I did not realize until the shredder was delivered that it was for light shredding only. I am going to return it. The problem is not the shredder but my not realizing it was for light work only.
Don't like the idea you have to take the "head" off in order to empty the basket - way too cumbersome. My old one (a Royal brand) I was able to remove the basket from the front head stayed in place. This one is also very noisy - much more so than the Royal.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The shredder is small doesn’t take up much space and it’s currently in my living room under an end table. It’s not terribly loud and the bin holds the perfect amount of shredded paper. I don’t like ones with huge bins as they are hard to dispose the tiny strips of paper when full. This one has a smaller bin and I can toss the scraps without making a mess. The shredder worked ok it got the job done. However it will not shred 12 pieces of paper without causing a major jam that is not easy to remove. It sucks in the larger amounts on an angle no matter how straight you place it in. The most paper I could shred was 7 pieces. I don’t have massive amounts to shred at a time but not once could this shredder do 12 sheets of paper at a time without a jam. If you have small amounts that have to be shredded maybe get this or take to your local bank who will likely dispose for free. If you need a small shredder in your office go for it but know you will not be shredding more than 7 pieces of paper at a time.
