This is our second machine. The first on lasted for about 6 years and started having minor problems with jamming. Overall it lasted for about 7 years before we needed to buy a new machine. Near the end of it's life cycle, we had to cut down to about 5 sheets of paper in order for it not to jam.

The shipment took longer than originally told at day of online purchase. We re ordered the same model as the one we had that no longer worked that we were happy with. And while this new one WORKS and mostly satisfactory- the trash bin is of poor quality and has already begun to fall apart.

When we were starting our home office I knew that one of the items that I wanted to purchase was a shredder. So I went to our local Staples store at Eastpoint Mall, Dundalk, MD and found The Fellowes SB-99CI confetti-cut paper shredder.
