So, I wanted to buy one for our home office. The one that I used at my summer job shred the paper into...

UPDATE: 9/18/03: It Broke :( I fed 4 sheets to it, they went slightly sideways and this time it jammed. Hit "reverse" and then the gears started slipping and this was it. I opened it up to see the damage and found out that the motor has a metal gear turni ...

Cons: paper opening small

My old cheapie shredder died (the gears wore out), so I was ready to spend up to about $50 for one that would last longer. But this one was only $16 at Wal-Mart, and was from the brand that has the most good reviews for shredders on Epinions. It seems ...

Cons: Small opening, but it's not that much of a hassle.

What a headache this shredder has been. I bought it at Costco because my husband and I had some old bill and checkstubs that needed to be shredded. It worked great for about 20 minutes!! Then, it quit!! It turns out that the little piece inside the...
