handy shredder This shredder does what it was advertised to do. It is fast, easy, quiet and good for home use. I have not had any problem with it. I use it every day and hope to soon get all my backlog of shredding done.
Not A Cross-Cut Shredder! I missed that detail. It is fast, and inexpensive. But, wish I had understood that it isn't like my old shredder that cuts documents into little shreds. This has long strips coming out.
Great since the Shredder extends to fit larger wastebaskets! If you're looking for a home shredder that will do the job without costing you an arm and a leg, this is definetly it! If the wastebasket that comes with the shredder is "too small" for your use, simply apply "common sense" by putting the shredder over a larger wastebasket! Ignore all of these ho-hum reviews gripping about the wastebasket size by describing it as a "little shredder" that does "small jobs" which require "frequent emptying". Nonsense! The moment mine arrived, I took it out of the box, disgarded it's wastebasket and put the shredder over my larger wastebasket then began shredding! The shredder works fine! It's quiet and adequate for home use. For commercial use, go elsewhere. No problems here what-so-ever. Love it!
Great little shredder! This is a great shredder! I read the previous reviews and decided this would meet my needs. It is small, but not too small for what I needed it for, just around the house. It is very quiet also. Paper shreds great and I shredded one credit card that had expired and was really impressed with how well it handled it. I haven't tried the CD shredder part yet...but will when and if the need arises. For the money, you can't beat it. You won't be disappointed...I know I wasn't!
it is ok the shredder is nice to have for small jobs but dont over do it because i doubt it can handle it.
