5.0 out of 5 stars Works great!

Small and compact. Heavy-duty shredding mechanism and teeth.
Shredding unit has convenient handle! Very important, as you have to lift frequently to empty shredding basket. My old unit didn't have handle, and that part is the whole weight of the product. Important to follow the directions: no more than 8 sheets at a time(less if shredding heavier paper, as with tax documents!) And do not run longer than the 3 minutes.
We'll see how it holds up over time.
Small and compact, which requires frequent emptying of shred basket

Easy button movement, easy feed, powerful, easily put together and taken apart. The shredder has a little bit of weight, and its noisy, but thats what you get with a shredder

4.0 out of 5 stars So Far So Good
Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2024
My SHredder finally died after 15 years and needed a new one. Picked this on Prime day for a great price. So far it has worked great. I am a little worried about the switch. It feels a little on the cheap side compared to my last one. It has tackled all my shredding needs so far. I will update this once I have an extensive shredding need where I can test for overheating.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works Great
Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2024
Very Heavy and durable shredder. I bought as a replacement for an older shredder that was starting to fail and get gummed up from use. This model doesn't recommend staples, paperclips, or anything with adhesives. I have put a few unwanted return labels thru from charities that I don't want that have some personal info on them. So far no problems, but I'll put a piece of paper on each side and try to do in individual feeds ........ it's helped keep it clear. I think with smart usage, and maintenance (with shredder oil sheets or equivalent) it will last a long time. I'm happy with this shredder and the price I paid !

5.0 out of 5 stars Will not cut all cardboard without extra step
Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2024
I bought this shredder for cardboard and it works great on single wall but any thicker the cardboard doesn't fit in the slot but I found out all you have to do is peel off one layer of paper even on the triple wall (extra step) and it will pull through and shred just fine, one defect is the "full" lever inside, it broke off, I put it back on and it's working, I may have to hot glue a strip of plastic to keep it in place, other than that it works great.

Well worth it, this is the second shredder I have purchased and would recommend it to anyone who needs a shredder at home.

4.0 out of 5 stars affordable and less hassle
Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2024
It shreds paper quickly and efficiently, and I’ve had no issues with jams so far. It handles credit cards well, too, though it’s a bit noisy when doing so. The size is compact enough to fit under my desk, and it’s easy to empty. My only complaint is that the bin fills up fairly quickly, so I have to empty it more often than I’d like.
