Used it about an hour after receiving it and it's doing a nice job. Replaced a 15-year Fellowes strip shredder and am pleased with the cross-cut output. This one handles more sheets without bogging down and is slightly quieter.

I PURCHASED THIS SHREDDER AS MY PREVIOUS SHREDDER SHORTED OUT. IT IS RIGHT NEXT TO MY DESK FOR CONVENIENCE. IT WAS SO LOUD I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT. I TOOK IT BACK THE SAME DAY I PURCHASED IT. MAYBE IT WOULD BE OK FOR SOMEONE WHO NEEDED A SHREDDER IN ANOTHER ROOM.

Worked great for almost two years but then died. Now it makes a buzz saw sound and won't shred or pull paper forward or in reverse. Very disappointed and emailed Fellows for warranty service because they say it is covered for 3 years. Will post update on response when we get one if we do.

Good quality shredder for home or home office, I would recommend something stronger for an office. I tried to shred 1 piece of thick junk mail which was still in the envelope, and it quickly got stuck. It is pretty loud, two people in the same room could not talk over the noise of the shredder.

Although it cannot take the amount of sheets advertised, (It starts to struggle and begins to clog up if you put any more than 3 sheets through at a time. Being self employed, i work from my office at home and even with the above issues, it is still the the most efficient shredder i've had.

I bought this to replace a cheaper model that was ruined through not oiling the blades. No where on the web site did it state that the blades need oiling on this model. Only bought the oil as saw it as an add on. It was only through reading the instructions inside the box did it advise the use of.

A good solid shredder that does what's advertised - ‘shreds' up to 10 sheets at a time. Though actually this machine chips the paper up. More secure & waste takes up less space. Would have been 5 stars but what I take to be a safety feature got in the way.

So far so good. Happy with the size and quiet nature. Has so far been able to handle everything I've put through it. Very happy with purchase. Do your shopping - price varies from store to store. No need to pay full price.

Good value for price, works well, not too loud. The only caution is that the weight is all in the lift-off top component... so top heavy and may not be appropriate if in an area where kids may topple the unit. Otherwise, great as a personal or small office shredder.

I purchased this and was surprised by the performance. My previous shredder was the same price but nowhere near the speed and noise of this model. Only issue is the head requires removing to empty the bin, but this is minor design issue.
