I'm almost able to give this item a 5 star except for one thing --- I don't know how long it will really last. Having purchased two other shredders that lasted an average of three months, I'm hopeful this one will last longer.
The price is high enough to warrant better quality key components. Will they be up to the job of lasting the 3 - 5 years I'm expecting from a product like this?
All mechanical devices are only as strong as their weakest link. In my last two units that weakest link turned out to be a cheap plastic gear that stripped out far too early. I don't have a law office or even shred that much - just personal bank statements, utility bills etc. At no time have I ever run any shredder for more than --- say 20 seconds at one time, so there should be no excuse for heat buildup. Nor do I run metal, like paper clips etc. through these machines.
Used to be that 'Made in Japan' meant cheap and cheaply made goods. Now 'Made in Japan' equates to quality made products. 'Made in China' is now everywhere we look and some of their products seem to be following the Japanese lead of excellent quality.
Maybe this is one of them.
If this one quits I'll revert back to burning in my fireplace until someone comes along with a better system - such as a security slush bucket that breaks down paper products and allows them to be flushed down the toilet - or a UV light that strips characters clean.
Until then I'll just hope this becomes a five star item . . .
