Quality product with plenty of power. Runs a little noisy compared with smaller units. Much of this noise is coming from the plastic bin. It would be nice if the bin capacity was increased (cuts off with lots of space left). Another design consideration would be to create a better way to attach bags in the bin.

After using a cheap shredder for 5 years I needed a replacement. This one looked promising with the 18 page capacity, large basket, anti jam, and overheat function. After 9 days, the shredder would no long function. The anti jam light stayed on and it would only run in reverse. I called and was told you can't shred envelopes because of the glue. Nowhere in the user manual did it say that. Gee, the cheap one was able to shred envelopes for 5 years? It was returned.

          So far this works well and I have no complaints. As soon as I got it I loaded 18 pages to make sure it does what it says and it handled the 18 pages easily with jamming and has not jammed in the week I've had it.

          This stredder is 25 months old. Worked fine until last week when it just died. Won't even turn on. The blue power light just flickers for a few seconds and goes out. Did all I could to fix it, and maintained it well, including using lubrication sheets, etc. I would expect a longer life from such an expensive shredder. I had a cheap one before this that lasted for 10 years.

              It sounds like the machine is broken, I suggest returning it if you are still within the return window. If not, consult the manual included to call for warranty service.

          • Q:

            How does the shredder empty? Can the basket be emptied without moving the shredder itself by simply pulling the basket out? We want to place the unit under a counter.

            The antijam light comes on regardless of the number of sheets I try to feed. I can usually override it with the forward button but it is inconvenient. Is there a "home maintenance" fix?

            Why does the "Full" sensor come on when the bin is only 1/4 full? Does this mean the shredder is faulty? Where is the sensor located inside the unit anyway?

              The bin sensor is top, back of bin and gets hit when papers pile up towards back. Just mash em down n keep going.

            • VERIFIED BUYER

              A:

              The way that the paper falls in the bin causes the sensor to activate. Just shake the bin to settle the paper and it should be good for a while longer.

              Happens to mine also.
