Constantly Jams
Read the instructions, never shredded paper clips, staples, etc., never exceeded 10 sheets standard paper. Had for a month so far, jammed at least 20 times so far. Returning soon.

worst shredder ever
From the beginning when inserting paper to shred, sometimes it worked and some times it did not. We started leaving the paper in the shredder and a couple of hours later it would start up all of a sudden. My home shredder which I have had for 6 years works better than this one brand new.

Needs Great Improvement
Have had this shredder only one year and use daily for shredding only mail. All of a sudden it quit automatically shutting off. Cleaned out what little waste was in cutters, even found dlectronic eye and noteced no obstruction whatsoever. Just a nusance to keep turning it on and off. Will purchase a different shredder.

Not Worth It
The switch that is supposed to automatically turn the shredder on and off when inserting paper stopped working within the first two months of purchase. Then within the first half a year, the waste bin stopped staying properly in place. The junky plastic clips that are supposed to hold it in proper place no longer hold the bin. So I"ve got to turn on the switch then with one hand push in on the bin so it stays where it belongs (otherwise the safety switch disables the motor), and with the other hand, feed in the paper. Then I let go of the bin, it pops out of place and it stops shredding, and I turn off the switch. It's JUNK!
