I had this delivery on November 7. Never worked well. Stopped working altogether today.

This shredder is not up to the task, personal or otherwise. It has not the strength or design to meet its name. It should be dropped from the Staples inventory.
I needed something small for my office and this fits the bill. A little work horse that chewed up and spit out shredded paper and didn't overheat after a dozen feedings. Good value
This is a decent shredder for the price point; it shreds 8 sheets at a time and does a good job. My only complaint is that it is fairly loud, so I tend to shred on days where I'm the only one in the office.
8 sheets of paper were too many. Also I couldn't place the paper straight in; it would get twisted and the shredder kept overheating and I had to stop for awhile. I finally got to the point where I folded the paper in half and it didn't overheat quite as often. I was very disappointed with this product.
My unit is only on when I need to use it. Today after shredding a few sheets of paper, it would not stop. I shut it off and cleaned out the teeth and then it seemed fine. An hour later it started shredding again despite nothing being fed into it.
I also don't like that the opening is exactly the size of a sheet of paper, 8.5". Paper must be fed into it precisely to have the shredding begin.
