When unit received, put it to work, probably too much according to specs. Performed very well, just jammed once and that was my fault, too thick of a load. I know it takes 10 pages, I would not want to shred 12 pages of my copy paper. I shredded a cd and credit card, worked. I am caught up on my shredding for a while, but still have more to do. I find the recommendations 2 minutes on 4 minutes off, work very well. If you get your stuff to shred in order, the 2 minutes seems like a long time. I do question the manual that no maintenance needed other than wiping off housing w/mild soap and water. Will be calling Honeywell to confirm. Seems as though oil would be needed after a while. When basket is pulled out, power is off. The wheels are a big help. I highly recommend…
UPDATE: January 18, 2010.
About a month ago I noticed the ‘automatic’ did not stop automatically after shredding. The ‘automatic’ reverse still shuts off automatically. Talking with Honeywell, I would have to pay for shipping to return item that is still under warranty. I told Honeywell by the time I paid shipping to California from Texas, I could add a little money and have a new one. I did tell Honeywell I would be posting this review. The unit still works except for the above.

Fast, ample 12 page capacity, with a good sized, easy to empty bin, CD/credit card shredder on wheels for the home. You get a lot for the price considering its a crosscut shredder! All you need for at home.

this shredder does a great job on shredding. I would have given it 5 starts, but there was one problem- there was this plastic tub inside that kept jamming the pull out drawer and then finally stuck completely. I think it was for catching the shredded cards or cds, but it wouldn’t stay in that spot. I wound up cracking the handle trying to open the slide out with the with the plastic tub stuck.
It does shred everything nicely.

Initial function was great! After a number of reviews for all shredders about using as described (no more than the sheets allowed and cleaning the shredder blades to maintain), I was very careful to not exceed the instructed limits and to studiously maintain the unit. Didn’t help; when I turned it on today after – a couple of months of non-use – I got nothing, dead as a door nail. This machine is not cheap and I expected to get at least 2 years out of it; but it didn’t even make it a year with light usage.
