Review: The Little Shredder That Can - UNLESS It Is Shredding a Credit Card or CD - De-junkifying the home after 23 years of living here. Along the way, collected and retained A LOT of personal paperwork. When shredding was [finally] completed, there were four (4) full, large Hefty type trash bags filled. This little shredder never quit and still runs and did not overheat too often (I was shredding 1-3 pages at a time. Also - try as I might, this shredder WOULD NOT shred old credit cards nor CDs. NOTE: shredding that much WILL require lubrication.
Review: Shredder - Works Great, no complaints

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Little Shredder That Can - UNLESS It Is Shredding a Credit Card or CD
*by R***S on September 12, 2025*

De-junkifying the home after 23 years of living here. Along the way, collected and retained A LOT of personal paperwork.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Shredder
*by D***L on February 18, 2026*

Works Great, no complaints

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Shredder - Quiet too!
*by J***. on July 26, 2024*

I like this shredder a lot! It is very quiet and shreds quickly. One thing I don't like is the actual shredder that fits over the bin is very heavy. Having arthritis in my hands makes this difficult. I do like the shredder though, so will continue to use it, but will buy the model that has the bin that slides out, so I won't have to lift it. Do recommend this one and like the Fellowes brand.
