I’ve burned out 3 shredders in the past 2 years. This one is awesome. It has no problem with paper (even unopened credit card offers), and does an excellent job with cds and old credit cards. Small enough to fit under the cabinet…this thing is a real workhorse!! Does everything it says it will; Quiet. Not too large a unit, but good size paper bin which is easy to empty. I didn’t realize what crummy shredders I have had until the last one broke, and now I’m happy it did because this one is so much better. It shreds several pages at a time, and handles credit cards and cd’s without strain. The only flaw is that the plastic casing on which the shredder unit rests is flimsy, but this doesn’t detract from its function or appearance. Time will tell if it affects durability.

This shredder does an excellent job of turning your important or sensitive documents into useless confetti. Throw in some meaningless text documents or spreadsheets and you make it harder still for anyone to put things together again. The only problem I have with this item is that the top is so heavy, and the sides so flimsy, that when you remove the bin the top bends the surrounding can a little bit, making it hard to slide the bin back into place. Particularly if on any type of non-hardened floor. Also be sure when you first install the shredder that it “snaps” onto the can all the way around.
