Negative Positive
Title: Regrettable purchase
Review: From all outer appearances this item looked like it would function well in my office. The day I received it I eagerly placed paper in it only to question if I was using it correctly. I discovered that this item requires an hour or so to warm up before it will shred anything as fed.But here are some suggested ways to work around it: First, you can leave paper in the mouth and it will sit inactively for 40-60 minutes before it arbitrarily shreds. The noise level is comparable to a sink disposal. A second alternative is to feed the paper from bottom up and hit reverse because that is the only working function available from the get-go.
Is the review positive or negative?
