This is not powerful. Spent the first afternoon unjamming it. That is why I got a new one.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: good price
What's not so great: Almost Everything
Bought this online 2 weeks ago and had it shipped to the local Best Buy. Pickup was no problem but this shredder is not worth the hassle. Within 5 minutes of shredding paper it overheated. You know overheating is going to happen frequently because there is a light on the top of it that tells you when it's overheating, just the fact that the light is there should be a warning that this thing is going to be trouble. The slot to put paper through is also very narrow. If the paper you're shredding is bent at a corner ever so slightly it makes it difficult to get the paper in. I would recommend this to people who only need to shred one or two things at a time and those who are very patient.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
