Not Worth It!

Purchased in Sep 2010 for home business. In Jan 2011, auto start/stop feature stopped working. In July 2011 jamming became a daily experience. In Aug 2011 shredder started making grinding noises; attempting to get service people to evaluate shredder.
Smaller under desk personal shredder lasted 8 years and though a little louder had a better cost to benefit ratio.
This is the best shredder I have ever owned. It will surely outlast any of my previous shredders by years. It is truly a dynamo. Considering I am only using it for home use, I hope to measure its lifespan in decades.
Pros: Sheet Capacity, Quality Construction, Warranty, Shreds Credit Cards, Staples and CDs, Service Guarantee, Safety Features, Secure Cut Size, Jam Resistance, Mess Reduction
This product is excellent for daily large loads of shredding. We have used this product for two weeks and have not had a jam, overheating has not happened and it is very safe to use. The product has durability and I think we will get several years of good use out of it.
Pros: Quality Construction, Safety Features, Secure Cut Size, Jam Resistance
Great cross-cut shredding and handles credit cards and thicker bundles of paper without a problem. We've had a problem with the sensor. It causes the shredder to continue running after the process is finished. Cleaning it helps, but it's much too sensitive. Don't expect to get away cheap by using ordinary recycle trash bags either. Only Fellowes bags work in the custom size bin. You have to be careful to put them in the bin correctly too or you can end up with shredded paper everywhere.
Pros: Quiet Operation, Sheet Capacity, Shreds Credit Cards, Staples and CDs, Safety Features, Jam Resistance
