Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was browsing around for a while to get a new paper shredder and like most people do, I was reading the reviews on all the models that interested me and this one seemed to give the best bang for the buck. It's hard these days to find anything on Amazon that doesn't have at least "some" negative reviews and it can give you a headache just trying to decide whether or not you should take a chance at buying something you like, so even if you read a few bad reviews on an item, don't let that deter you from buying it if there are substantially more good reviews than bad. You just have to remember that in this world, we can't make everyone happy and somehow there is always someone out there complaining about something. I trusted my instincts and so far I have no complaints with this Bonsaii shredder. The packaging was great. You will receive a box, inside of a box, inside of a box! I included photos, so you can see what everything looks like. The top and bottom of the shredder are also seated with a block of styrofoam for added protection. It also does an excellent job of micro-cutting the paper and I included a photo, so you can see the scale. One common complaint you see with ALL paper shredders is someone claiming the shredder can't shred the number of sheets it advertises, but I believe those people don't use common sense. Think about how many different grades of paper are used in everyday mail/junk mail and there is a huge difference in how many sheets you can shred at one-time, depending on how thick the paper is. If you are shredding credit card offers you get in the mail, those sheets are often laminated or much thicker than standard printer-paper, so YEAH people, you CAN'T expect the shredder to chew six of those pages at one time. Some of those people who complain are probably also emptying an entire drawer of old documents in one sitting and these standard shredders are not built for that, so don't complain when it overheats or jams up. If you use the shredder for normal everyday home/office use like me, you will be very happy with it. If you go to the mailbox and have junk mail that needs to be shredded, go right to the shredder and get rid of it immediately. Don't let it accumulate and clutter because that is where these complainers come from. They finally decide to get off their comfy sofa's (after an entire month) to clean up their old paperwork and when the shredder burns out from excessive use, they give it a bad review and say it's a piece of junk. Well I have news for those people. Your ignorance and misuse is what causes the shredders to fail, so don't blame Bonsaii and every other manufacturer out there like Fellowes, Royal, Swingline, etc.
