Works fine but paper basket opens so easily it stops shredding until you push it back in.Also struggling at more than 6 pieces of paper great home unit
The micro-cut really works. Not only does it remove any possibility of information being stolen, but it reduces the number of times you need to empty it!. Very quiet and safer than my last unit. There is no opening on the top until its time to shred, much safer. Has wheels so you can easily tuck it away when you need to. Very pleased with it.
Day 1 of operating shredder, the auto feed stopped working and has never worked again since. Day 1 of operating shredder, any time I try and shred 3+ pages at once (capacity is advertised as 12 pages), the shredder makes a loud pitched beep at me. Day 20+ of operating shredder and you can't even put one single sheet of paper through the shredder without it beeping excessively loud. This is the SECOND shredder we purchased, the first malfunctioned straight from the box and Staples immediately sent us a replacement. For the replacement to also be such a piece of trash says it's the manufacturing and equipment itself. I would not recommend purchasing this. Go with a slightly more expensive option to actually have a somewhat performative machine. Wasted money.
