    Neat, compact and reliable we had our previous shredder for over 10 years for use in the home. Unfortunately, my 19yr old son decided to use it and wasn't as careful as he should have been when he went on a mad shredding spree. So my advice would be this: fold A4 sheets in half, length ways and feed them through one sheet at a time, don't let it overheat by overuse in one go and remember to keep emptying the basket otherwise the shredded paper has nowhere to go apart from back up into the blades, where it will invariably get stuck. And don't let your 19yr old son get his paws on it without a training session first!
    It is ideal for what I would call low use shredding. We used it more or less on a daily basis, on average shredding one to 5 things a day, depending a lot on the mail we got or when we sorted paperwork.
    We were happy with our old shredder, hence the reason we bought the same one again. Hopefully this one will last just as long, if not longer.

    Style Name: ShredderVerified Purchase
    Since buying this item it has proved itself to be small but good. It does not have the stamina of an full size A4 machine, but it coped well with a three foot (one metre) pile of paper that had to be shredded after a sort-out. To clear this pile took two or three goes allowing the machine to cool down between constant shredding attempts, nevertheless after a month it is still going strong and willing to work each and every time. It does not clog up like a previous cross-cut shredder, and is small enough to fit on a desk without getting in the way. By being small the basket to collect the shredded paper has a very limited capacity, but now that the mass of paper has been shredded it is very suitable for everyday use. The only reservation is that it will not take a flat A4 sheet unless it is folded to fit the entry slot, but this is no longer an issue. At present it is doing Stirling work and copes very well with the mass of junk mail that comes each day. At first sight of the item it was thought to be too small to cope, but this has been proven wrong many times. It certainly appears that the problems other reviewers have experienced (plastic gears shearing their teeth) have been modified in this latest product. For everyday use this machine is ideal, whereas using it for regular piles of paper is not recommended. One thing the manufacturer does not say is that the shredded paper from this machine would double as confetti at a wedding.

    I envy those who got three months or a year out of their shredder - mine broke on first use! It struggled to shred anything more than one A4 sheet folded in thirds (only way A4 fits) when I first tried it, and then it jammed. And now, if I rip an A4 sheet in three, it just manages one sheet at a time! I call this robbery - Fellowes should be ashamed of themselves for passing off this substandard piece of junk for 'home office' equipment. (And I bet the positive reviews or from Fellowes employees!)

    While the product is fine, its not clear from the description that this product is not suitable for A4 paper. You will have to notice that the paper slot is only 4.5 inches and then realise this is not large enough for A4. Also not having the dimensions of the product in the description does not help.

    Having got one of these shredders 4 years ago I wouldn't buy any other one.

    It is small, compact, smart and does a terrific job. Having read quite a few of the recent Customer reviews regarding the plastic elements of the machine I must say I was a little concerned but I have had mine 4 years without issue and I wanted the identical machine for my Son. I have opened the packaging and checked the new v my one and it is identical so I see no reason why the new one will not last as long. Yes, you need to understand the machines capabilities.... (my advice)....
    1. Shred single sheets, but no more than two at a time
    2. Don't shred too much in one session
    3. Make shredding part of your daily routine
    4. Fold A4 sheets in half length ways to fit the cutting slot

    Look after this little baby and it will look after you!

    I'd been pretty happy with mine, although it did get very hot if you use it a lot and you have to stop and give it a rest. Then one day without warning it stripped a plastic gear. Customer service said "Unfortunately we do not have any spare parts or repair agents for this model of machine." And they had the cheek to set the status of my enquiry to 'solved'. Not happy now!

    Destructora compacta ideal para uso doméstico esporádico. Para ese uso funciona perfectamente.
    La boca tiene 12 cm. de ancho. Para destruir una hoja tamaño folio hay que doblarla.

    OJO! Viene con un enchufe tipo inglés (UK) y no trae adaptador. He tenido que comprar uno por ebay (3€ aprox.).
