    Replaced an older model that had given me good service . The only problem I have with it is the fact it is hard to get the shredder to get ahold of the paper to start the shred. Once to get the process started it works great. I like the window in the front.

    I bought this on sale and it is reliable as long as you keep emptying the basket before it reaches 2/3 full. If you do not, the shredded paper will be sucked into the mechanism and it will shut down.

    It works fine, but it's pretty small so you have to dump it out a lot. Nice handle to pull the top off. So far, so go. I am not using its a ton, so I haven't run into a situation where it turns off for overheating. but it has that built in which so you don't burn the motor out. And it was a good price.

    Plug in and start shredding right out of the box. I have wanted a shredder for years but I didn’t want to spend a fortune on one, and I finally got this one, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with my choice. It is perfect for my shredding needs.
