I saw this shredder on the "VIEW ABC TV" and said I had to check it out. When I checked the reviews I said that either these people are pushing this unit too hard or it's a piece of junk. Well I bought it and love it! I remembered the people at work stuffing improperly one of these commercial shredders that could eat a human. They didn't care. This little one has a 8 min run time abuse it you lose it. It's perfect for your at home business and is still running. Some people have no conception of what is to much. This is a small unit not made to gulp down the universe and two million dvds, and credit cards.
The view was right this unit is great for the small office with simple paper disposal and also just plain at home use.
It has 2 shut of features that are great when you have children. The main shut off on the front and the master shut off on the back which is out of site.

I was thrilled with the size of this product, and didn't much care about noise. The only issue I had at first was that the power button seemed to be touchy. There was no rhyme or reason; it would just power off, or I'd have to touch the button a few times to get it to turn on. After about two months of periodic light use, it just stopped running. The overheat light never came on, nothing was jammed, and there was no visible damage. When it is plugged in, it just won't turn on. I suspect that there is something faulty in the power mechanism. I'm looking for a new machine now-- and although I love the size of this desktop version, it's not worth the money in the long-- well, the short run.

Comments about Staples® Mailmate M5 Shredder:

I originally owned a smaller version of this machine and it just died without being jammed or overheated. It just didn't want to work again.The same thing has happened to the second, larger, version. It still will light a button when the power is on but it will not allow any of the mechanisms to work. Both models I owned for less than 6 months each. NOT DEPENDABLE! [...]

NOTHING IT BURNED OUT

Comments about Staples® Mailmate M5 Shredder:

If this product actually worked more than a handful of times it would have been useful. It is absolutely a piece of garbage. After a few uses I tried to turn it on and it was completely dead. I am out the money for it because I lost my receipt and disposed of the box. My loss....don't make it yours too!
