[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the Staples 12 Sheets Cross Cut Shredder. It did not come with a manual but pretty self explanatory. There was a bit of trial and error getting it to work at first. The shredder will not operate unless the top is snuggly fit down. I could not get the blue go light to come on and operate till I practically hit the top of each side down even though it looked as if it was placed properly. I also had to hit it down after having it off between shreds. Other than those few hiccups it has been working great. It is slim line so fits right in beside my front door table where I accumulate random papers kids school work and mail. I can take care of all the junk papers instantly instead of it piling up. Helps me be accountable and more organized! It is not overly loud and I love that I do not have to remove staples. I have not tried with paper clips yet. Easy way to get rid of old credit/debut cards as well. It is not overly heavy so it is easy to get rid of the shreds. The waste bin holds a pretty good amount too.
Bought this to replace an older Staples shredder that was no longer functioning properly because it was at least 10 years old. This new one is great! Shreds faster and is a lot quieter than the old one.
I received it on 7/30 in great condition I haven’t used it yet but as soon as I will let you know if it’s up to standard. Staples has always been great in the past when I bought a fax machine and was in perfect working condition. Looking forward to buying more
