    4.0 out of 5 stars Works great for the money
    Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2023
    Shredder works great and I very much enjoy the safety features. I appreciated everyone else's notes on the small safety sensor at the bottom in case I run into trouble down the road. The product isn't terribly heavy like other shredders I have had in the past and I can easily store it under a desk or behind a door.

    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.
