Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

This is by far the quietest shedder i have ever had. Works very quiet and at least as long as the 1hr continuous runtime. Micro cut packs much more paper into the bag than the old crosscut type.

Emptying the bin can be a little messy, but nothing to get concerned about. My old shredder set on top of the catchment bin. I'm emptying it into a 30 gallon paper lawn/leaf bag so i can meet my county's requirements for curbside recycling of shredded...  Read More

The quality of the shredding is great. It is tough and no jam. It holds more scrap and dumps out easier.

The cardboard cutter can be oiled using ordinary vegetable oil. With 8 or more sheets, the motor groans a bit. Recommend buying portable cardboard cutter for the purpose.



Cons

Shredded for more than five minutes at a time. On/off switch is flimsy, electric cord appears to be flimsily attached to the unit. Broken, stays on & running even when not in use. This is a defective shredder.

Gives me zero confidence in the company. After spending $125, tried to get extended warranty. Customer support is a joke- there is none! How amazon don't get rid of this company is beyond words!

This is very disappointing. One is bound to slip up. That is sad because it is nice and quiet. What a disappointment.
