Seems to shred okay. But I had this same brand that was about 8 years old, and I liked the door on the bottom to open to remove the waste bin. This new design seems to make a mess when removing the bin.
Our son has a similar unit and when our old Staples shredder went bad after MANY years of service we decided we wanted one like his. Love the way it works. Like the slide bar feature that turns it on and off. Shreds more sheets at one time than the old one.
