Only had it a few hours. Having saved lots of personal info I didn’t want to trash without shredding since my old machine died. I’ve gone thru enough for two bins. So far so good. I haven’t tried more than 10 sheets. It slows a bit on 8 or more, but works. I’ll likely keep my feeds to 6 sheets just to make it easy. Ran it practically non-stop for 30 minutes twice and no issues.
Does a real nice job cross-cut shredding. Seems to match its P4 claims on shredding sizes. Shredding unit itself is quite heavy. It rolls easily on the wheels it comes with though they are on the small side. After the first bin I oiled it and it seemed quieter. Maybe it needs oiling a bit when you first get it. It is fairly quiet in any case when running. Cord is nice and long.
I do think the lower part of the unit and paper bin are on the flimsy side. All a snapped together affair and the bin has some grooves/wheels to guide it in and out, but I wonder how well it will lock in place with more use. And you’ll want to handle it with care as it flexes just taking it in and out and handling to empty the paper. Seem like for the price this plastic part could have been a millimeter thicker and more robust.
I haven’t tried credit cards or CDs. I’ll keep staples and paper clips out of it. Why abuse your machine? I usually use some small bolt cutters on credit cards. Easy to snip into pieces. I’ll just shred paper I think.
Pretty happy, it is more powerful and shreds much smaller than my old cheap machine from Office Depot.
I ordered this shredder after returning another brand that did not live up the micro cut specs. It was more expensive than I wanted but had all the features I was interested in. It has turned out to be the best shredder I’ve ever had for home use. True Micro-cut, has a larger paper bin, wheels for easy moving and run time is longer that other models. Overall it has been well worth the price.
