    • A pitiful machine.

    • The machine struggles with more than 3 pages and will shut down quickly if I insist on 4 or 5 pages
    • The machine wasn't hot at all
    • This is a great machine
    • Went back to shred more a couple of hours later and the machine was working as normal.
    • Very good and excelent machine
    • At it's best, the machine will only shred approximately two dozen single sheets of paper before it shuts down from high heat
    • Cheap plastic, but good machine.
    • a simple credit card offer envelope completely jammed the machine.
    • The only problem is that even though this machine is capable of shredding credit cards, for some reason it simply cannot handle the Amazon Prime credit card that was sent to me unsolicited, which is now stuck in the machine and making grinding noises.
    • It seems to be a pretty solid machine despite the negative reviews
    • The machine does not like disc or credit cards

    • OVERALL IT IS A DECENT WORKING MACHINE.
    • It's a great machine!
    • Amazing machine
    • must admit that I haven't ever applied any kind of oil (my mistake)...recommend this machine highly...and if I can't get it unstuck in a day or two, I will order another.
    • Compare to others that i had, this has to be the perfect machine
    • Good machine.
    • This machine requires a gentle touch - "fusses" at the operator when attempting to feed the shredder with too many pages (5 or 6)
    • The machine is sturdy, has a pretty, blue on light, an off switch & reverse
    • However, if you have patience and the time to spend on loading a large stack which has accumulated over times, then this machine will work for you
    • Though labeled under the AmazonBasics banner, this seems like a well made machine
    • After many months and piles of household shredding it has proven to be a very good machine.
    • Great machine.
    • I love this machine.
    • Machine clogged and stopped the first day of use.
    • Machine worked perfectly without a hitch with high volume use
    • this machine works well
    • Sound like the machine is eating itself:)
    • Throughout these years I've done a lot of shredding, taking care to not overload amount or time used in one sitting and this machine has served me well.
    • So thanks, Amazon, for breaking your own machine.
    • Awesome machine!!
    • It's a great little machine for the money.
    • GOOD MACHINE FOR THE PRICE
    • Good machine, like the micro-cut feature the best
    • I agree with reviewers who say it's not an optimal 8 sheet machine
    • great machine when it worked
    • I believe that this machine can handle the needs of any normal household and am completely satisfied with this purchase!
    • Works as stated revci on time great machine for the money .
    • I can trust this machine to make it impossible for anyone to try and get the information and try to use it to take my identity or to see any bank statements
    • Great machine!
    • After buying less expensive machines that jammed and only took a few pages despite the claims, we love this shredder.
    • This failed as of about seven light-duty months on the job, probably as a result of a defective switch or wiring
    • I also try to limit the number of sheets to 4-5 max as I get a lot of jams
    • It does the trick and works as it should.
