This shredder was to replace another shredder that went bad. This has been a great replacement. It's quick, smooth, lightweight, and user friendly. The old shredder was heavy, cumbersome and was a pain to empty. So far this shredder has been the total opposite. I gave an average for Jam Resistance only because I haven't had any experience in that area yet. I also like that it kind of pauses once you put the paper in to shred. It turns on to let you know it's about to shred but it pulls the paper in but doesn't start shredding until you push again. That's great to give you a second thought if you accidentally put the wrong paper into the shredder or if you change your mind at the last minute. I think that's a great feature.
I've gone through many cheap shredders in the past and I finally decided to spend a little more on this model. This shredder is a very solid model, quiet but powerful and I'm able to quickly process my papers without having to fiddle with the unit. I also like that it has a front drawer with a large capacity and whereby I can easily remove the shredded paper for disposal.

This model is perfect for home use to purge yearly files with taxes and investments papers. The caveat is the main body is of thin plastic construction with wheels. Wheels don't work well on carpets. There is no convenient handhold to move the unit around. It is a two piece unit. The top shredder and the plastic body. It is something you may not want to move around very much. The shredder construction is quite robust and feels strong when operating it.
Pros: Safety Features, Sheet Capacity

Thank you for the great rating and feedback, Deltadale!
Used shredder for approximately 2000 + sheets so far. I am not doing staples, clips or cards. I don’t want to make an issue for myself until I test it out, & getting work done. No problems, continuous action, took my time, cleaned bin when full, loved the bin. Easy to assemble and quickly started shredding. very nice cuts, small enough, quiet running. I was surprised. How quiet. I did vacuum up pieces left when emptying bin. I also kept the vents in back clean, as very dusty after shredding. Followed the directions and had no problems. Ran for 20 mins easily, I stopped it after a couple of times emptying bin.
Pros: Jam Resistance, Quiet Operation, Secure Cut Size, Sheet Capacity, style with casters make it easy to

Very pleased with this shredder. Does not jam. Bin is good size-does not need to emptied often. Just finished shredding a lifetime of useless paperwork and the job was quick and painless. Highly recommend.
