Update: 1 year later, still going strong!
Recently moved in with someone who is a bit of a paper hoarder - or was, until we started shredding. Long story made short: man living alone with hectic job schedule never threw any paper away - so receipts, bills, etc - all kept for over 5 years and just piled into bags and left sitting. Over the course of several weeks, he sorted through it to be sure it was all trash, and I started shredding. I ended up with EIGHT 33-gallon trash bags full of shredded paper. This little shredder powered through it all, even after being over a year old!
Tips: You have to give this thing a break now and then, and don't overload it. It's not a commercial shredder and can only take up to 8 sheets at a time - and I've found 8 sheets is often too much, so I don't do more than 3-4 sheets at one time.
Buy the Amazon Basics Shredder Lubricating/Cleaning sheets & run one of them through the shredder after you empty it 2-3 times to keep the blades sharp & running smoothly.
For an inexpensive shredder, this has been a great addition to my home office, and turned out to be a real workhorse, which I wasn't expecting. Definitely recommended.
However, even though the product came in great working condition, the little plastic window on the basket was broken. The Amazon box as well as the box that the product arrived in were not damaged at all. I tried reaching out to customer support from the manufacturer but received no response. Amazon would have been very helpful with returns but I felt it a waste of others' time and resources to ship back an entire working shredder when it was just the basket. Still rather disappointed it arrived broken.
Overall, I am very impressed with this product's functionality and it seems like this shredder should stand the test of time.

When i chose this one I chose it off price and supposedly size. This one is smaller than my last shredder and much louder. It is shredding for it does not seem to have the ability to shred more than 2 pages of paper at a time as it slows down. I am not sure about shredding a credit card in here, that may kill this unit. I was hoping this unit would handle a few sheets as described but it seems these units are simply less and less of a shredding machine than in years past. I do not see this unit lasting much more than a year even under minimal use. I seriously was simply considering to pay the $1.99 per pound price and take my papers to be shredded but I worry about my info being out there with a person on the other end shredding the info but it may end up being more cost effective in the long run as it takes a long time to get a pound of paper and to have it shredded for me for that might just be the way to go.
As I said, this works as it should but it is loud and not the fastest or seemingly the strongest. It will handle shredding home papers but do not expect this to handle shredding f a lot of papers or all day long

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.
