The cover of this shredder (where the cutting mechanism is) is very heavy and you need to use both hands to take it off. However, this is the best shredder that I have ever had and is more like a commercial shredder that you would see in an office than a personal one - it's powerful and fast but very quiet.
I love the fact that if you take out the red plastic key that it won't run (even if it's plugged into the electric). This is a great safety measure for those with kids or pets.
I love this shredder!

Be sure you purchase that warranty on this!!!Bought this 4/8/11. Already inoperable (5/13/11)
Will not take 12 sheets as stated. Tried this w/7 sheets of regular copier paper & a gear piece broke off. Tried it again w/7 paystubs and another gear piece broke off. Removed all staples & paperclips before shredding. After the 2nd breakage it no longer works. Will now have to go through the hassle of getting it replaced.

      This shredder works well, and is inexpensive, but it is a pain to empty. The top is quite heavy, and typically some quick vacuuming is required after every time you empty the container.

      • Q:

        I've had my shredder about a week. I had a jam, cleared it, the machine turns on but won't let paper feed through. I was told it's because there is a plastic tab missing from the receptacle it sits on, the plastic 'bucket' and that I should cut the cord, send in the label with model and serial # and get a replacement sent. I never saw a plastic tab and that explanation seems very odd.

        Is there some kind of 'reset' process I should know? Does the on/off switch under the machine matter and what is its purpose? How can I get it to catch the paper and let it feed?
        Asked on 11/1/2012 by Sally from NY

        1 answer

        • A:

          If there is a tab missing to hold this product onto it's container, then it will not turn on because it will not think it is closed.

        • A:

          Make sure the power cord is fully connected at both ends, check oon/off switch, power mode, etc, also plug in to a second outlet to see if that is the problem. If all checks out OK ,Staples offers post sale support at 800-425-0049 and guarantees their products. If the machine has no lights or power it needs some type of fix.

      • Q:

        I just purchased this item three days ago, and used it once. I was very happy with its performance and then the "overheat" light came on. I went on to do other things thinking it would reset in a few minutes. That was two days ago. The light is still on and the unit does not work. My employee accidentally threw out the box which had the manual in it so I haven't read if there are any certian proceedures that should be done once it overheats. Can you help me and also tell me how to replace that manual
