Best feature: the handle.
I miss these features from my 20 yr-old shredder of the same size/price: "bin full" switch, independent "clear" button (when pushed, the unit runs forward without having to move the switch fr the AUTO setting).
My old shredder had a bin full switch that prevented you from running the unit when shred level rose up into the blade compartment. The first time that I used this unit, I didn't realize there was no bin full switch and could have continued to shred with the paper shreds continuing to compact against the cutters. Fortunately, I kept using the HANDY HANDLE to peek in and realized that there was no switch and that I had to watch the level on my own.
I shred only up to 3 pieces at a time and can shred for a while, I think the overheat light was flickering one time when I quit (it wasn't on or off or bright, so I just left it for a cool down period) So, you have to really pay attention to whether the light is on or not.
So, if you need a shredder for a lot of stuff (at home, not an office) and can be responsible to watch the shred level and the overheat light, and you can shred 1-3 pcs at a time, this is a unit that you can work with. The capacity is perfect for casual small office / home shredding and for "cleaning out the file cabinet" every once in a while. The HANDLE is the bomb.
Hi Abt,
Thank you for leaving us this thorough feedback.
We are glad to hear that you like the portable handle design of the shredder. Regarding the bin full switch, we will discuss it with our engineers and try whether we can make improvements on this isssue. Besides, it is also feasible to check the wastebin via the transparent semi-window on the wastebin.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
Best Regards,
