10-Sheet Cross-Cut Paper Shredder for Home & Office - Floral Design, 5.5 Gallon Waste Bin | Shreds Credit Cards, Staples & Paper Clips | 2-Minute Continuous Run Time | Perfect for Document Security & Small Office Organization

I have had many shredders over the years and even many that I used in offices where I've worked. I would have never imagined anything could scream so loud when shredding only one document, if I had not experienced this thing. This will definitely be my only purchase from this seller. I really liked the appearance; very unusual to have wood grain color on this type of machine; but it is not a good trade-off for the horrible sound it makes when operating. I would have thought there was something wrong with it if I had not read the reviews after I tried it. Sorry I didn't read the reviews before - for this price I would have expected a really quality machine. Unfortunately, I threw away all the packing before I used it; otherwise I would have requested a return.The shredder works good and like the look. I have not be able to shred 10 sheets in it without the paper getting stuck. I've only been able to shred 6 pages at a time. The only other thing I dislike about it is, super loud. You definitely can't be on the phone or in a conversation while shredding.If I put more than 5 pieces of paper in the shredder at the same time it jams in the corners. I had to get the paper out of the corners before I could use it again. I would not recommend for an office setting. It is sufficient for what I need to shred at home.This does the trick for a home office. It’s a little workhorse. Though, as it states in the product description, it will stop after several minutes of continuous use. They mean continuous, not intermittent. So, you can use the shredder normally to shred several documents. If you have a big project shredding piles of documents, you’re going to have to have patience. But, it wasn’t a big deal to me. Use the lubricant sheets to take good care of it.Looks great! Only big flaw is that the credit card shredder part only slices the credit card and doesn't actually shred them. Had to use the main "paper" slot for the credit cards which worked well.Shredding old records and files. The brown color seems to fade within the room, not obnoxious.This was the only shredder I could find that was not black/grey/boring. It's style is not usually my taste, but given the sparsity of options I went with this one. I'm glad I did. I'm happy with it. It achieves my needs of (1) shredding paper, and (2) not being black/grey/boring.The product works fine but it’s very loud
