  • Works perfectly!

Great Buy! Shreds with ease! Very Loud, but gets the job done!

  • Works great
Size: 12 Sheet (New Model)
I think all of these shredders are inherently noisy. But it is not like you are going to run them all day. This shredder does a solid job and is easy to use.

  • For home use
Size: 8 Sheet (New Model - Black)
Compact and functional. I just received the item and use a little. Not sure how long will last. Anyway still a good deal than taking paper outside for shredding. Save the trip and money. Some place charge 1 dollar a pound for shredding. For documents and privacy, I prefer doing myself at home.

  • Works great!
Size: 8 Sheet (New Model - White)
A grocery bag full of papers shredded without any issues. Small size means lots of emptying for this grocery bag batch. The noise level isn’t too bad when just tossing in a couple of items from the daily mail. It would be nice if the top clipped to the base for moving the unit. The handle is only for the top shredder portion. ... show more

  • Love this shredder!!
Size: 8 Sheet
Very sturdy and does a great job shredding my confidential papers. Perfect for home use and a great size for a home office. I use it about once a week or once every 2 weeks so the limit of 8 papers at a time is ok with me. If you have a lot of shredding to do, might want to look for a shredder that will accommodate more than 8 sheets at a time. For me this is a perfect, good quality shredder that meets my needs. ... show more

  • What a great shredder
Size: 8 Sheet
I am very pleased with this shredder. It shipped very fast, next day. It’s of good quality. It says that it can chew up to 8 pages, I only did up to 4 and sometimes it jammed. It was easily reversed though to clear any jams. It fills up pretty fast, but easily can be dumped. It shreds very efficiently. I would definitely recommend it. ... show more

  • Works Great
Size: 8 Sheet
Works just fine. Does make loud noise during operation but that is to be expected with a shredding machine. I read both the negative and positive reviews before purchase and receiving it and reading the directions I can see that all the negative reviews are from people who ran the machine too long. The chart says 3 minutes of use and 30 minutes of cool down time. I shredded paper for more than 3 minutes without it shutting off but the machine does get hot and if it shuts down on the user that's a safety feature due to overheating of moving parts. Perfectly satisfactory light shredder. ... show more
