I bought this product, it's the 3rd for my personal shredding. This worked so well, then all of a sudden, it decided that it didn't want to work, but instead made a zing sound. It smelled hot, so I unplugged it and checked for any blockage. Nothing...It cooled off, and still doesn't run, makes a zing sound. I'm disappointed with this machine.

SO FAR I DO NOT HAVE ANY NEGATIVE COMMENTS TO REVEAL ABOUT THIS PRODUCT. IT IS EASY TO HANDLE, IT EASILY SHREDS PLASTIC CARDS AND STACKABLE PAPER. IT IS NOT TOO NOISY WHEN OPERATING. IT IS LIGHT WEIGHT AND IT IS VERY EASY TO REMOVE THE PAPER BASKET WHEN FULL.. A GREAT PRODUCT FOR AN INEXPENSIVE PRICE.IT IS SO AWESOME TO FIND A PRODUCT THAT ACTUALLY WORKS AND YOU DON'T FEEL AS THOUGH YOU HAVE BEEN ROBBED FOR AN ITEM THAT IS JUST GARBAGE.

Used primarily for receipts. When I started shredding pages of paper records, 1 sheet at a time, the motor overheated after about 150 pages. Never tried to use the 12 sheet function as I felt it may reduce the lifetime of the motor, did not expect it to fail this quickly doing one sheet at a time. My previous Royal shredder lasted about 5 years of medium duty use.

This shredder works well but you cannot shred a lot of paper at one time since it will overheat after about 10 minutes.

It is not as loud as my last shredder. It cuts a lot more sheets and runs smoothly. I am very happy with this purchase.

No problems

Would recommend

Glad I bought it .

. The product works as advertised. The major problem was that the plastic parts were not fully cured causing a noxious odor that was easily detected throughout my home. I put the parts out in the hot sun for 3 days. the sun drove out the offending chemical(s) to the point where I decided to keep the product instead of returning it. To cut costs I suspect the maker quickly boxes the unit before allowing a full cure to eliminate the noxious odors.

I don't know how this shredder had 4 stars rating. I pay attention to the reviews before I purchase. This machine is very overrated. It can shred only 8 pages at a time, at best, when papers are of low quality. In addition, it is very loud and will disturb other near you. I have always bought Fellows shredders and will continue to do so. Good luck.
