This shredder jams constantly. The design is lousy. It appears practically empty when full. You open the drawer and confetti flies everywhere, because the drawer is actually a small fraction of what you see on the front of the machine. The opening is less than 8 1/2 inches, so everything has to be folded. This is a great time waster and a big piece of junk!!

The main design flaw is that small pieces of paper (like credit card receipts) don't feed easily or trigger the shredding motor sensor. Other than that, it worked fine.

Until, of course, the motor started running continuously, and would not stop even when the top power switch indicated "off" (a safety hazard). The basket interlock still stops it, as does pulling the plug (of course).

We got this shredder for junk mail. It shreds unopened mail which saves lots of time. It lives up to the 20 sheet capacity and doesn't take up a lot of space. I wish the waste basket was a little larger but other than that a solid shredder.

This is a good shredder if you only want to shred unopened envelopes. That is it's intent. My need is for a letter width shredder.

So I bought new at target betting on the "Black and Decker" name.
As usual i am yet again disaponted in yet another domestic product.
This little gem worked fine the first two times I needed to shred. The third time I used it, well lets just say it did not work, I shredded my first two items a pay stub and an old bill. Omg overload!?? it just stopped working, cant get it to shred anything else. So a an old bill and a pay stub brought this baby down fast.. LOL good job black & decker!!. So be careful on this one.
