What's great about it: Micro Cut and the price
What's not so great: Nothing so far
Works well and extremely quiet compared to my old Staples cross cut shredder, micro cut gives greater security due to size of shredded paper, power save function is nice there is about a 2 second delay when paper is first inserted for the unit to start, then nothing but smooth shredding, have not tried the credit card portion but it shreds CD's very well, would buy again without hesitation, great deal compared to the overpriced fellowes shredders
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Fast, quiet, and the mico-cut
What's not so great: None to report
Bought this to replace an old crosscut that was towards the end of it's days. Nothing but positive experiences so far. Very quick, quiet, and the micro-cut adds even more piece of mind with identity fraud. I use it about two to three times a week, no issues to report.

Within the first few days, the shredder blew its internal fuse on a stack of paper well under 10. The system was not heavily used. The shredder is a huge let down. I advise purchasing one of the many other brands. Their quality can't be any lower

The quality and price were excellent. The shredder is easy to set up and the security gained from the small size of the shredding makes it well worth buying.

What's great about it: tiny tiny shreading. Handles at least 10 sheets.
What's not so great: Green on/off takes getting use to.
Got the cheaper model (nit™ 12-sheet Diamond-Cut Paper Shredder - Black) at first which DOES NOT work at all. This model does a nice job, can handle at least 10 sheets, credit card offers, etc and it cuts into little squares. Has "Green" on/off so it takes a second or 2 to start but once you get use to that it's ok. Wish it was $20 bucks cheaper.

What's great about it: Man is it Quiet!!
What's not so great: Plastic finish probably will easily scratch, but I'm the careful neat type.
Wanted a good shredder under $150.00 so I checked out the "office" stores in person/on-line and then on-line at Best Buy. This unit fit my needs and budget, so I drove 7 minutes to pick it up.
CAREFULLY peeling off the plastic left no scratches! Plugged it in and it's everything promised! AND SOOOOOO Quiet!!!
I'll remember what others said about credit cards, but the micro-cut for paper is the best!! I'm a happy camper so far. Took the extended warranty for 20 bucks - just in case, but so far so good!
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Secure document disposal
What's not so great: Doesn't shred cards as much as I'd like
Like so many other people, I am concerned about identity theft.
This device shreds paper into small pieces reducing confidential documents like credit card reciepts or bank statements, to confetti. This lets you eliminate documents with no worries about someone rooting through your garbage and getting confidential information.
It'll destroy CDs and DVDs as well, but I am not satisfied with how it shreds cards, but that's my only complaint. I use a pair of scissors for that.
The investment in this shredder is an investment in peace of mind. Highly recommended for home and office.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Very quiet operation, roomy trash bin.
What's not so great: Jammed during first use.
I liked the microcut but only cutting the credit card in half seemed silly. Very quiet operation. Shredder was a good size but on wheels that didn't seem to work too well. Too bad the shredder jammed during the first session of use and couldn't be reversed or unjammed. Returned the item to the store; will try once more. If it jams again, will try a different kind of shredder.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Works well on bills and heavy stock
What's not so great: Shredding credit cards is not too great.
I have purchased a few shredders over the years. I have unfortunately been lured by low prices and big promises. But then when I get them home, they don't deliver.
The Init 10-sheet Microcut shredder did not disappoint. It works well for paper. Although the products says it handles 10 sheets, I find that 4-5 pages (for bills) goes through much better. After all, bills are usually on heavier stock paper. But I was actually expecting this, so I don't mind.
The small slot is for shredding credit cards. But this only cuts them in half. I didn't think that was sufficient, so I ran the pieces through a couple of times. This is not impressive. My primary use is for shredding bills and bank statements (after scanning). But if you want to shred credit cards, try something else (like put them in the over on aluminum foil).
It also fits nicely under my desk.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: It is quiet
What's not so great: I can't think of anything
My last shredder was loud, but I couldn't justify buying another one because it wasn't broken. Well thankfully it finally stopped working and I got this shredder. I had to wait to get it because it was on order, but I waited because I read a review that said it was a quiet shredder. I also read a review that said there was a scratch on the top panel. Well it came and thankfully it is worlds quieter than my last shredder. It shreds into small pieces which I like and yes there were scratches on the top panel, but it under my desk so I don't really notice them, I just love how quiet it is. But wait, recently I read another review that said the scratches buff out. I tried it and they did, bonus!

What's great about it: eco savings, fairly quiet, shreds into very small pieces
What's not so great: had to buff out marks left by plastic protector but came off easily
When I pulled off the top plastic protector, it left a few marks, which look like scratches. These aren't scratches though, and can be buffed out easily... It took me by surprise though. I would rate 5 if weren't for that. Excellent shredder. Haven't had it long enough to judge reliability, but it seems well made, blades are heavy and cabinet is sturdy.

Designed to look nice, well packed, high gloss mirror back top had a sticky plastic sheet on it, but underneath were lots of scratches. Yeah it's a shredder, not a flat panel TV, but for $120 I expect better, and not someone to hide their mistakes.
I don't know how it works, I repacked it and heading back to Best Buy.
