This falls under the "Get what you pay for" line. More than I've paid in the past, but seems to be well worth the money. A little louder than I'm used too, so if you plan to shred stuff in the middle of the night, I hope you live alone.
What's great about it: Does what it says it will do.
What's not so great: A little loud.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I got this for my dad during the holiday's because he has been wanting one for a while now. I purchased based on the more than ample amount of reviews which gave this product a 4.3/5.0.
For the price of $62.05 there was nothing that compared and I shopped around in many places. So far we have used it at least 10 times and it seems to work very well. Shreds many different types paper with ease and does not seem to malfunction in any way. It's rated for 13 though most I have put through at one time is 5. I ran through multiple CD's in a row and you though you could hear the motor struggling it did indeed shred them.
To date this is an extremely well valued product and is perfect for intermediate home use.
My biggest and likely only complaint would be that the shredding attachment does not clip to the waste basket itself. So when you go to move it you can't just grab the top or it will separate.
What's great about it: Ease of use and durability. Price!
What's not so great: Waste basket can't attach to shredding portion
I would recommend this to a friend!

Cuts the paper, shreds the paper and cards. HARD TO GET THE PAPER IN THE SHREADER! WAY TO HARD! You have to wiggle it in, force it in work it in. If it is a flimsy receipt, forget it, you need another piece of paper to feed it in.
What's great about it: Maybe I can sell it.
What's not so great: HARD TO FEED
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I regularly have a great deal to shred (proprietary documents for business as well as personal material). Tired of my old shredder that would overheat after 10 minutes of use, I was DELIGHTED when I was able to shred a foot-high backlog of material without stopping and without this overheating once! Works even better than I expected!
What's great about it: Doesn't overheat!
I would recommend this to a friend!

In the short time I've had the unit, I've used it to shred paper, CD's, and credit cards. It did so without complaint. When the basket is full, it lets you know. So far, it's been a good experience and a great purchase.
What's great about it: Works as advertised.

I bought this paper shredder with the expectation that it would last me for years. Instead it lasted just over two weeks before jamming. They claim it can shred up to 10 sheets at a time, but mine jammed when I was shredding mail.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Stop working after about 40 minutes of use, makes noise (of motor) but blades do not move. First peace was open box !!!!!! Did not pickup, had to go to other store to pickup next day. Now this do not work!!!!
I do not know whether this is a bad peace or not??
Even when it worked, makes a lot of noise. If it works, probably I would tolerate noise. At this price I expected a dependable machine.
What's great about it: Ease of use.
What's not so great: Stoped working after use of 40 minutes. At this price I expect dependable machine.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I love this shredder! It was a little more than I wanted to spend but it was definitely worth it. It cuts the paper in a lot of little pieces. It doesnt slow down with several sheets and it even cuts cards (credit, insurance etc.) very quickley and easily. I definitely recommend this shredder.
What's great about it: Its simple to use and does its job perfectly
What's not so great: Nothing that I know of yet...
I would recommend this to a friend!

This machine shreds into confettii. I love it! No more worries! The only down falls are that it is a bit louder than the last one I had, and when I go to empty it out...I take the top off and set it on the floor ,dump ,put top back on and there is a mess left on the floor. Other than that it works beautifully! I am VERY HAPPY with this purchase!
What's great about it: shreds to confettii size paper!
What's not so great: loud, and messy when I go to dump it out.

i've been wanting one of these bad boys for a while now cuz i'm so terrified of identity theft, after lots of research i decided on this cuz of the great reviews and the price. I'm so happy i chose this because so far its been amazing! i've already shredded 2 boxes of old bills and personal paperwork, i even stredded credit cards and those stupid plastics that come in with those annoying pre-approved credit card letters. i'm impatient so i have tried to stick 20+ pages in there at once, so it got jammed but i "un-jamming" it was super easy :) i love the reverse feeder as well and the clean is super easy. i'm glad i made this purchase.
What's great about it: everything
What's not so great: nothing
I would recommend this to a friend!
