    Bought this paper shredder and it has stopped working after 3 months. Even when I first started using it, it had a bad burning smell to it when you put more than a couple pieces of paper in it. As if it couldn’t handle it. Now it sounds like a typewriter and takes a long time to shred one piece of paper. At time you have to almost shove the paper in it like a mad man just to get it to recognize there’s something there that needs to be shredded. Don’t buy this one and spend more for s better one.

    It does what it's supposed to do but only got it because it was on sale - I wouldn't have paid full price.

    Works good with 3-4 pages after it will get stuck, although the product specs says 6 pages. But does the job.

    I wish the bin were a little larger and you could shred more pages at one time, but it works well and can shred CC's. That's a plus for me.

    Not a fan of the product's design, it's somewhat inconvenient having to remove the full top lid to be able to dispose of the paper shredded.

    I purchased this shredder thinking it would be a good buy. The first time I used it the paper would not feed into the shredder. You have to force it to feed it through and it will not feed through the entire length. It will only feed through half of it. I looked online to return it and it was two days past the return date. I bought it on Jan 6th and the return date expired Jan 21. I wish I would have used the product as soon as I purchased it. I thought buying an office product through Best Buy would ensure better quality than what I received. If you do purchase this item PLEASE use it within the first few days of purchase so that if you experience this problem you will be able to return it.

    Get what you pay for. If it breaks I’ll just trash it and get another one. For the money paid I didn’t expect much.

    After minimal use, the shredder did not work and I discovered a plastic piece on the inside was broken The motor works, but the broken plastic piece no longer engages the motor so it does not work. I am very disappointed in this product.
