Bought this shredder yesterday and it overheated the first time I used it. Let it cool down unplugged overnight and tried again next morning…I put 4 sheets of paper in at once and it stopped working and flashed the red light as it was overheated. Taking it back today!! Waste of time and money!!!
The shredder is too small what I don't like is that it has to stay closed when not in use as the blue light is too bright. I don't like that the blades start as soon as you actually slide the top open so I've taped that up. I also don't appreciate that the only option I had for a shredder at Staples is ONLY their brand. I left them with the excellent shredder I had and I'm sure someone has cleaned out the blades and now has a much better shredder in their possession.
This little shredder really helped me clean out 6 years worth of unneeded paperwork taking up space. I would highly recommend this for personal home use.
Have to lift the top to empty the can no pull out drawer. Paper you enter from the top crumbles no matter how you put them even 1 sheet. It seems like the opening for the paper is smaller than 8.5 inches. Returned it & bought a Fellow shredder that works great.
