Fast and easy shredder

We purchased this shredder two months ago. Before this one, we had a small, two-sheet capacity one that often overloaded after only a few sheets. As our company has grown, so has our need to destroy old documents.

The nicest thing I can say about this shredder so far is it's ability to shred up to 12 sheets at a time, even with staples. With our old one, we had to remove all staples before even attempting to shred.

Credit cards and thicker sheets of paper are also no problem for this shredder. We have been able to go for about 30 minutes before the shredder overheated and shut down. It usually takes about 15 minutes before you are able to use it again, but after the first overload protection shut-off, the use time is significantly reduced. After the first time, I would say you are good for only 10 minutes or so before it shuts down again. My advice would be to give it at least an hour to completely cool down or you'll become annoyed very quickly.

The only other problem I can think of is the amount of dust it produces. As long as you leave the shredder on top of the bin, you will no problems, but if you try to change the bag immediately after shredding, you WILL get paper dust everywhere. Wait 10 minutes or so, then change the bag.
