The product is a bit loud.
The shredder can only handle one sheet at a time and needs breaks after about ten minutes, indicating limited battery life.

The product is a bit loud and it freaked out my dog.
The machine is supposed to handle eight pieces at a time, but it clogs and overheats right away if I try more than one sheet.
71% praised the crisp and clear display, while 29% found it lacked brightness
I am disappointed with the quality of the new shredder compared to the old one.
Emptying the collector creates a mess.
72% appreciated the sturdy and durable build, though 28% found it flimsy
I like the sturdiness of the shredder and its ability to handle up to 6 sheets per shred.
I am relieved that the new shredders do not have the annoying metal flap on the shredding hatch.
The basket of the shredder unit is unstable and made of thin plastic.
78% appreciated the ergonomic design for comfort, though 22% found it uncomfortable
The shredder is powerful and can suck the papers right out of my hand.
I dislike the design of the shredder, especially the heavy top that needs to be removed to throw away shreds in the waste basket.
I find the shredder's ergonomics to be poor, particularly when it comes to emptying the collector and determining the bin's fullness.
64% loved the responsive and quiet keyboard, but 36% found it unresponsive
I am dissatisfied with the quality of the new shredder compared to the old one. The new shredder jams with 4 or 5 sheets, which is not in line with the claimed 12 sheet capacity.
There is a thick sticky residue on the shredder which is not easy to remove. Not sure if I will keep it.
The device is a bit loud and even freaked out my dog.
When I shredded about 100 papers, the product started to lag.

81% liked the quiet operation, but 19% found it noisy
The shredder is a little noisy, but it's acceptable since it's a cutting machine.
I compared the noise level of the product to other products I have owned. It is also durable and easy to assemble.
This shredder is louder than my previous shredder.
The device is fairly noisy with just a sheet or two.
76% loved the fast and efficient performance, but 24% experienced lag
I bought this product for its ability to shred small, long, and thick things and it is performing really well.
My product's performance has decreased due to the reduction in the number of teeth doing the cross-cut.
