A little patience with the product and a wonderful price makes this small compact shredder a real bargain. I have had several bigger and very pricey shredders over the last few years and was never satisfied with them. The price on this model allows me to buy at six of them for same amount paid for last shedder that lasted only 14 months. Homedics Black & Decker 6-Sheet Crosscut Shredder (BD-61)
Although it says that it's rated for up to 6 sheets of paper at once, the motor sounds strained enough with 3 sheets that I've never done more than that. Still, you put sensitive papers in the top and they fall into the included bin as tiny pieces. It's never jammed or suffered any other kind of problem. What's not to like?
I have been needing a shredder for along time but good shredders are hard to find. Buy it and you won't
be disappointed!!! But don't freak out if it stops working because when the basket fills up, the top starts to lift even 1/8", the safety feature kicks in and you will need to empty it. Had it a month working perfectly!!!
It's small and compact, which is great because I don't have a lot of space in my apt. It will run for about a half hour before overheating, so it's something to consider if you have a lot of paper to shred, but you shouldn't have any problems with shredding the daily mail. I spent the better part of last weekend going through all my old stuff and shredded about half of a recycling cart's worth of shredded paper and it only overheated on me twice. Great little machine for home use.
"6 sheets" is pushing it - chugs along with 2-3 sheets being fed into it. i use it for shredding receipts and other misc. mail. if you are going to need a shredder for a large volume i would suggest a different product. - Home Shredder - Shredder - Fellowes Shredder - Paper Shredder'
