    Okay shredder for the price point
    4 Stars
    Okay shredder for the price point
    This shredder does shred, and I like the see-through window it has so that you can easily see when it needs to be emptied. In addition, the instructions are simple, so it is no problem to assemble. However, it appears to be a bit glitchy. When I first followed the instructions, it would not work. I called the customer service number on the packaging, and was instructed to take it back apart and then, carefully, place the top securely back on. I thought I had done that the first time, but whatever. I did it the second time, and it worked. It has been doing fine so far. My only complaint is that the head of it with the motor is relatively heavy, and not really easy to lift up and remove when the appliance needs to be emptied. The top fits very snuggly.
