    My previous shredder got stuck with a piece of metal from the handle. The new shredder is manufactured in China, it’s not the same as the old one, but the price is unbeatable. So far so good. Thanks

    It's a small but powerful machine. It easily handles 5 or 6 sheets of paper. Because it's so small you can tuck it anywhere.

    It is small in size, so it does'nt take up a lot of room. I gave it 4 stars because some times it shedded but not crosscut.

    Solid choice for the price. For a minute I thought it was done for after shredding paper all day. Had seen a few people in the reviews with similar problems but seems like they returned it. Turns out these cheaper models just automatically stop shredding to prevent it from over heating. If it stops working just give it some time to cool down and shred on. It’s cheaper anyways so not really meant for cleaning house, but it gets the job done.

    I have had this shredder for a while and it still works well. Just be careful and not try to shred to many pages at one time.

    Have owned it for roughly a month now. It is not so loud and it shreds as expected. Not a super product, but works as expected and priced decently.

    The Fellowes shredder that I had for almost 25 years, seriously, 25 years, died. And, yes, I used it regularly. So I purchased this one, which is a bit smaller but works just as well. Would have given it 5 stars, but you really can only put around 2/3 sheets in at a time depending on thickness. I highly recommend Fellowes shredders as well as Best Buy for the great price and deal!

      Thank you for sharing your experience, LeslieB! We appreciate the trust you expressed in the Fellowes brand! The unit is designed to shred 6 sheets of 20 lb paper so if it is only accepting 2-3 sheets, we recommend oiling the blades with Fellowes shredder oil. If you continue to have problems, please give customer service a call for assistance! We are here to help you!

    Everything about this shredder is great. The only negative is the extremely narrow slot used to feed the documents into the shredder.

    Good value for the money however the motor could be a little stronger. I shredded 6 papers and one time they got stuck. Not a rugged machine but very functional
