This shredder replaced one I had for several years in my home/office. I like the clear front panel to see the bin is filling (long before it clogs and jams the shredder mechanism). The bin has a good fit so there is little waste that spills down the sides inside the machine; thus, cleanup is a breeze. The only downside (why not 5 stars?) is the the feeder is a bit restricted and unless your papers are perfectly aligned and precisely fed, don't try it. There just is no slack allowed in the feeding, so it slows the process if you are doing some mass shredding.
