Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Yes, this shredder is quiet as advertised. However, in reading the fine print of the instructions, they say “to maintain a durable and faultless work of the shredder, it is advised to place no more than 70% of the maximum amount of sheets to be shred at one time. The maximum amount of sheets should be used only occasionally“ Well, I did not buy it to shred 18 sheets “occasionally”, I bought it to shred 18 sheets most of the time !! so, is this an 18 sheet shredder? NO, it is a 12.6 sheet or 13 sheet shredder I have now been using this shredder for several months. It has concistently worked quietlty and shredded up to 20 sheets of paper at a time. I originally rated it one star because of the above. However, it has been so excellent,.I must now change this to 4 stars.
