It worked fine, but the largest nylon gear inside stripped. Replacement would be rediculously easy, but replacement parts are not available. <br/><br/>The shredder is fine, but I wouldn't purchase again for lack of service or replacement parts. I wager the gear that failed for me is 70% of all failures for this model. We’ve had this shredder ~1.5 yrs – light use (credit card offers, cc receipts, cards).

It shreds ok, don't put more than 3 sheets in at 1 time. The cross shredding works, but seems to make the strips catch back into the roller at times. The unit will jam sometimes with 3 pages or less. For the price, I would look at other shredders in it's class before purchasing again. I’ve had this shredder for about 1 1/2 years now. It shreds ok, don’t put more than 3 sheets in at 1 time.

I don't think they all necessarily want your credit card statement, BUT it is unnerving to watch all those credit card offers with your name on it go in the same sack as a bank statement. All you need to do is watch the same garbage can for a while and you get enough info - credit card numbers, old bank statement, mother's maiden name - to open a new account. <br/>So I bought the cheapest shredder I could find -heck, I'm not Enron/the government/a tobacco company! I don't need the heavy duty stuff! <br/><br/>And it stunk. No power, no capacity and messy. <br/><br/>I bought this one and I'm thrilled. Relatively cheap, fast, built-in basket for waste and can go right through old bank statements. I think this is the right model for the adult who doesn't want to pay for a pro model, but just doesn't want someone charging crack on a fake Visa card.
