    After having used a professional shredder at work, I realized I needed something to shred personal papers at home. This works well, although it gets overheated and shuts down quite often. I would recommend it, just be patient.

    I return an open box paper shredder that kept overheating and made it difficult to shreds paper. I purchased this device online at Best Buy. It's a much better product and doesn't overheat. It works like it's suppose to and its a great office investment. I recommend this device to anyone not trying to spend a lot of money and unsure of which paper shredder to buy. It's worth the money.

    The Shredder gets the job done. You will need to keep it clean after each use by removing the excess papers in the blades after each use.

    Smooth operation, handles multiple sheets with ease. Remember that this is a 12 sheet shredder and you will do fine.

    I bought this shredder because of the double cutting and # of pages at one time. It has met & exceeded my expectations.
