from Jim from St Pete, Fla, www.circuitcity.com
good shredder, but basket needs emptying often as it is small & fills quickly.
from R.L.P. from Desoto, TX, www.circuitcity.com

i haven't tried to shred a credit card with it yet, but as far as paper is concerned, it works quickly and efficiently.
from www.amazon.com
it shreds reasonably quickly, can do some mail without having to open it (though sometimes those stupid credit card offers can come in a rather thick envelope - don't try that without opening it).
from www.amazon.com
it does not always sense the papers right away though it works most of the time.
from www.amazon.com
i use it for occasional shredding so i expect it to last a long time.
from www.amazon.com
this shredder is efficient and easily shredds 8 pages at a time.

and as a word of advice to anyone getting a shredder for the first time, imho, don't be afraid to over buy: get a nice shredder such as this one.

the only time it jammed is when i tried to make it jam, by putting more than 15 pages through at a time.
from www.amazon.com
quiet, efficient, much larger pull out basket with an alarm that tells you when to empty it, instead of looking all the time.
