Good Desktop Shredder for Receipts,
by R. Spoto, 2010-09-06
I purchased this shredder to replace an old Royal shredder that literally fell apart. I actually found it hard to find a shredder that was compact and cross-cut the paper. I settled on this shredder due to the feature set, price, and other positive reviews.
I noticed a lot of reviews about people complaining that they had to fold a piece of paper in half to shred it. It's pretty clear that was the case, and based on the size of the shredder I can't imagine why anyone would think it was designed to shred full sheets of paper natively.
This shredder is PERFECT for a basic desktop shredder. I use the shredder to shred receipts, credit card offers, and any other item that has personal information on it. That is exactly what I used my last desktop shredder for, and would imagine that's the primary purpose for any "desktop" shredder.
This shredder is compact, relatively quiet, and shreds just fine. The cross-cut isn't as fine as my last shredder, but it gets the job done. It has a safety cut-off switch, so that when you remove the shredder from the basket, it will not turn on. The handle folds down into the shredder to leave it with a smooth top.
One oddity I found was that it came with what I assume is some kind of cleaning instrument. What's odd about it is that the documentation does not mention this tool ANYWHERE. In fact, it even says not to try to clean out the teeth of the shredder. Weird.
My only two complaints are that the cross-cut shreds aren't as fine as I'd like, and when the unit is in the "ON" position there is a green LED that stays lit.
I recommend this shredder to anyone looking for a good desktop shredder for receipts and junk mail.
Great desktop shredder,

My earlier shredder was much more difficult to use, and easily got clogged up. This is really streamlined and simple. I need to remember to empty it on a regular basis - an easy process.
Boo!! You have to fold the paper,
by mattewing, 2010-08-16
This shedder works fine, but it's "mouth" is too narrow to fit a full sheet. So you have to fold a piece of paper before you shred it. Not a huge deal if you're doing a few sheets. But, it can only handle 3 folded sheets. So 12 pages takes 4 rounds of shredding and ends up being pretty annoying.
Otherwise, the shredder is fine.
Perfect for Home Office,

If you are shredding a couple pieces of mail during the week this is perfect. Just be careful, since there is no bag, and the pieces can get all over if you are not careful. Overall, great value!
Works good,

This shredder works good and is easy to use. For the money it is a good value.
