Customer Ratings:

• Big fire hazzard. I have had this unit for about a year with not too many problems except as mentioned... 10 sheets...NOT!!! I was using this to of all things, shred paper....HMMMM too much I think! I heard a loud pop sound and fire shot right out of the top and singed the hair on my arm and also caught the shredded paper in the bin on fire!!! I had to run it outside and douse it with the hose. BE VERY CAUTIOUS WITH THIS UNIT!!! WOULD NOT AND WILL NEVER RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE....UNLESS YOU HAVE REALLY GOOD HOME INSURANCE AND WANT TO MAKE USE OF IT!
• Auto Shutoff - Obvious Design Flaw. Don t buy this is you need to rely on the auto shutoff. As mentioned by other reviewers, it simply stops working over time, and the machine has to be manually turned off completely when done. If left in the Auto position, it will turn on and just run!! Very loud, and 10 sheets is optimistic.
• Very dangerous. Should be subject to a recall.. My Royal shredder also won t auto-shutoff anymore and cannot be left on because it has started all by itself and run until discovered. Seems like a very dangerous fire hazard to me.
• Does the job, but could be alot better. As is mentioned by several other reviewers, the shredder is very loud. Recently, the auto-stop function stopped working. The warranty won t help as labor coverage is good only 90 days after purchase. So, I guess we ll have to live with it. I d recommend buying something else.
• does the job. have had this shredder for about a year now and it s still chugging along. if it were quieter or was faster, it d get a better rating. despite these minor considerations, it shreds well. it s also fairly capable at handling the amount of paper it s supposed to. does a good job on cc s and discs.
  
  so, despite the non-crucial considerations, i d recommend it. the basket holds a good amount of waste and is easy to empty. haven t had any problems w/ reversing it if i did put too much in either.
