Machine Constantly Overheats

I wish I would have used this sooner so I could have taken this shredder back. It constantly overheats, just doing daily shredding. I have attempted to shred about 25 pages and it overheats. I turn it off and come back several hours later and it will let me do half a sheet, then displays the overhead symbol and won't work. I've unplugged the shredder and attempted to "reset" it that way and I still get the same problem. Either I purchased a shredder that was returned by someone else, or this is simply a poorly built shredder. Wish I had never bought this.
I wanted to give the Shredder five stars, but it a bit loud when shredding. However, I like the compact size and the efficiency of its operation. It fits nicely under my desk and it is easy to shred multiple sheets of paper without jamming.
