    Great shredder for the price. I have been using it for a while and have no complaints. It is smaller than my previous shredder which makes me happy. Has your normal options: forward, reverse, auto. I use it at home so I don't abuse it. It should last me a long time. Louder than former, but not a bother.

    Small but mighty, this unit works very well. The unit has a handle for lifting the shredder off to empty contents. It’s a tidy little machine that can get the job done, including credit cards and several sheets at a time. Then I can tuck it away when done.

    Great inexpensive shredder! Easy to use and powerful for such an inexpensive shredder. Love the size and the simple design. Most of all, I love the price. Bought it online so very easy purchase from search until actually completing the order. Picked it up and that was convenient as well…..

    This shredder is doing yeoman's duty shredding old tax & financial info - a task done every year at this time. Helpful that the max of 6 sheets per shred is prominently posted. (Hopefully that means I won't break it as I have others.)

    I got this on sale and it has been great. Perfect medium size. It can shred enough for home use. It has not overheated at all while I have used it. I would recommend this if you need a shredder for home documents or smaller shredding batches.

    This shredder was purchased for $21.64 including tax. It was on sale for $29.99 and I used a $10 Best Buy reward certificate. I had to give this shredder 5 stars considering the cost of machine and the workload it has endured since its purchase. I have had documents dated all the way back to the year 2013 that I refused to just throw away because of the sensitive information contained on the documents. I've be filing them away with the thoughts of buying a shredder and facing up to the task of securely shredding the documents to protect my and my family's critical information. I saw this deal and figured that a crosscutting shredder would meet my minimum qualifications, even though I wanted a micro cut shredder. Boy oh boy did it do a good job! I and my three sons worked on this project. We took turns shredding documents that I vetted and set aside. We filled several trash bags over a 13 day period. I'm glad the task is over and I will NEVER let it pile up like that again! The shredder was great! It never over heated or stopped working. I will say that it worked best when limited to a maximum of three sheets of paper. Also, it was best to dump it when the basket was half full instead of 2/3 full. It does not come with shredder oil. Shredder oil is a MUST. I purchased some and used it when the motor seemed to slow down and sound less energetic. We shredded 8-10 years of documents using this shredder. I never thought it would make it but it did! I said to myself that I would get as much done as I could before it died. It has survived and still stand strong. I would buy it again. I hope this review has help. Good luck and God bless.

    Great compact shredder. Shredded my documents and expired credit card perfectly for home use. Don't try to shred more than 6 pages because it will ripple and possible jam. It does state 6 pages. Perfect for the price and home use.

    Smaller than the Royal I was replacing with a smaller basket, but seems to shred better and is more compact. Lift off top does not spill like the front pull basket on the Royal.

    Super easy to get started using. just plug it in and attach the lid to the canister. Has multiple shredding settings including forward and reverse so nothing gets stuck, much more convenient than ripping up for disposing of already read mail, junk mail, old paperwork etc. Not too big so it doesn't take up a lot of room in my home. Got a good price for it on sale. I would recommend everyone have a paper shredder like this!

    This little paper shredder is the perfect thing I needed to shred all my mail that’s just been sitting in a drawer somewhere . I do say it kinda gets jammed if you put very thick mail in to shred but no worries just press the reverse button and it would get un jammed for you . It shreds credit cards and long paper . I would definitely recommend this for at home paper shredding

    It performs its function admirably. I appreciate its cross-cut shredding mechanism, a significant improvement over the older straight-cut models. The price is reasonable. It operates very quietly. Its compact size allows for placement under a table, in a cabinet, or on a tabletop, among other locations. I highly recommend this product. I am a very satisfied customer.

    Our old shredder broke and we had to pick this up in a pinch and it's worked wonderfully! It's a small and compact size and really lightweight and portable. It can handle about 6 pages at a time and as long as you're slow and steady with it, it doesn't overheat easily!
