Quiet and yet powerful. The basket holds a lot of paper. Clearing it will be a pain since the top locks onto the base. It also has too many safety switches to fail which they always do.
This shredder is wonderful. Very quiet and like the slide top to close the unit when not in use. Would recommend it to anyone who needs a new shredder.
This if the second one that I have had. It is ideal for me and you cannot beat the price. I rated this one a 4 and if it had been identical to the first one I would have rated it a 5. The only difference that I am aware of is that the first one I had the top had a handle which enabled you to lift the top off to empty the shredded paper. Made it much easier and I think safer.
