    The shredder works well as long as you dont try to put 10 pages in it to shred at the same time. I contemplated taking it back but I don't really need 10 pages shredded at the same time. I guess for the money, its ok but would not buy this again if I had a choice.

    Purchased the item to shred my monthly bills and any personal information. Typically never inserted more than 5 pages at a time. We are 3 months in and it stop working properly and only shreds half the page very slow and it releases a burnt smell. Not worth price.

    I'm on my third shredder. The first two simply stopped working. It seemed like the gears stopped meshing as the motor ran but the shredder did nothing. Best Buy was true to their word and replaced the shredders no questions asked. My third one has operated without flaw and with constant use.

    This machine is suppose to shred up to ten pages at a time. I never put more then 3 pages at a time. Jammed often. Now it doesn't work at all and just makes a loud noise. Bought 9-11-23. I would not recommend it to anyone. This was for home use only and not used everyday.

    Don't order this shredder if you ever want to empty your shredded paper out of the bean. I ordered one, and I couldn't get the shredder to separate from the bin. So I took it back and ordered it again. This time it wouldn't separate from the bin, and the bin looked like it was breaking apart. I took it back and ordered another brand (Honeywell), which is working great.
