    If you just need a small, inexpensive shredder for home - for the mail you don't want to throw in trash - this is perfect. Affordable and works great for average user.

    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.

    I am giving this 5 stars because of how well it works for its price range (purchased on sale about $30). I ran quite a bit of paper through it the first week i had it. I tried to keep the amount at one time to 3-4 sheets because I was feeding it nearly continuously. At times it seemed to be warming up, so I simply waited a couple minutes. I never reached the point that the overheat warning light came on. The reverse switch worked well the one time I jammed it. Now that it has survived my bulk shredding, it should be excellent for the smaller shredding jobs it is designed for. I've had no problems in the first month I've had it.

    When my existing shredder stopped working after about 1 year, I found this bargain at Best Buy. I shredded all the pages I had saved up in just a few minutes, a couple of sheets at a time. I did have to wait for one cooling off period. Have also shredded some credit cards successfully. So far, so good!

    I bought this shredder today and managed to shred 16 years of tax forms. I filled four 13 gallons trash bags with all that paper. It named a bit, but easy to unclogged. Given the price this turned out to be a good deal.

    Good crosscut shredder. Had it a few months and so far have not had any jams. I used to have a build up of documents to shred, due to my last shredder overheating and jamming. This one gets the job done.
