This shredder is no the best. It says it will shreds,16 sheets of paper. It barly get one through. Also shreds in small strips. not too much crosscut.

This machine can handle large amounts of papers without jamming! We use this in our office, it is quiet compared to the older smaller shredder that we had.

This shredder works very well. Although putting 18 sheets really slows it down you can run 10-12 thru at a pretty good pace. Glad to get rid of docs that help protect our identity. Thank you Royal and Sam's Club.

Auto shut off has quit working. I really liked the unit until that happened. Now I am concerned that I will forget to be sure that it shuts off after use. I tried leaving a message with a phone number left by manufacture in another comment and no one called me back.

I bought this a couple months ago, but finally got around to using it. I had a couple years worth of financial stuff to shred. I used it for nearly 2 hours and didn't have to let it cool down. I will add that I DID NOT put in 18 sheets of paper but about 2-5 sheets at a time. Stopping to empty the bin underneath and again when I needed another pile of paper. I ended up with 3 large black trash bags full for shredded paper. My kids came out and helped from time to time too. The bin might be a bit small, but I was doing so much paperwork that I don't know if it just seemed to be needing changed often. I am guessing that each black trash bag had 5-6 bin fulls in them. The shredder I've had in the past, needed a break after 3 things were ran through it, so this is a pleasant change!! Enough that I would come back and write a review!

Within a few months, the Royal 1830MX would not turn off after shredding. Then, it would not even turn on when I inserted paper. I would have to insert paper, push the forward button, shred, then push the reverse button to make it stop. Cleaning the shredder did not help. Returned it to Sam's thinking I had a dud and purchased the same model again. The second shredder did the same thing. I am returning it for a different model.

worked for exactly 22 days. After shredding paper, motor would run continuously and never shut off. It could be stopped by pressing the reverse switch but then wouldn't shred again until the forward switch was pressed. Then the whole cycle repeated itself. Returned it to Sam's for a refund. Definitely not worth the time and aggravation.

Lots of capacity, strong motor

Very pleased with the shredder. The warranty is great too.

Jammed with only a few papers
