It does what it's supposed to do, gives a consistent cross-cut shred so you're left with inch-long strips, even accepts credit cards, but doesn't do staples or paper clips, and according to the manual should only be used for three minutes of continuous shredding at a time. Shreddings might make good hamster bedding!
One thing to be aware of is that the instructions explicitly state that this shredder does not require and should not be oiled; I wasn't aware of this so bought the oil at the same time (as suggested by the Amazon product page for this shredder) and then found out from reading the instructions that I'd bought the oil unnecessarily. **Do NOT buy oil for this shredder!**
Looks pretty stylish and is easy to empty and move around thanks to large hand-holes. Don't be misled by the photo though - it's purely a black and white product, there are no yellow parts to it. ;-)
