    Does a god job. Cannot put too many sheets in the machine . Must oil blades to keep them from cloging. If it gets too hot, it will shut off.

    Good shredder for the price. Will only do 6 sheets at a time but is handy to shred items from prying eyes.

      Hi Dinoshopper. We are happy to hear your new shredder is quieter! We appreciate the feedback about the run time. This is a personal shredder so there are larger units which will feature longer duty cycles. Please give us a call if you have any questions. We are here to help!

    I needed a shredder to handle my shredding needs at home. It is a good basic shredder but is a bit on the noisy side. A good price point however.

    3 Pages At Best

    Keep it oiled! It claims to shred 6 at a time; however, it works best shredding no more than 3 at a time just in case I’m the pages decide to fold up on themselves. It automatically turns itself off after 3mins to prevent over heating.

    Inexpensive is another word for cheap

    I've had this shredder for more than a year and I remain unimpressed. It's inexpensive but it struggles with one sheet let alone 6 sheets as advertised. The only reason I gave three stars is because it hasn't broken. I replaced another fellows shredder that I liked very much but this model is just lacking.

    Didn't realize how tiny it was but it does get the job done.
