    It does what needs to do, just like any other shredder. It overheated the first time after maybe 10 minutes of non stop paper. And thats ok, this shredder is not desing for on going paper. When overheated, it wount allow you to insert more paper, just give it maybe 2 or 3 minutes and shredd you go again. Overrall I'm happy with the purchase, we use at home.

    Shredder does an excellent job. Easy to use and since it Microcuts, the volume of shredded paper is way less than my older shredder.

    GREAT, I got this one to replace an older insignia one that last for 6 years, and I have to say this one is better. Better design snd better working. I did allot of grinding/shredding and it handled it easily with no over heating and I even did 8 pages at once and it smoked it. It is also great for security purchases, it cuts the paper up into little confetti like pieces. My highest recommendation.

    So far I've shredded about a half of a "banker's box" full of 24 lb. ink jet paper without any problem of over heating or jamming. I was careful not put more than about three or four sheets in at a time, but it went on shredding longer than I was willing to sit and stuff the sheets in. Also holds a lot of paper at one time and completely obliterates it as well. I'd add that the clerk and floor employees were very helpful when I was searching for for this item.

    We've been needing a new shredder for some time. We chose this model because of the features, the ability to roll, front pull out drawer to empty the material and the fact most all of the reviews were favorable. I did try to shred one credit card and wouldn't try it again. But it shreds quickly and without too much noise. We like it.

    The shredder was purchased to replace a ten year old shredder. The shredder is much quieter than my previous one and can shred more pages at a time. The smaller shredding slot designed to shred credit cards does not shred the cards very well. But credit cards shred well on the first pass in the larger paper slot. Revoving the waste container could be a little easier process.
