After using this shredder on and off during the past 5 weeks or so, I can say that it has worked very well. And is faster than the previous shredder it replaced. I didn't keep count of how many sheets of paper I shredded in this time. But it filled up about 5 kitchen garbage bags (16 Gal). Possibly 1000 - 2000 sheets or so.
For the most part I shredded them 4 at a time. It is rated for 8, but to keep the shredder moving faster and probably to allow the motor to last longer I did it at half capacity. Staples are no problem. It is still a noisy machine. It would be nice if manufacturers could reduce the noise factor.
The bucket is kind of small in my opinion. It fills up after about 50 sheets shredded or so, without starting to push down on the paper that is inside already. Emptying out the bucket so often is a bit inconvenient, but I guess it gives the machine time to rest, before you continue the shredding session.
It will shred continuously longer than the description says. May 8 to 10 minutes of shredding. Then the overheat sensor kicks in and stops the machine. I let it rest for the 30 mins it recommends. And has always worked again for another session.
I found that the ideal shredding position for this particular machine is to have it on a desk, as you sit at it and shred at that angle. The papers go in much better at that angle then when the shredder is on the floor and you lean down to shred, due to the design of the entry point for the papers. In any case, it's more comfortable to shred in front of you than leaning down, for me.
The auto feed sensor is only in the center of the paper feeder. So for small pieces of paper, you always have to feed them through the center.
This is my 3rd or 4th shredder. One thing I have learned about these machines is that they do have a limited lifespan. Eventually they all slow down, wear and tear and then die. On average they tend to last me about 5 - 7 yrs or so, probably. And I don't use them every day. I tend to wait for a full trash bin to be full of shred ready papers, then I do a session. The last shredder I had I did grease it as it slowed down. That helped a bit. But do not spray grease them from the top as they are sitting in their bucket! the fumes accumulate inside the bucket, and they will explode once you start shredding! Instead grease them from underneath, outside of the bucket. let the fumes dissipate.
On some reviews of other shredders people say they might turn on by themselves if left plugged in to AC outlet. By habit I always unplug the machine when not in use. I think this is a safe measure, just in case. And it also prevents 'vampire' electricity drainage, as many electronics suck electricity even when they are 'off'.

La única desventaja que le he encontrado es que el instructivo viene completamente en inglés, lo cual pudiera ser un problema para una persona monolingüe. De ahí en fuera, lo recomiendo ampliamente. La relación precio-calidad es muy buena.
