What's great about it: Practical use.
What's not so great: Cool down time is very long.
This product is awesome for the price. Definitely not as powerful as those very expensive ones but excellent for practical use. I shredded years worth of papers and it took me about 3 hours of continuous use of the shredder. Although it did shut itself down numerous times within those 3 hours of continuous use, this printer was not designed for the abuse I gave it and it still was holding its own. Although it can handle up to 5 sheets, it struggles a little. I use it a least once a day for junk mail and that's it and it hasn't failed me yet. I love the thing and highly recommend it if someone is looking for an inexpensive printer.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Powerful
What's not so great: Nothing
When I ordered this shredder, I figured it would be so-so at best due to the low price. Boy, was I shocked! This is one powerful shredder (even better than the one I use every day at work!). I actually put DOUBLE the amount of paper than it suggested just to see how it would do (dumb idea.. I know...), but I was pleasantly surprised to see how quickly and easily it chomped away at the thicker-than-suggested stack. Buy this-- you won't be disappointed (and it's super cheap! :) ) !

What's great about it: it works every time
I have never had this much fun in my life! This thing shreds like there's no tomorrow. I can hardly stop shredding--in fact I have shredded way too much. When I run out of things I need to shred I start looking for other stuff. Yesterday I even shredded a couple of dollar bills. I just couldn't stop. Buy one--you'll see what I mean. I LOVE THIS SHREDDER!!!!!!!!!!!!

What's great about it: nothing
What's not so great: very lightweight; labors with 5 sheets of paper
This shredder is very poorly made, although it does work. It claims that it can shred five sheets of paper at a time. When you insert five sheets it really labors. Lots of plastic.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Unpack, plug in and it was ready to go
Even though it says 5 sheet, don't put 5 sheets in at once. I only put in 2 sheets at a time and it works just fine. I needed something right away that would crosscut shred and this fits the bill. I read previous reviews before I bought so I wasn't expecting a heavy duty shredder. I use this at home so it is perfect for my needs.

What's great about it: Nice design
What's not so great: Overheats fast, doesn't handle well 3-5 at a time
For the price, it's not worth it - i had a pile documents to shred and it took me 20 minutes to finish a pile of about 100 pages. It shut off 2 times because it was overheating and it jammed 2 times during the process.

What's great about it: Compact, cheap, useful for light shredding.
What's not so great: Credits cards WILL jam it. Small waste basket. Stopped working.
Purchased this and used it for about 8 months. It works fine for light shredding, although the waste basket is on the smaller size, so if you shred a considerable amount, be prepared to empty that thing frequently.
It will jam if you try to shred standard size credit cards. And even thick mailing flyers or poster cards. Sometimes it slows down to a crawl and stops forcing me to play the "reverse/off" toggle game.
After about 8 months it all of the sudden does NOTHING when I put in a piece of paper. Then, about 20 seconds later it starts shredding. It was the weirdest thing! Now, it has totally shut down and doesn't work. Seems like the 1 year warranty is timed perfectly for its life expectancy.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: cheap
What's not so great: volume limitations
If you just need something to shred a few files from time to time, it works just fine. It doesn't take much to overload the shredding mechanism, but as long as you know the limitations, it is perfectly adequate

This shredder is used for small business and personal home office. It does the job. There is a thermal switch that will shut the unit down during heavy use, but as soon as it cools down, it will turn on again. For the price, it is a great unit. Shreds credit cards as well as paper.

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 would recommend this to a friend!
