Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Not bad. Not bad at all. I wanted a shredded that I felt shredded things so small it would be impossible to put back together. This shredder fills this order and delivers. It takes a single sheet of paper and shreds it in over 1000 tiny pieces. I've heard of paper shredders catching fire but if you don't let it ever heat and lubricate the blades every time you empty the bin, you shouldn't have any problem with it. I had 5 years worth of mail I wanted to shred and this thing por formed marvelously. Approximately 4 bins will fill up a 13 gallon tall kitchen garbage bag. For safety reasons when you lift the shredder from the bin it shuts down. Great in case one forgets to turn it off when cleaning the bin. The slot where the paper goes is wide enough for paper, but not for adult fingers. Please be careful around children although the machine may not turn on for anything smaller than 1 inch or so. Keep in mind accidents can happen. Worry not about staples this thing will take care of that no problem. My only issue is you can only shred 6 standard pages at a time. Keep in mind the thicker the page is the less you will have to load into the shredder. Other than that the 6 page limit is not a big deal for home use. To keep the shredder running smoothly I recommend you buy some paper shredder lubricant. It's not expensive and your shredder will last a long time. Use it everytime you empty the bin. For the price I'd buy this shredder again. I hope my review was helpful. And if you decide to buy this item enjoy.
