I’m loving this shredder!!! My old shredder broke a few weeks ago, so I went on a search for a replacement. I looked at several different models, watched multiple videos and read multiple reviews to help me make a decision. I’m not disappointed with my choice. In fact, I’m thrilled! It handles multiple pages without hesitation. With my old shredder, when shredding junk mail that was more than one piece of paper in an envelope, I had to open the envelope and shred each page separately. Now with this new shredder, I can feed a thick junk mail envelope though it all at once and it shreds without hesitation. It shreds into small bits which provides more security than my precious shredder that produced thin strips. The shredder basket pulls out from the front which makes it easier and safer to use. It shuts off automatically after it completes the shredding. The noise level is not too bad. My old one was much louder. This shredder is a good value for the money and is excellent for home use. I highly recommend this shredder for anyone looking for a solid shredder for home use. Read more
Works well, quickly shreds into little bits, rarely jams, easy to empty, and will shred for a long while before needing to cool off. A bit noisy, but that's because it is working. Have been using it quite a bit. Does a much better job that the ones I had before it. Read more
Works well. No overheating issues. Really shreds! Have owned for a while. I do bulk shredding once every 3 months. As a daily seems good for home. Light office Read more
I tend to save LOTS of paperwork & receipts... WAY MORE than I probably should (but we'll just keep that little secret between the two of us, ok, thanks). So when I decided to organize my office, I found I had a LOT more to shred than I initially realized. This soon resulted in the complete exhaustion & demise of my pre-2001 3-sheet shredder, may she rest in peace <brief 30- second moment of silence for her many years of faithful service>. Moving on: THIS shredder is sooooo much quieter than the aforementioned Suzie Shredder. I can just shred away & still listen to my podcasts without having to put in my ear buds. It's VERY civil. Additionally, it can easily handle much larger groups of paper; It's rated for 12 sheets @ a time. That makes large shredding jobs much faster. When you have been used to a limit of 3 at a time, 12 is amazing! One of the most important features is that this shredder is rated to run for up to 60 minutes per session, then requiring a 20- min. cooling off period. This is a very important feature for people with moderate to large shredding needs, considering lesser quality shredders typically are limited to anywhere from 3 to 6 min. before requiring a 30- min. cooling period. This is due in part to the fact that this shredder has an actual cooling fan built in. Again, something you will never see with lesser quality shredders. Finally, I should point out that the micro shredding product is remarkably small. Unlike other shredders, that complete the job in strips that can still be read, the small squares produced by this shredder are absolutely impossible to read. You can be assured that your information is absolutely destroyed with this product. The removable bin makes it easy to dispose of the shredded material. I simply stretch a plastic grocery bag across a standard office trash can, holding it open with a couple of office clips, then, dump the shredded material into that, then off to the dumpster, it goes. Also worth mentioning this shredder can devour staples, credit cards & CD's. I would not risk putting paper clips through there. Attention*** when shredding a CD, MAKE SURE YOUR FINGER IS NOT IN THE CENTER HOLE OF THE C.D. WHEN PLACING IT IN THE SHREDDER. YOU COULD LOSE A FINGER!!! Very happy I purchased this. It appears very well made and due to the internal cooling fan, It should last a long time. I give it five bunnies...I mean stars. (If you were born after 1979, you won't get the reference) Happy shredding! Read more
I am very pleased with this micro-cut shredder for my daily home use. It is well made, has a sturdy pull-out basket, and simple & effective controls. It is surprisingly quiet, & after each shred batch, a fan at the back runs a short time to cool the shredder. I have not pushed it to the max, but used it for 50 minutes, max 10 sheets (I did not try 12 sheets or the full 60 minutes)), & it did great. It did struggle a bit at 50 minutes as the motor noise increased somewhat. I suggest staying to the 85% the product manual suggests with a few exceptions. It gobbled up envelopes of junk mail & made tiny chips out of two credit cards. If it holds up well, which only time will tell, I will no longer miss my old Fellowes 60cs that died at 12 years.

I was able to shred large amounts of outdated documents in minimal time. I emptied the bin 4 times. The shredder did not jam, quit, or over heat. Read more
This was bought for our home office. So far it has been a great replacement for our old shredder that was failing. I'm very impressed with how quiet it is when compared to the old one. It's doing a great job. Read more
