This is a great shredder. Very powerful and easy to empty. It's also really quite (for shredders).

Summary: A decent shredder |
| |
On the night the shredder was delivered, it took me no more than 5 mins to unpack box and set it up. I like the collapsible bin design, and it indeed greatly reduces consumption of non-recyclable plastic. I shredded about 5 years bank and credit card statements, and they filled about two 13 gallons garbage bag, fully compacted by my foot. The motor case even didn't get warm afterwards. I only tried about 6 pages at a time because I believe that will help motor from being overtaxed and should keep it running longer time. I did lubricate the shredder after every 5 full bins by several pages drenched with peanut oil. The curved feeding slot design is much simple and elegant, and does not require any "high" tech proximity gadget found in some Fellowes models. The overall noise is much lower than a Fellowes in my office previously. Regardless how fancy it is, a shredder is a shredder. As long as its noise level, capacity and duty cycle meet your needs, it's a good shredder.

Summary: Shreds nicely - small opening |
| |
This shredder shreds very nicely, and the basket is easy to pull out and dump (it would be difficult to put a bag in it, as it slides into a slot). It doesn't leave a path of messy shredded bits all over the floor like my last one.
Assembly was easy, and it doesn't look half bad next to my dresser (I was afraid it would look cheap, but is pretty fair). It is nice and small, so not as obvious as my older slightly wider model (which didn't really seem to hold more paper). My minor complaint is the small, not so wide, not so deep, opening. You have to direct the papers into it carefully, however, that being said, it keeps you from jamming it - so that may not truly be a negative. Overall I am pleased with this product.

Summary: Great shredder for the baby's room or nursery |
| |
If you need a quiet shredder for the baby's room this is perfect. It is very quiet. But as a shredder system it has its downfalls. It gets one star from me because it claims to be Professional. The word is in the title. It isn't professional grade. But it is quiet.
For a personal use shredder this might be okay. Especially if your use is very low. But for our office this shredder is just not easy to enough to use to make it a keeper. If it had a bigger basket, probably. Why not make it twice as tall, it could be done for under a dollar?
First, the positives:
1-The shredder itself is good enough, and quiet.
2-It has a small footprint, and it's quiet.
3-Could be stored in a cabinet and only brought out when Fawn Hall visits. And it's quiet.
Now the not so positives:
1-The shredder itself is good enough, but chokes on 12 sheets. This was day one. It shredded some files and did okay. And it's quiet.
2-It claims the basket holds up to 280 sheets of shredded paper. Here are the numbers to remember; 30, 20, and 10. Ours usually shuts down after 25 to 35 sheets of paper and you have to tamp down the shredded paper inside. The second time it does it after 15 to 20 pages, cause remember, the basket already has a lump of shredded paper in it. The third time it quits after 10 or 15 sheets, and it's time to empty the basket. That's not anything near 280 pages of shredded paper. But it's quiet.
3-The basket does fold for shipping, but because it's cheaply made and bendy it isn't smooth getting it in and out of the shredder rack. But it's quiet.
4-It claims to be a confetti shredder. If so, that is the largest confetti ever. It's a crosscut shredder, nothing close to a micro cut.
5-It doesn't like shredding CDs. It rejected half of the ones we put in it, just sent them back up. Destroyed, pretty well, but not shredded.
For a personal use shredder this might be okay. Especially if your use is very low. But for our office this shredder is just not easy to enough to use to make it a keeper. If it had a bigger basket, probably. Why not make it twice as tall, it could be done for under a dollar? And quietly.

Summary: Study, high quality and a steel for under $69.00!!! |
| |
Excellent high quality product that we have used relentlessly since receiving. How quickly papar receipts build up. Thank goodness we have shredders that can handle the loads without blowing a fuse or getting permanently jammed.
