Shredder is heavy duty - gets a lot done. It is quiet. It has an automatic feeder which I appreciate when I have a stack of paper to shred. I also like the safety switch since my small grandchildren like to touch buttons. It's the best shredder I ever owned.
Very quite very fast BUT... very heavy much more than my old one BUT it is a much more heavy-duty one also... Let's see how long before my wife burns this one out...LOL
