I originally purchased one that had an lubricating paper that was to be used prior to the first use then the instructions said to oil every 2 weeks. This oil caused horrible smell to be generated and the unit stopped working after just a few days of use. I returned and received a replacement that didn't have this lubricating paper and so far it has worked perfectly for 2 weeks with heavy use the first week then moderate use thereafter.

I bought this shredder a few days ago and after using it for about 20 minutes it quit taking paper continuously. Instead it would just pulse on and off until the paper was all the way through. The overheat light was not on and it did not feel hot. I unplugged it a let it sit awhile and still the same thing happened when i tried it again. I ended up returning it.

I had a small shredder that was great but would only shred 5 pages at a time. And to get the paper out i had to take the top off and it would make a mess no matter how careful i was. Saw this one and liked you can pull the tray out, and it shred 12 sheets. I wasnt disappointed. I could shred whole envelopes with junk mail with no problem. It runs smooth too, minimal noise. And pulling out the tray is so great. Shreds as expected, no one will piece together your info. And the price is hard to beat. Research this, you wont find a micro shredder with pull out tray close to this price. Buy it, you wont be disappointed

Amazingly EAGER! We have had several Fellows before--maybe these were odd fellows or poor fellows, but they were not nearly a "Member's Mark"! Extremely efficient "micro-cutting" (pelletizing) of a stack of real 24 pound paper with very little paper dust! When the bin is full, a person (me!) can transfer the remains single-handedly into a grocery bag for recycling. For the price, capacity, ease of operation, and extremely low dust generation, an amazing machine!

Bought about a year ago, is used very lightly. After about 4 months the plastic guard over the feeder slot broke when I put 6 sheets to shred. Had it about 6 months then it began to slow down, at 8 months it runs all the time even with no paper in it. Sorry to say but just junk and very expensive when considering it started breaking at 4 months with light use. Now runs all the time so have to turn it off.

I was really loving this paper shredder and then all of a sudden it only shreds in 1 or 2 second bursts (and I usually have to hold the forward button to get it to finish). This isn't a matter of it getting too warm and stopping to protect itself, it does it all the time now. I've tried oil. I've cleaned the sensors. Unplugged it and plugged it back in. Nothing helps. I've had it less than a year and it isn't a unit that gets overused.

I researched quite a few micro cut shredders before deciding to give their one a try. The two reasons I decided to buy Members Mark’s brand were the great reviews and the price. I have 0 complaints. This baby really shreds paper making it almost dust! You’ll be glad you purchased it as I am.

False and conflicting advertising copy. Every sheet of paper has twopages (front and back). When you claim 12 sheets at a time, that means 24 pages which greatly exceeds a light duty shredder's capacity. Also, in another part of the description you more accurately claim up to 6 sheets/12 pages which is more accurate. 4 to 5 sheets of 20%23 bond paoer probably more accurately describes the true capacity. Please correct your false and misleading (and inconsistent) product description.

lasted 2 months with regular household mail shredding. teeth jammed with paper only--i typically shred 1 sheet at a time. bought in August 2021. it is now Oct 30 2021 & it's broke. tried cleaning out the teeth with a brush. plugged back in & turned it on & nothing. no power, no nothing. complete garbage & waste of money.

Secure cross cut that'll protect your private identifiable information by making it impossible to restore the documents. I could not find any other brands' shredder that would provide 30 minutes continuous run time and maximum of 12 pages of shredding power with this low price.
