I bought it as it was the only one that had positive reviews... until now. I've been shredding checks and 3 checks is about the most this machine can handle without jamming reversing and going forward. I can't imagine trying to shred a credit card or even 10 sheets of paper at once.
I bought my sister Sharon this shredder and she finally used it and called to tell me that she loves it. She is a senior with arthritis who was tearing up her junk mail. Sending her this shredder has really help her get rid of the junk mail and other paper that had piled up. She FaceTimed me to show me the progress she had made with this shredder.
Had a TruRed shredder for 6 months and it broke. Called the support line couldn't fix it so sent me this one. I'm not sure I like it since it is significantly smaller and cheaper than the other one it replaced. I have to use it a bit and see.
Seems to be a pretty good shredder but it is too soon as I've only had it a short time. It seems a bit heavy and not easy for me to handle and I'd rather have got a little smaller one for a little less money.
I've gone through multiple shredders in the past and they don't seem to hold up. Either the papers jam frequently or they just get worn out. This shredder is a real workhorse. I have fed in thick papers and it chews right through them.
