This cool looking shredder is good for shredding the occasional bank statement, credit card bills and other small papers that you don't want falling into unsavory hands. Makes a great deal of noise like most other shredders. Would not use it for heavy duty shredding duties. Fits nicely into most decors so you don't have to hide it in shame.

      Great price ([$] on sale) and works well. Only complaint is that I would like it if the bin was larger (ie - taller) so I don't have to empty as often. Great value and so far works perfectly.

          No weaknesses found yet. Short ownership time is only reason I didn't give it 5 stars. I had a stack of papers to shred when I bought it, and it performed flawlessly. That is my only use so far.

            It says this model can shred paperclips but not staples, is this correct?

            • A:

              Not correct. The box and operator's manual for this product say it can shred staples.

            • A:

              Yes this model will shred paperclips and credit cards. It is on not recommended to shred staples due to the soft metal, they tend to bend not cut. Staples wrap around the shaft and blades.

          • Q:

            The shredder claims to have a 2 minute continuous run time but it stops every time a sheet has gone threw without extended run time. So the machine has to start every time a sheet of paper is shredded,is this normal because my last Staple's shredder ran for about 5 seconds in between papers. Do I need get it repaied or is this normal?

            • CUSTOMER CARE

              A:

              Oiling a shredder is recommended after shredding for 30 minutes, with a minimum of twice per month. To lubricate your blades, we recommend item number 602400. These oil sheets are inserted into your shredder like a normal sheet of paper, and will provide your machine with the necessary lubrication. To place an order for these products, please contact us by dialing 1-800-333-3330.

          • Q:

            When I began using the shredder it would shred for about 35 min. The next time it shredded for at least 25 min without stopping. I read on the web that it last only 2 min. Should I not let it run 25 - 35 min. I am afraid it might stop working if I don't give it some cool down time.

              The recommended run time of this product is 2 minutes with a 30 minute cool down period. It is recommended to allow this product to run longer than the 2 minute run time, as it could cause your shredder to overheat.
