Pros & Cons
Pros
Worked well with backlog of papers needing to be shredded but respected the machine. Arrived well packed and on time.
Boy am i well impressed with this one!
Cons
Used for few months for general shredding. Just shredding receipts etc. Hard pressed to do 3 sheets at a time.
Reviewer had to go and buy a branded shredder instead. Spoke to amazon via chat and arranged a return, had to pay postage. Was told i would be refunded.
It is noisy and overheated after few mins use. Take plug out of wall socket and get electric shock from the plug. Broke within 2 months.
Highlights
Quality
It was very easy to set up and seems robust
It’s sturdy and paper eases easily into it.
Have removed all staples before shredding but it says it can shred small staples.
I bought this because my other one kept stopping every 10 minutes and needed to cool down.
Price
I am very please with this product and at such a good price too!
Fairly priced and definitely recommend as a good buy.
It is a bargain at the price & hopefully it will last as long as my old one did.
Amazon basics brand are good value for money.
Shipping
Arrived as promised and so far seems to work fine.
Packaging/appearance
I bought this to replace my old shredder which had just packed up.
Competitiveness
Just as good as any other shredder i've used in the past.
