Good home shredder

I have owned many shredders over the years. I like the 12 sheet capacity of this one. Especially like the fact the basket pulls out to be emptied. The one negative for me has been the basket has to be jiggled sometimes for it to make the "connection" so the machine gives me a green ready light to shred.

Messy, must be emptied frequently

While reasonably powerful and quiet, this will leak shreds whenever it is emptied, and you must empty it pretty frequently. The claim is that it will hold 240 pages, but the reality is that far fewer pages than that (50? less?) will fill it up because the shreds are fluffy. If you wait until it is full when you pull out the bin, shreds and dust from the top will fall into the housing and on the floor. Even if you empty it when it is only half-full, inevitably some shreds will have worked their way around the bin, or fall from the blades. Keep a dust pan handy. The fault is with the slide-out bin. My previous shredder had the mechanism sitting loose on top of the bin. If shreds fell when you lifted it up they fell into the bin. Then the bin could be emptied like any other wastebasket.

Literaly only worked for 15 minutes!

Brought it home and unboxed it. Set it up and plugged it in. Shredded almost half a wastebasket full and then it just stopped. The ready light was on but when I try to shred nothing happens. So i turned it off and unplugged it for 25 minutes to let the thermal overheat reset itself. I really hadn't worked it that hard but that was the only thing I could come up with. Well after 25 minutes I plugged back in to try it out and again nothing. What a piece of junk! It's going back tomorrow.

Does a great job of shredding

Just watch the thickness of papers you send through...too thick and it will get stuck and you have to pull it out partially shredded, leaving tiny scraps of paper on the floor. It would be impossible to put anything going through this shredder back together. It shreds so finely that there is some paper on the floor when you pull out the basket to empty it. Very fluffy shredding which fills the basket quickly, but it does the job it's intended to do.

Awsome

after my old shredder's motor died on me I go this one. I purchased one for my mother last year & knew she loved it so decided this would be the one for me too. Not as noisy as my other one & like the fact that the basket sits inside the unit & easy to pull out to dump. No more motor straddling the basket & having to remove it to empty the basket. You won't go wrong getting this.

BEST SHREDDER!!!!!

THIS REPLACED MY OLD ROYAL SHREDDER THAT I HAD FOR ABOUT 10 YEARS AND I HAD PUT THAT SHREDDER THROUGH THE WRINGER......IT SHREDS AND SHREDS AND RARELY JAMS AND ONLY FROM PUTTING TOO MANY SHEETS IN AT ONCE. ONE BIT OF INFO IS THAT IF YOU USE IT FOR A EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME, WHICH I HAVE DONE MANY TIMES, IT WILL GET TOO HOT INTERNALLY AND SHUT DOWN.........JUST LEAVE IT ALONE FOR A FEW MINUTES AND LET IT COOL DOWN AND IT WILL START ITSELF BACK UP AGAIN. LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SHREDDER AND THE TOP DIDNT COME OFF MY OLD ONE AND THIS ONE DOES WHICH WILL HELP WITH ANY JAMUPS ........THE BASKET IS BIG AND SLIDS IN AND OUT EASILY..........IT HAS A GREAT PRICE POINT AND IS WORTH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Working good so far.

I bought shredder in Aug. 2013 and was ask to wright review in Oct. It's now Nov. I don't use it a lot but checked it when I started this review. Basket was full. Surprisingly full. I looked at the cutter and it had clippings hanging from it. I put basket back in and ran it in reverse and it cleared most of the hanging chad (Ha. Reminds me of an election SNAFU). I Then vacuumed the cutter because I had the vacuum out. Today I am happy with the shredder. I hope I feel the same way in another three months.

Very fine product.

I went in Sam's to get a shredder and found this one and bought it. Got home with it and my daughter had to have one, so we ordered another one off the Sam's website. We love that you don't have to lift the motor to empty it and it is quite. We have to say, this is the best shredder we have ever owned!

Does not work as described

Very disappointed in that it says it will take 12 sheets at a time. It maybe will take 5. There is no warning light to tell you its heating up so it Jams quite frequently. I am shredding a large amount. I figure it will be fine for every day stuff once Im done. Scared to do credit card. Spoke with a friend who has one too hers does the same thing. For simple shredding this willl be fine. I suggest if you have a lot on a regular basis to upgrade.

Excellent shredder; good price

This is an excellent shredder for a good price. One plus that has struck me is how quiet it is. You can hear the sound of the paper going through better than the sound of the motor! It seems to be a strong machine and so far has taken in whatever I put in there. If I had to buy another one, I'd get this model again. I recommend it to anyone who needs a good shredder that isn't too costly.
