" ... It shreds well. ... I have not tested it to more than 4 pages thick, but its held up so far. ... "
" ... It arrived today and worked for a short time, but then stopped and started backing the paper out. ... "
" ... it hasn't jammed once and i use 10-12 sheets when i shred! ... "
" ... Very good personal shredder love the credit card slot too! ... "
" ... So far this shredder works great. ... I’ve been on a filing cabinet purge and have filled 7 paper grocery store bags with shredded paper and I haven’t had any problems with the shredder. ... "
" ... This shredder can handle more pages on a single pass and is quieter than my previous unit. ... "
" ... That being said, I do like that if there is enough of a space of time between putting paper in the shredder, it will shut itself off/stop running, so you don't have the hum just going non-stop in the background. ... "
" ... I really like my new shredder. ... "
