Pros: holds more paper before you have to empty
Cons: Jamming, Durability, Sheet Capacity, noise level- squeaks a lot- must be oiled often
Overall, this shredder works better than our previous shredder. It has a higher bin capacity so we don't have to empty it as frequently, which was our main consideration when deciding on a new shredder.
However, it does not shred 12 pages at once, it will jam halfway through if you try putting more than 6 or 7 sheets in at the same time.
It also squeaks, a lot! We have to generously slather it with oil and those of us who use it, jokingly say it is run by "hamster-wheel technology." It sounds like a hamster running on its wheel when it starts to squeak.
I could not recommend this shredder to a friend, without first warning them about its cons, due to the cost of the shredder.
