Very loud so you don't want to use it in an office setting. And it cannot shred more than 4pages at a time. It also overheats when you try to shred multiple times. I got lucky that when it jammed on 6 pages once and was able to pull them out. Then it the next day I tried to shred and accidentally put 5 pages in. It jammed half an inch from the end of sheets; can't pull them out. There is no manual turning mechanism to get the jammed paper out! It is now garbage. How many of these machines are in out landfills?! NOT WORTH THE PRICE POINT.
Have been very happy with the performers of my new STPLS 12 sheet cross. It just the right size for home use. Highly recommend. You will find its reasonable price.
This shredder is perfect for home use. It has a decent motor and shreds larger bunches of paper ( up to 15 sheets) easily with no jamming ever. The sliding panel to turn the shredder on and off is much better designed than older models too.
