There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
It handles just about anything I could 'throw' at it: thick envelopes, credit cards, cardboard, TYVEK packaging, small bubble wrap... It does it relatively quietly and pretty neatly, too. Should something get stuck - a rare occasion, the simple reverse control gets it dislodged efficiently. It is quite mobile on the casters as well. The shred is a fine one so all safety concerns about the content are allayed.
One thing, however, you'll learn to not shred it to capacity, as the items need some room for the contents to fall into the receptacle or it won't complete the shred. Also, i find that the enclosed bags are a bit small; I use a 10 - 13 gallon trash bag to line the receptacle for an easy retrieval and haul of the shredded bits.
All in all a fine purchase for your shredding needs.
UPDATE: Although this shredder works very well, unfortunately one of the caster wheels has broken off the bottom of the cabinet. The basket and cabinet are made of VERY THIN and flimsy plastic. I literally moved the unit just enough to vacuum the floor around it and the wheel snapped right off. It's too bad they would make a shredder that works so well but then make the rest of it with thin, cheap plastic. Luckily, Amazon gave me a refund since I only owned this for a couple of weeks.

I am trying to be as green as possible and in early retirement I have been shredding a lot of old work related documents as well as my daily i newspaper and as much of our lockdown delivery cardboard as fits through the shredder.
First impressions: It arrived as predicted within 48 hours and was well packed and Undamaged.
As described by others the Castors look fragile and are not free running even after lubrication.
It was bought to replace well used (10yrs+ ) but jammed and burned out high end domestic Fellowes machine with a easy to empty basket. ( see comparison in photo ).
I am using the plastic bag that came around it in the box, it was also supplied with a single bag inside as well. Buying commercial see through polythene shredder bags will be convenient but they cost 16p each and won’t biodegrade.
I oiled the cutter blades before use.
Performance after filling one bag to brim:
Noise - much, much less noisy than my old machine and more pleasant pitch - you could work in the same room.
Capacity- 20 mins continuous use including up to 16 sheets of professional magazine shiny paper, several i newspapers torn in half lengthways, amazon cardboard book delivery cartons folded double thickness to full width (22cm)
I didn’t try it on copier paper.
The cooling fan comes on while in use but at no time did it run over after finishing shredding an item.
As reported by others, for security purposes, the chads are wider than other machines but for composting this does not matter. I suspect this also the reason for its quietness and speed.
It cross cut the newspaper much more effectively and therefore the shreddings sat down in the bin more easily. As a result I got a lot more in the bag than my old machine.
I try not to compact the shreddings as that defeats the speed of compost making.
Speed: for home use it was comparable to the old Fellowes and for a once a day session I am content
but you cannot fill an auto feed and walk away.
There was a slight delay on both starting and starting to reverse - this might be a good thing. It stopped 2 seconds after the cutters cleared. It stopped automatically on the first fill but I am not sure if that is a feature.
Ergonomics: it’s lower than the old machine but the slot is same distance from the front. This made it more of a strain to feed it while standing but it’s shape and size and the (careful use of ) the castors mean it would be ideal for sitting under a desk.
The bag sits over the rim at the back and sides and I did not have a significant spillage, the clips at the front are a bit fiddly but once you master the technique it clips in and prevents leaks at the front.
I would not want to tip the shreddings straight from the bin into a plastic bin bag as the plastic felt quite fragile and the rectangular shape would not fit easily into the bag for a second fill and protruding plastic lugs would tear the bag. But transferring shreddings form the transparent bag to another bag was pure dead simple.
Reliability: no comment
Excellent first impressions. If it lasts then it should be more than adequate to supply my Allottment with brown material to go with the kitchen waste and grass clippings
