Comments about Staples M5 Mailmate Shredder:

I have a home office and plus all the junk mail i get this shredder is a work horse. I am so glad I bought this. The bucket is a little small but for the home user it's perfect. I also shred allot of disks and this shredder chews them up like nothing. Once you put something in you'll never get it back so be careful of what you shred in this shredder because you'll never see it again!

Comments about Staples M5 Mailmate Shredder:

A great product with one small drawback - if you don't empty the bin soon enough, it will pack the shredding in like a brick (yes, it's that powerful) and at that point you will never get the bin out.

Comments about Staples M5 Mailmate Shredder:

I needed a small shredder for my office, but this was just too small. More for the housewife that occasionally likes to shred an envelope here and there. A standard 8x10 piece of paper has to be folded to fit into the shredder and the button on top has to be pressed every time. My unit broke after a year -- conveniently after the 1 year warranty expired.
