Great paper shredder! Works well, no jamming. Cuts paper and credit cards up really well. I've had it for over a year with no problems. Good price, recommend.

Our security cameras picked up a competitor going through our trash two Sundays in a row. The very next week, we purchased this shredder. That Monday, we all had a good laugh watching him dig through the bags, only to find nothing but perfectly shredded paper—proof he’d been busted. This shredder has been rock-solid. It’s dependable, surprisingly quiet, and hasn’t disturbed anyone in the office. It’s worked like a champ for years, which says a lot about the quality. When it’s time to empty, I just slip a trash bag over the bin, flip it upside down, and it’s done—simple and clean. You might want to try it.

I have had shredders before, but none have worked as well or felt as sturdy as this one. I had a shopping bag full of papers I needed to have shredded, so I bought this 12 sheet shredder instead of taking the papers (junk mail w/my info on it, bills, etc.), to a UPS store. No problems shredding all of it, including old credit cards. A couple of times I put too many sheets in at once, and the shredder stopped, I hit the reverse, and easily removed the stuck sheets without any harm to the machine. It did not overheat (my old one did after just a few minutes), and storing it after I was done, was easy. The basket is a bit on the small side, though adequate and much sturdier than my old shredder’s. The glass (hard plastic?) window in the basket made it easy to see when it needed to be emptied. The top that contains the shredding system and all the electricals to run it, is very heavy, thus, it was good to have a sturdy basket. The top fits well into the basket. My previous shredder always felt unstable, but this one did not. I will probably be using WD-40 oil to make sure it continues to work well. I need to learn how often that is recommended, and will fully read through the enclosed instructions to learn how often - if it’s recommended at all. Some comments mentioned it before I decided to buy this, so I’ll look into it since I never oiled other shedders. (Maybe that’s why they didn’t last? - Who knows…) For this one, though: so far, so good. Seems to be well worth the $40 price.

I bought this cheap shredder five years ago — in 2019. After the umpteenth pile of financial documents I pushed through her teeth this afternoon, I marveled at how reliable this little unit is. It just keeps on shredding without any mishaps or choking on the stuff I feed it. It will cut through staples without complaint. I have not tried paper clips or heavier duty fasteners. I think that is asking too much if this cheap machine. It shreds credit cards, but slows down considerably when eating them. This is not NSA-level shredding but I think it is adequate for routine family financial and medical information. I do, however, need a set of needle-nosed pliers when I empty it because wads of paper get wedged into the corners. I pushed it way beyond’s its intended light use when we moved two years ago. I had decades of old records that I no longer had a reason to keep and did not want to pay to move. I am talking about a large attic full of records that I shredded in long sessions over a couple of weeks. I fully expected this little thing would give up the ghost and give me a reason to buy a new, more robust unit. But it swallowed all of the papers without a problem or complaint. I am a retired lawyer and I tend to keep more papers than most but when I ultimately dump them, I am very conscious of shredding anything with information someone could use that could harm me. My wife thinks it’s silly, but I also peel prescription information from medicine bottles and shred them too. Trash haulers (for whom I have a lot of respect) sometimes spill stuff in getting our refuse in its truck, especially when overstuffed bags break. I have found on the street neighbors’ paystubs, tax forms, and yes, even prescription medicine bottles. I have to have my unit dumped every other week during “light” periods. Today, in clearing out two years of documents, I had to empty it twice. I can only relate my experience but I am impressed with how much this cheap little thing has shredded for me and how reliable it’s been.

I have had this a while now and it has lasted longer than any other I have bought in the past including fellowes. Key is maintenance, you cant just run and run and run without using cutting oil to keep them clean and sharp. Would 100% buy again.

When my old shredder no longer functioned, my husband bought me a replacement. I was rather hesitant about the "new," because many of the "new and improved" products only made me yearn for the "old and reliable". I am very pleased to say this little shredder has been very efficient, easy to use, cuts paper into shreds and empties without a hassle. It is a bit loud, but because of the rapid shredding, I can live with the few moments of noise. The unit isn't bulky and fits neatly under my desk. I hope "she" lasts for a good long time - yes, I really do like my little shredder.
