What's great about it: average price
What's not so great: noise, messy, not clean shredding, paper left in blades
I intended to purchase an Init shredder that I had researched on Best Buy for rating, but 2 of them were out of stock. I bought medium priced Black & Decker, for reputation of their equipment and a 3 yr. warranty listed on the box. I could tell it was smaller can than one that had let go on me a week earlier, gears finally went. That one lasted 5 yrs, cheaper one, but cross-cut, and alot of personal use. This shredder is the noisiest thing ever, but aside from that, it is messy. It leaves pieces of paper in the blades, paper dust throughout. I not only had to dump it 2 times, just to catch up on shredding, but had to take paper out of the blades 3-4 times while shredding. I've only had it 4 days, just tried it 2 days ago, and it is going back. I will either wait for one of the Inits or will look elsewhere, and continue to look for one with a good reviews. BTW the 3 yr warranty is only on the blades, the rest of the shredder, including the gears are only 1 yr. This is deceiving on the box.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
