Title: Worked Well (for 2 Years)
Review: I'm a realist and I don't expect these kinds of "throw-away" import electronics to last very long, so I'm not terribly upset that this shredder died after 2 years of use (R.I.P. January 2010 - March 2012). After opening the machine and poking around for a few minutes, I've determined the cause of death to be a burnt-out LED bulb, which acts as the sensor that starts the shredder when paper is inserted in the slot. Kind of disappointing that this little part is the Achilles' heel of the machine, but that's the way it goes.This shredder worked well while it was alive. I work in the video field, so I needed a shredder that could destroy DVDs of old projects. This one did the job, and of course shredded regular paper, business cards and credit cards, as well. I would consider buying this model again, and may just do so... unless I can figure out how to re-solder the tiny LED sensors.
Is the review positive or negative?
