I previously owned a shredder from a different company which was supposed to shred 6 sheets at once. It did NOT. It could barely shred 2-3 sheets at a time, and the thing constantly stopped due to overheating. It totally quit working after about a year & a half. I purchased the Sentinel as a replacement. So far (one month) it works GREAT! I feel confident it will continue to do so. Obviously, this is not an appropriate shredder for a busy office. But for home use, it's perfect. Easily shreds 3-4 pages at a time, and has not clogged at all. Easy to empty, and the grinders can be emptied fairly well, leaving only a small number of shredded pieces behind.

I was looking for an upgrade for my home needs. I find this shredder fast although a little noisy. It does a great job.

I was looking for a deal when I bought this so I can't complain too much. It definitely does everything it says it does. Very powerful shredder, great for use at home. I wouldn't recommend it if you shred on a daily basis or a large amount at one time. A few things I thought of was the trash bin does NOT slide out.. it needs to be taken apart, there is not indicator that alarms when the bin is full, and it's pretty loud. But does have a powerful shred.
