This is simple. You, I, WE all need at least one shredder. That's the fact, sad, but the fact nonetheless. Your identity is too precious to chance its theft when it is so easy to prevent identity theft.

This is a great choice if you are looking for a personal shredder of really good quality. It is a cross cut so no need to worry about security, the engine runs reasonably quiet and fast. I hope it is going to last for a good few years as the warranty is very good which says a lot about quality.

So far so good. Happy with the size and quiet nature. Has so far been able to handle everything I've put through it. Very happy with purchase. Do your shopping - price varies from store to store. No need to pay full price.

Does what it says on the tin. Decent build quality and had no issues with it to date. Shredding everything we have put through it.

When my old Shredder decided to give up I replaced it with this one. Good move as I can now shred multiple sheets without having to reverse and clear the feed.

Used it about an hour after receiving it and it's doing a nice job. Replaced a 15-year Fellowes strip shredder and am pleased with the cross-cut output. This one handles more sheets without bogging down and is slightly quieter.

Works as expected until it starts to get full, then you must hold down the lid for the motor to run. Evidently lid does not have a way to stay on tight and easily lifts when shredding rises.

Good value for price, works well, not too loud. The only caution is that the weight is all in the lift-off top component... so top heavy and may not be appropriate if in an area where kids may topple the unit. Otherwise, great as a personal or small office shredder.

Chews staples; paper clips and CD's

Good quality shredder for home or home office, I would recommend something stronger for an office. I tried to shred 1 piece of thick junk mail which was still in the envelope, and it quickly got stuck. It is pretty loud, two people in the same room could not talk over the noise of the shredder.
