User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars So far, so good!
This shredder has operated flawlessly so far. It shreds the advertised amount of sheets and seems to be fairly quiet as shredders go. I like the casters as it allows it to be pushed back into a tight space while not in use and then pulled out when using. It is also a nice looking piece of equipment that fits with our decor. I would recommend this unit and would not think twice about purchasing it again.
5 Stars Heavy Duty Shredder
I have owned 4 paper shredders in the last 25 years. This unit is beatiful and very rugged. The nice motor runs quiet and does not strain while shredding. The power on button is illuminated in blue. It can be a little distracting at night. It appears very safe if little children play near it.
4 Stars Great Shredder, but Extra Features are Useless
As a shredder, this thing does an amazing job … but their “paper-thickness” sensor is total garbage. It’s supposed to prevent you from overfilling the shredder slot, but it won’t even allow you to shred a single envelope with a credit card application. And as your document wavers back and forth as it goes into the slot, this sensor over-estimates how thick it is. Fortunately, you can disable this feature … which I did … and once disabled, the shredder quietly chews through what it should. I’d recommend it … but you need to know you’re paying for features that you’ll need to turn off.
3 Stars Shreds great, designed not-so-hot
This thing will shred your documents and other media no problem. My issue with the product is not the shredder, but what happens after shredding. For some inane reason, the bin below the shredder has two sharp plastic prongs that point inward into the bag area.
When you try to take out the plastic bag that collects all the shreds, those two plastic prongs tend to rip the bag. I like to stuff the bag pretty solid whenever the unit tells me the bag is full. The downside is that you can’t take it out without it ripping because of those two prongs, thus giving you a giant mess. I end up having to re-bag the special bag that is ‘custom’ made for this unit.
Overall the unit shreds great but is ruined by two idiotic plastic prongs that rid the collection bag. You’ll have to be careful taking the bag out each time, or just replace the bag when it is only partially full.
5 Stars Quiet Shredder!!
If you are looking for a good personal shredder for home use, this is a great choice. It’s a little pricey, but has many great features. It shreds 12 sheets per pass as well as CD’s and credit cards. It has two power switches and a system which detects when hands are too close to the paper entry slot resulting in the shredder shutting off; both of which are great if you have little ones around. It has very quiet operation, a feature I really wanted, as my last shredder would wake the neighbors. It is jam proof, has an ample shred bin and casters for great maneuverability. If your looking for quiet operation, this would be a good choice.
