This worked great for 8 years, but the cheap, plastic power switch just broke

What I found was that the cheap plastic mechanism that activated the switch allowing the shredder to run in the forward direction was shot.

basket is cheap plastic but for the rpice if youarent shredding all day long is an OK choice

However that cheap plastic handle keeps pulling out and now it's broke

If the plastic is even slightly warped, or otherwise out of alignment, the shredder refuses to run

I removed the damaged plastic pieces and conducted my own repairs overriding the switch

To me it's just a piece of wasted metal and plastic

The plastic bin warped which caused the shredder unit to not sit correctly, which in turn did not allow the safety sensors to align.

The plastic was damaged in my unit.

Cheap plastic

This shredder's paper sensor is made of cheap plastic that is easily broken.

It also would be nice if the base was made out of sturdier plastic

The shredding unit is very good, but flimsy plastic container makes it like a cheap piece.of equipment.

I'm now looking for something with a sturdier and more uniformly shaped plastic bin - ideally with a slide out bin.

Otherwise, it works very well with shredding several documents at a time and thick plastic like credit cards, etc

The build looks uber cheap- plastic casing of the blades and the motor seems like it’ll disintegate if you look at it

The plastic switch the paper has to engage when you put paper in it broke-off, so the shredder doesn't function anymore except in reverse

We use a cheap, thin plastic bag and replace it when full.

I noticed it stop taking the paper as fast as it once did, so I took it apart.

Works as I expected.

My replacement showed up a week later and it's died as

Its quiet, thats a big change.

Once it cools down I am thinking it
