Shredder works fine but jams without much effort. Had to pull out bits of paper from it after just a few uses. The opening is just enough for a piece of paper so it will pull at an angle and jam up. 8 pages is the limit but I only send through 6 or less to make sure it doesn't jam up. Works well in the office to use when needed.
Meets my needs for shredding paper- motor runs smoothly and operates consistently. Only wish is that it would cross shred into slightly smaller pieces like my old Staples shredder because sometimes I can see an intact word due to the shape and direction of the cut, but I am happy overall.
This cross-Cut shredder is quieter than my last shredder, is more secure than the strips I had before, was a good price on sale, is easy to use, & is sturdy. Cross-cut is lower volume to recycle than strips from an equal amount of paper. It was a very good price on sale, is easy to use, reduces the volume of shredded paper from what I had before, and is sturdy.
