Disappointed in Ventura
I've had this for a few months and it has been nothing but problems. My husband won't use it because he says it isn't true cross cut, if I have a lot to shred it overheats (I'm on every mailing list in the world), it's loud and the first time I took one of the pretend credit cards and tried to run it through it stopped half way and has been there since.
I bought this for all the wonderful reviews, I guess I got the runt of the litter.
I think I'll be looking to change brands.

Good But!
Good, noisy, but the cutter head unit is too heavy for my wife to pick up. The plate on the bottom helps keep the floor neater when the unit emptied.
Had another make but it had problems so I returned it and ordered the Fellows as all of my previous have been.
NOTE FOR SHARPENING HEAD: Fold a piece of paper and place it over the insert. Pour vegetable oil into the crease and push the button. Been doing this for years.

Excellent home shredder
I purchased 2 of these last Christmas - one as a gift and one for me. Am purchasing another this year as a gift. It easily handles multiple sheets and credit cards. The proximity safety sensor is sensitive but doesn't present a problem to an adult user. That's a good thing. A little noisier than the lighter duty one it replaced. I can never empty these things without some clutter, but that's probably just me. The front opening allows disposal of small items without shredding.

Not for us!
This shredder if far to loud to use in a busy office. Sometimes you can only shred one page at a time.
