I've shredded tens of thousands of pages with this shredder and it is still going strong. Just follow the manufacturer recommendations - don't stuff too much material in at once and give the shredder a break every 30-40 minutes. The shredder does generate some paper dust. So I do recommend vacuuming the unit, shred bin and motor exhaust fan after filling the shred bin 4 to 6 times, especially if shredding that much material in a short timeframe. Not only does this help with the dust, but you can keep the little pieces of shredded paper from escaping the work area. A small shop vac with a brush attachment works well. (By the way, 2 bins full of shredding fit into a 13 gallon tall kitchen trash bag with some room to spare.) I like the shredder enough to buy one for my daughter as a replacement for her brand name shredder I broke trying to shred 3 sheets of paper at once.

if you want to save time when you have to do a whole lot of shredding, like I did almost a year‘s worth, this is the machine to get. It shreds 18 pages which you think it might not be important but when you have to do so much shredding it becomes very important and reducing the amount of time it takes to do so. I like that this shredder is very quiet because I can shred at night without worrying about waking up anybody in the house. I gave it a four star rating maybe unfairly, but because it was very heavy. You’ll be thankful that it has wheels to move it around like I did from room to room. again, I would’ve given it a five star rating if it wasn’t so heavy but I’m sure they can’t avoid that.

Excellent shredder. Quiet. Was able to shred quite a bit in a short period of time. It claims you can shred up to 18 sheets at a time. I don’t think I’ve done that many at once probably 10 or 12 sheets however the shredder was capable of handling 20 minutes of continuous use.

This shredder is a work horse! Quiet and works great! I had a lot of shredding and this shredder did the job! Much better than my previous shredder, although previous worked great for many years, this shredder did the job-lots of package labels and junk mail to shred!

This seems like it should be a great shredder, however from the start it has jammed and overheated with just one sheet of paper. I have processed less than a dozen sheets of paper and it is jammed and won’t budge. It is going back to store

I upgraded from a very noisy, cross cut shredder to this amazing shredder. It is quiet and munches paper with ease. It’s absolutely worth the price.

Great shredder. So much quieter than the last one I owned. Does a great job. Cuts very small pieces and let's you know when to empty. Love that the drawer pulls out and not have to lift a heavy top to get to basket. Highly recommend.

Shredder is impressive. I am happy with the way it looks and how easily it works. Easy to open and dispose of contents; wheels are very useful as well since the unit is quite heavy. Holds more shredded paper than I expected.

Impressive Shredder; after more than a month's heavy use, it works Perfectly! I have had no issues at all with the machine. I really like the big size of the shredded paper bin and the machine is a Quality built machine. After looking at a lot of different shredders; I am really happy that I selected this one! The price was very good and I loved the Sam's Club Plus free delivery to my home.

It took me several weeks before purchasing a shredder, there are so many and countless places to purchase. I read so many reviews and was growing tired . I finally went to Sam's website and came across this one, the reviews were consistent and the size is what I wanted!! No Regrets!! Money well spent, it is one of the Best!! Does what it says. I am a little hesitant to shred 18 pages because you can hear a difference the more papers you shred, however, the reverse jam works well!! Great guy!!
