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.

    Comments about Staples® 12-Sheet High Speed Cross-Cut Shredder:

    I bought this thinking it was the "next step up" from my last shredder of very similar size. It was a lot heavier and felt more sturdy. But it just seems to stop a lot. Without jamming lots of papers or anything out of the oridinary into it, the blue ON light turns red and it won't start, unless I clean out the blades, which aren't even that filled up!! Additionally it is not clear where one should insert CDs or credit cards to be shredded - there is no special slot (as i had in my last shredder) and inserting into the center where paper would normally go does not work.

    I like this shredder very much and is looking to buy same shredder with a bigger bin to avoid emptying it frequently because it is kind of heavy.

    The jaws are heavy duty and shreds paper like "gobbling" it up.

    Comments about Staples® 12-Sheet High Speed Cross-Cut Shredder:

    Even though it is a good shreader, it lacks user friendly features. The bags get torn when you take them out since it has many pointy conections inside. The shreader is too heavy to lift every time you need to empty it. No roller costers that make it difficult to move. Overall, it was too expensive for the features it has.

    • 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?

      • 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.
