Basic. That's what I needed. No frills. Light duty. That's what I got. Does not impress with its power (but it could be hiding it's strength that I haven't put to the test yet) and you have to either leave it on or operate the power switch conveniently on top every time you use it. Very bright green LED when it is powered. Possible double duty as a night light.
IT WSN'T WHAT I THOUGHT. You get what you pay for. It is a cheap product all around. It can only handle very little shredding.

Compact size easy to use quiet but a bit slower than an older model that gave up the ghost. Also less capacity. Overall it's a win for our purposes which are not heavy duty.
