    Customers are mixed about the quality of the paper shredder. Some mention it shreds paper with no issues, it's good enough to shred old gift wrap, and it shredding CDs and credit cards very easy. However, others say that it did fail to shre the papers, jammed, wouldn't shut off, and would only shred on one side. The shreddder makes long strips of paper rather than small bits, and has a weaker motor.

    Customers have mixed opinions about the size of the paper shredder. Some find it easy to use and store away in a closet or under a desk, while others say that the strips puff up and take up more space in the shreddder. The bin is small and does not hold nearly as much as they expected.

    3.0 out of 5 stars On The Fence
    Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2023
    This is my out of the box first impression of the shredder. I bought this for the sole purpose of shredding paper for crafting projects. So far it's a disappointment. The first two pictures show what the results were when I shredded old photographs. This has a capacity of four sheets of paper so since photo paper is thicker, I only use four pictures. As you can see from the pictures the shredding was less than great. First off, the pictures were pulled into the shredder at an angle even though I placed them straight. The edges were jagged and how a straight shredder shreds and an angle or a curve is baffling to me. I tried three different times and each time I got an unfavorable result. None of the pieces are even, some are curved some are jagged. Some of the middle pieces were straight but the edges were still not smooth. It will be more time consuming for me to go through each piece of paper picking out the good ones and throwing away the bad ones than it would be if I just take a rotary cutter and a ruler and just cut them by hand. Not what I expected. Maybe it's not built for anything beyond regular paper but I figure if it can shred CDs and credit cards, a few photos shouldn't be a problem. Next I shredded two sheets of plain white paper. I only use two sheets of plain white paper. The third picture shows what the edges of the paper look like. Not only did it wrinkle the paper, but it also didn't give it complete shred. The middle part of the paper came out fine but both edges came out looking like garbage. I will keep experimenting for a few days but I'm definitely saving the boxes for this in case I decide to return it. I got this to save time and make my projects easier. That's not what I've gotten so far.
