What's great about it: great value for price
What's not so great: gets stuck easily
Prior to this dirt-cheap little machine I owned a couple of the higher end appliances for destroying sensitive paperwork. I cut my fingers on one of them and completely locked up - beyond repair - a second one. Since there's only so much a small business can afford, I started looking on the lower end. Cheap though this little critter is, it does what it says on the paper. Even though I learned not to put more than three pages down the chute, it does work with five and it does take creditcards. Sublime value for the money.

I usually have to get a new shredder about every 2-3 years. This one seems to meet up to the task. Since I burn them up so frequently I only buy the cheap ones; that are cross cut, that is.

What's great about it: Cheap and effective, criss-cross shredding
What's not so great: Nothing
I asked the Best Buy associate for the cheapest shredder they had, and he gave me this. I do not regret it for a moment. It does the job of criss-cross shredding very well and I couldn't imagine what's so much greater about the more expensive ones. I definitely recommend everyone have a shredder, especially a criss-cross shredder like this. This product is highly recommended.

What's great about it: Ease of use, price, works
What's not so great: need patience to operate
Despite the negative reviews, I bought this shredder for personal office use. I am an author and own another business, so shredding is a necessary practice.
This shredder is fantastic. Words of advice: do not stick in 5 sheets of paper at a time; the shredder gets overheated and has a safety on the motor that will shut it off for 5-15 minutes causing it to appear broken/dead. Don't be impatient: this is a machine and no one likes paper shoved down their throats constantly. It DOES shred credit cards: stick ONE credit card in and then stick a sheet of paper in so the machine doesn't clog. Finally, don't stick in folded pieces of paper, this creates jamming and overheating. It shreds everything into confetti including small business cards and odd-shaped paper products. No cardboard shredding.
Cleaning the machine is easy. Make sure to unplug the shredder so fingers don't become victims. If paper gets trapped near the sensor, the machine won't work.
In one night I shredded over 5,000 pieces of paper along with several membership cards. This machine is simplistic and works great!
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Basic, does the job on paper
What's not so great: Others have had reliability issues
I needed a shredder because I had to reprint my state tax return and I ended up with 40 pages that had my SSN on each and I didn't want to rip them up manually. I've had good luck with Dynex products, so I picked this one up.
Shreds paper fine, I only do 3-4 sheets at a time and it doesn't jam. I have not used it for credit cards but some of the other reviews seem to indicate it has trouble with them.
Overall a nice shredder, good price, I have no complaints!

What's great about it: quiet, easy feed. works like a charm.
What's not so great: haven't found anything yet
LOVE it. I bought one at Target for the same price as this Dynex a few months back and it was horrible. Easy feed, fairly quiet with a large basket for collecting the shreds.

I'm writing this as I get ready to buy another shredder. This is acceptable if you're willing to feed a single sheet at a time. Otherwise you're better off stepping up to a more capable model.

What's great about it: 5 minutes of glorious paper shredding.
What's not so great: It's a dynex.
For a brief 5 minutes this guy was a shredding monster. He took credit cards like a boss, and handled the advertised 5 sheets without any problems. Then, after a glorious 5 minutes of working properly, he died. The air smelled slightly of smoke.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's not so great: Jams when shreading 1 credit card as advertise
This shredder is a piece of junk. I used it about 5 times and tried to shred a credit card and the card is jammed in it. Would not go in reverse either. It quit working and died. This is the 2nd shredder from this company that did not live up to it's name. I'm done with DYNEX!!!!

What's great about it: Cheap for cross-cut shredder
What's not so great: Jams easily with credit cards, dangerous blades
Despite the claims and the specific credit card slot, this shredder jammed up the first time I tried to shred a credit card. It was so stuck that I could not unjam it and had to return it. But because on sale it was by far the cheapest cross-cut shredder I could find, I bought another one and will only use it for paper, and not more than a few sheets at a time. So far, so good. Also beware of the sharp blades on the bottom, much sharper and more protruding than my last strip-cut shredder. Always unplug this thing before trying to clean it out!
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: good price
What's not so great: does not do credit cards
Small shredder for light duty. It jams when trying to shred one credit card. The description says it will do credit cards. Don't believe it. However, it meets my needs as far as shredding personal papers. I guess you can't expect much more from a $25(on sale) shredder.

What's great about it: Easy to set up, great price, efficient for household use.
Great for household paper shredding. It also shreds credit cards which I havent tried, but thought it was a great feature. I did find it to be a little loud, but cant complain much for the price paid. I have it set up in a corner in the living room, which has reduced the junk paper mail lying around the house. So overall I am more than happy with this product.

What's great about it: It chops everything into little square confetti.
What's not so great: The lip that you put paper under is sometimes not as easy as other shredders
This is a fantastic bargain as well as an excellent shredder/chopper. I've put a handful of papers in and it eats em up without a problem - even if I don't insert squarely. The bin underneath the shredder holds a plastic liner with the shredder top. My girlfriend uses the confetti that it makes for crafting. This is a perfect shredder for a home and perhaps a small business, but if you have a lot of daily shredding, I would recommend something that handles more sheets at a time and a bigger bin. Other than the lip that covers the entrance (keeps kids fingers out) being in the way when inserting paper, this shredder is a great deal.
