    Worked for one whole day. Shredded well, when it worked. Annoying design to take the top off and get shredded paper everywhere instead of a removeable bin. Spend $20 or $30 more dollars on a proper piece of equipment and avoid the hassle of having to return this junk.

    There is a long delay between when you put the paper in and when it is detected to shred.

    Really smooth operation than the older version I had. It is however not as robust in terms of how the number of pages it can power through.

    Two-to-three sheets - at best - will go through this shredder.... so tedious. It's noisy. The worse part, though, is the white powder that the shredder emits while chewing up the paper. If you do buy this shredder do it outside in your driveway... don't even do it in your garage. What a mess. A fine powder was everywhere on all our furniture and floors.

    Strong burning smell.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This machine smells like it's burning (a very strong smell) after only shredding items for a few minutes. My old 6 sheet one of the same brand never smelled like it was burning. I gave this one a half hour rest and it immediately smells like it's burning if you just put a few pieces of paper through it. It also bogs down if you put more than 2 sheets of paper in it. Look for another brand, don't buy this one. It's not worth the extra money for extra capacity if it can't even handle a few pages. Also, it takes forever to start working when you put paper in it. Usually shredders start immediately.

    Died in less than 5 months. Hardly used it and it just stopped working one day. You can hear the motor running but it won't shred. The blades don't spin. My previous shredder lasted me for many years! What a waste of money. I wouldn't recommend at all.
