"Aesthetically Pleasing"
This product also comes in black, I wish I could of found it available for the same price here!

I tested the product. 1 sheet, 2 sheet, 3 sheet, 4 sheet, 5 sheet, than I knew better.

As ANY shredder goes, especially for this price, it will shred 7 sheets, but I personally wouldn't recommend it. This is not a big office shredder. Definitely for home use, or a small office. 3 sheets shred the best.

It has a child safety bar, so no fingers can get down in there, thats very nice. Also, when the shredder is lifted from the bin, it automatically powers off. Great safety feature for the kids also.

Shreds well. When you can see the paper in the window, empty it. It'll start to pile up and get backwinded. You could push it down too, whatever.

Makes nice little shreds, I intend on using them for hamster bedding.

Most importantly, to me... It is not only functional, but aesthetically pleasing. As a woman this is a high priority to me as silly as it seems. I didn't want some ugly office supply sitting around my house.

I guess the only con is that it shreds 3 pieces best, but WILL shred 7 papers. They never said how well it would shred 7 pages, I expected this though.

That and you have to check the basket when it gets full to make sure it isn't backtracking... also something I expected.

OH - The forward and backward button are a little mixed up. They mean the opposite, kind of. When it says forward it means the way the arrows going. You'll see if you buy it.

Great product, I like it.

"throw-away in 3 months"
Shreds great for three months of lite duty - then fails one week out of warranty. Buy a better one once instead of buying this one and then a better one in 95 days.

"Eats paper"
This works as advertised. Eats up paper, credit cards, and CDs with no problem. It looks pretty nice, too; doesn't look utilitarian. If I could complain about anything, it is noisy while doing its job. No big deal for me, though. It works great.

"great shredder!"
I bought this shredder about a month ago. I never had one before, but it was overdue. so, when it arrived I fed it with a stack of about 5" of paper, gave him little breaks to cool down, oiled it in between with those lubricant sheets, but basically shredded non-stop. it handled it without any problems! I found out that it's better to keep the amount of pages at about 3 at the same time, but feed it constantly. it's faster than shredding 7 pages at once, and the motor doesn't overheat as quickly (it stops working when it's getting too hot, so you have to wait until it cooled down again).

I've spent days on research, looking at shredders and reading all the reviews. this product had all the features I was looking for, the best reviews, and it also caught my eye from its appearance (which to me, as an aesthete, is very important).

all in all, after using it for a month, I'm very happy with this product. I use it daily for up to 10 pages, and I hope it will continue to serve as reliably as it did until now!

"Good price, good product"
This shredder is built well, and I haven't had a problem for the few weeks I've owned it, whether it's shredding CDs/DVDs or a few pieces of paper at once. Great for home, or fairly small business use I'd say.
