• Almost perfect
  This powerful, large-capacity shredder not only cross-cuts pretty impressive stacks of paper (with staples), or even credit cards... it looks pretty good, too. In a home office, especially, this is a good thing. The only knock is that the insert slot is a *tad* small. It BARELY fits regular size envelopes, and the slightly longer ones (that bills and junk mail come in) have to be fed diagonally. The unit itself doesn't need to be bigger, just the slot. Because the unit actually holds a lot of shreddings,... more info

• Piece of Junk
  I purchased this shredder for my mom and it died before 6 months was up. Spoke with the manufacturer and after answering a few questions and testing the shredder over the phone to determine if it was fixable, they readily agreed to send a new one and were very easy to deal with.

Sent back for refund via Amazon and ordered the Fellowes 77Cs and it is working like a champ. If that burns up I'll try the 450/460, then a different brand after that. Am a happy boy for now..
  I love the mesh... more info

• Not for anyone with kids...or is it?
  We purchased this shredder for the safety features (auto stop when fingers get too close) and I was very pleased with that function. However, we've had this shredder about eight months and it's now in the garbage can ready to be hauled off tomorrow.
  About three weeks after we bought the shredder, the plastic piece that activates the auto shut-off function snapped in half and became useless. So, we "trained" the kids to stay away from the shredder and kept it unplugged when it was not in use.
