    Small footprint. Capacity is OK for shredding routine home mail. It is not for shredding a large quantity of reports, papers and the like in a business setting. If it lives half as long as my previous shredder (25 years) I would give it a 5. Do NOT attempt to shred a credit card. Cut them up the old way using scissors.

    This shredder is both lightweight and strong. I have used it for expired credit cards with ease. It's easy to empty and its size actually hides how much it can hold before you need to empty it.

    The shredder works well. Debated between 6 and 12 sheets and chose the 6 sheet shredder. The size of the shredder was the determining factor. I have limited storage and liked the smaller size.

    I bought this primarily to shred junk mail that was becoming overwhelming, I hated throwing away loan and credit card offers with my name on them in the regular trash. It handles that just fine so usually I'm just doing a few pages at a time, the box says it can do 6, I test 6 pages and it can do it but it shreds noticeably slower So I would get something more powerful if you are wanting to do heavy duty shredding. The unit itself seems to be a high build quality but this is my first shredder I don't have anything to compare it to

    Compact handle is essential, making emptying the shredded contents an ease, who knew. Upon constant use in does get tend to cut paper in strips if you’re going to fast with your shredding. This only occurs on the most outer edges, indicating I was attempting to go too fast. I only wish it was quieter than it is. For the price point I can’t really complain, it’s compact, efficient shredding up to six sheets, and under $50 dollars for a crosscut shredder.

      Thank you for your feedback on our compact shredder! We are pleased to hear that you find the handle to be essential for easy emptying of the shredded contents. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the shredder cutting paper into strips if used too quickly, and we appreciate your observation that this mostly occurs on the outer edges. We will certainly look into ways to improve this in future models.

      In regards to noise level, we understand your desire for a quieter shredder and will take this into consideration for future product development. We are glad to hear that you find the shredder to be efficient in shredding up to six sheets for a reasonable price point. Thank you for choosing our product and for taking the time to provide your valuable feedback. We hope to continue meeting your shredding needs in the future.

    We really like this shredder. My only negative to say is I wish the top and bottom were attached. The top has a handle to use when lifting but it can be awkward to lift the whole unit.

    Easy to set up and use. Very efficient. The instruction is right about the overheating that the shredder would stop after constantly running for a while. So appreciate the heads up. Works as described. No complaint for this price point.

    Very efficient and easy to use shredder at a very reasonable price. It has smooth, accessible controls and the collapsible handle used to lift the motor housing to empty the trash bin is well designed. I also like that it will shred expired credit cards as previously I would have to cut them up into little pieces with a scissors.
