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.
Ok, so the blades will not spin but the motor will run without the blades. It’s not even a month old and I put 6 pieces through and it can take 12 at a time. But it just quit and not the motor it self runs without the blades spinning
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.
