to be able to last. ... show more

  • Cheap quality. Terrible packing. Slow
I can't see this product lasting long. It seems extremely overpriced for what it is. It arrived and immediately I noticed a rattling sound. Upon inspection I noticed that parts of the plastic internals had completely shattered during shipping. Even with just the flimsy, singular piece of brown paper in the shipping box, I can't see a well made product breaking so easily. It seems cheap and not well made. It's slow to shred a single piece of paper. My 20 year old "other brand" shredder is the same speed to shred, even slightly faster but also much more efficient, even at just 10 sheets vs this 18. I have no confidence in this shredder and will be looking elsewhere. Keep in mind when buying this particular size, that it's very heavy and at least in my case, wasn't packaged well, which could lead to problems down the road. I don't know if they all have this weak plastic in the same place. Maybe that's why some other reviewers talk of melting and smoking? The power light stays lit at all times unless using the power switch on the back of the unit in addition to the auto button (redundant) but which doesn't make much sense because the manual states to always unplug the unit when not in use. This seems like a strange warning to me. It seems fairly quiet compared to older shredders. This item is made in China ... show more
