    • Cheap plastic, but good machine.
    • The smoke smelled like burnt plastic, so I'm sure some plastic bit in the motor melted down
    • When I opened box, everything was in normal clear plastic bags as it should be, but despite that I found that item was used before, there was small pieces of paper with text on blades
    • Which would not be an issue except that the gorgeous black plastic shows every particle of this dust as soon as it appears
    • The smoke smelled like burnt plastic, so I'm sure some plastic bit in the motor melted down
    • Flimsy plastic, a piece broke immediately right out of the box.
    • Plastic container is made of weak plastic
    • Terrible product design: flimsy plastic base; drawer extremely awkward to pull in & out, and cannot use a liner.
    • The bin is cheap plastic.
    • 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.
    • I'm using a piece of scrap paper on which I've drawn big lazy S's across the paper with 3-in-one oil.
    • n’t burn up.
