The shredder worked great. I was able to shred everything that I tried to put in it. I put multiple pieces of paper stapled papers and credit cards. The container that caught the shredded paper was sturdy and it was easy to take the shredder portion off to dump it. The shredder portion is about 5lbs and fits nicely on top of the collection basket. It's also small and compact so it's easy to store in a number of places.

The shredder worked incredibly well for me! It was very easy to hook and very user-friendly. I love that there's an overheating indicator and the auto start and stop function is a lifesaver. I only had one very small issue of the shredder jamming but that was a user error. I put too many sheets in at once while testing the shredder. Other than that I had zero issues with this. I also love how compact it is and very easily fits in with my other office machines. I would definitely recommend this!

First I loved the compact size. I placed it right between my home desk and file cabinet. It fits perfectly. I like the color and the easy to use controls. Very user friendly. I first used it for mail that comes for credit cards and thought this was perfect to shred it instead of just throwing it away. Makes me feel more secure that my information is shredded. I counted 8 pages of junk mail to see if it stood up to it's 8 page promise and it did well. I could tell any more than that and it would probably jam. I had some expired credit cards I ran through the shredder and it worked perfectly. All i n all I thought it's a nice and compact shredder.

I used this shredder to finally clean out years of paperwork that I did not need to hang onto any longer but didn't know what I should do to deal with it. It had a lot of private info that I didn't feel safe just tossing out. It felt good to run through everything I had been lugging around all these years in just half an hour. It says it's good to shred up to 10 sheets at once but I found that was just a safe number during my test I pushed it just a little bit past that (13 maybe 14 sheets) and it performed just fine. I wouldn't make a habit of that because I don't want to shorten the lifespan of this shredder but it performed great for me. The bin that it comes with holds a ton of shredded paper and tipping it out into a grocery bag to throw away was very easy. It has a switch inside the mouth of the shredder that automatically turns it on when something is inserted and it continues for a little bit after the paper has fully gone through just to clear out the teeth. I've used shredders in the past that had a manual switch and that got exhausting. You could leave this plugged in all day if you wanted too and it would be right there ready to go.

It is a high quality product. It is easy to use but you must get the paper you want shredded in exactly straight or it will wad up and bog down. It needs to be quieter to me it is to loud. It does what it says it will do shred your documents but will only shred about 4 or 5 pages withough bogging down. If you want a shredder for your own personal use this is the one to think about.

Excellent! Very easy to use! It says 8 sheets but I tempted fate and did 10 sheets one time. It handled it like a champ! It’s probably not good for the shredder to do on a regular basis but it can handle it.

Hands down the best shredder I have ever used. The paper is easy to load into the shredder there is no mess and it's simple to empty the contents when finished. Best of all this shredder is lightweight so I am able to move it from my office to another room with no issue. I highly recommend.
