This is a very good shredder. It is fast, relatively quiet, and powerful. I have not had any problems putting 16 sheets in--this shredder eats them up with ease.

This is a very good shredder. It is fast, relatively quiet, and powerful. I have not had any problems putting 16 sheets in--this shredder eats them up with ease.
Setup was pretty easy, but it was difficult to get the wheels inserted into their slots on the bottom of the shredder. You really have to push them in hard.
The only real drawback with this shredder is that there is a protective plastic film strip that sits below the opening. I presume it's to keep dust out and to also prevent something like a tie from getting caught in the blades. The drawback with it, however, is that it makes it difficult to shred a small number of sheets because it takes considerable force to muscle the sheets past the protective film strip. You really need to fold the sheets of paper in half first to get some rigidity so that you can insert them past the film strip. Also, because the blades are so far down in the top, you must put small sheets or credit cards in lengthwise in order for the blades to actually grab them.

I bought this shredder because I thought that it was nice looking and the specs on it read impressive, However when I got it home and used it, the bin is very small and doesn't hold very much which requires you to do a lot of dumping. The sensor doesn't work properly and the paper fills up in the bin past capacity which makes opening it to dump it out becomes difficult because it jams the bin. When you do ope the bin bits of paper comes out everywhere. I am so disapointed with this shredder.
Comments about Staples� 16-Sheet High Speed Cross-Cut Shredder:
The only bad "thing" about this shredder is that when pappers are shredded the bin does not fill evenly, one must constantly adjust the fill in order to to complete the shredding job. I do not know about other shredders, but I do appreciate the bags that can be put in the bin, I still would purchase this shredder if gven the choice again.

This shredder was bought as a gift hence the late review. However, I have been told it is "lovely" and works great. I hope this review is of some use to you.
Comments about Staples� 16-Sheet High Speed Cross-Cut Shredder:
I bought this to replace a Royal that just flat out quit. I have found it be very effective and easy to set up and use. I can shred several pages before I have to empty the bin which is fairly easy to do. So far after a couple of months of use I have no complaints although like most shredders it is noisy. When I first got it I used it to catch up on a lot of shredding and it just kept on chugging until I was done
Yes the Staples 16-sheet High Speed Cross-Cut Shredder does have the lockout key feature to prevent unauthorized use of the shredder.

Q:
Why does Staples make it so difficult to get information about this product - by not showing a complete list of Specifications as can be found for other printers?
Most notably, Security Level, Cool Down Time and Throat Width are all missing from the description.
Asked on 4/24/2012 by FerdBurfle from Here and now
The paper size after cust is 0.157 x 1.575 inch. The cool down time is 40 minutes and the throat width is 9 inches.

It is DIN security level 3. The cut size is 4 x 40, so 1 sheet of 8.5" x 11" paper gets cut into about 377 shreds. To place an order for this item, please contact us by dialing 1-800-333-3330.

Q:
What is the width of the paper slot (or throat)? I'm looking for a shredder with at least 9.5" to shred junk-mail envelopes.
