Customers are saying

We had a good run...
It was well worth the money at first. Very quiet and the bin was large enough for shredding paper around the house. The bin had a semi clear front so you know if it needed to be emptied. It was able to shred credit cards and CDs as well.
About a week after the warranty expired, the shredder would easily overheat...had to wait until it cooled down to continue shredding. Next thing I know, the paper kept getting jammed or it would pull down at an angle and kept getting stuck. I found out that a small piece of the metal roller got bent. Kind of funny considering how I always take out any staples before shredding it, so the rollers had no excuse!
It was good at first, but now, I wished I had saved that money and bought another brand.

Not an office product, excellent for the home.
There is a reason that there are such things as professional shredding services. This can handle 12 sheets of pretty standard printer paper not a problem, and yes the motor bogs down when you put 12 sheets in. Its an electric motor and that is how they work. If you are a lawyer trying to offload your files this is not a good product for that purpose. At home when you want to shred bills and the such, this is an excellent shredder. It can handle credit cards, cd's, and staples with ease. I tend to pass about 4-5 sheets at a time through and it handles them wonderfully.
It does a diamond shape cut. Not sure what else people are looking for here. If you want something 100% destroyed throw it in the fireplace.
The basket is large and can handle a good amount of shredding. Spent about an hour shredding bills and documents (not constant but with maybe 15-30 secs between shreds) and it handled it fine with no overheating or jamming. Also an excellent note is that when you pull the basket out there tends to be very little left hanging and it all stays in the basket so there is almost no leftover diamonds floating about. Very easy to empty.

Quality Disappointing for a Pricey Item
I was surprised by the bad quality of the container (the basket that holds the shredded paper) - it's a very light plastic that feels like I can crush or bend it from just handling it (and I have small weak hands). After having used a solid Staples shredder (solid, hard plastic container) that I paid less money for, I expected better quality overall of this entire Init shredder for the expensive price. The top part (the motor) is very heavy so I am not sure how that will work on top of the weak plastic container. I didn't trust that it would work so I immediately returned the Init shredder to the store without using it. It looked and felt too cheap for $114.
To be clear, my review is not about usage since I never used the item (hence I could not give good rating regarding effectiveness, ease of use and reliability), but my review is about my dissatisfaction and disappointment with the look and feel (question sturdiness) of the unit for the expensive price. I searched and purchased another space saving shredder for less money with better features - and it has a solid, sturdy plastic container and operational features that I am, so far, pleased with and expect for the price.
