Pros & Cons
Pros
We're very pleased with this shredder and hope it will last as long or longer than our older unit. It has a 1 year manufacture warranty, but adding a 4 year extended warranty sounds like good insurance if you use it often. Highly recommend it.
The wheels roll nicely. Wheels roll smoothly (they come locked so if you can't push it, check that! This model is comparable in size and weight. It's also relatively heavy and substantial. Is a large unit.

Packaging/appearance

Competitiveness
While the shredder does a good job, it conveys the paper sheets more slowly than our previous royal model (which, by the way, i... Read More
Better than two others i have used in the past, including one amazon basic one which i'm still using in a different location.
I had older royal shredder and it doesn't even compare.
I was going to go for a bonsaii shredder for the shorter cool down times, but went with this because of better reviews.

I already had a micro cut shredder but it works for maximum 7 sheets of paper and some paper is thicker than other basic white paper and my parents had boxes and boxes of documents that needed to be shredded
