First Alert SC121DF Cross-Cut Shredder, 12-Sheet, Black/Silver

First Alert SC121DF Cross-Cut Shredder, 12-Sheet, Black/Silver Review

When unit received, put it to work, probably too much according to specs. Performed very well, just jammed once and that was my fault, too thick of a load. I know it takes 10 pages, I would not want to shred 12 pages of my copy paper. I shredded a cd and credit card, worked. I am caught up on my shredding for a while, but still have more to do. I find the recommendations 2 minutes on 4 minutes off, work very well. If you get your stuff to shred in order, the 2 minutes seems like a long time. I do question the manual that no maintenance needed other than wiping off housing w/mild soap and water. Will be calling Honeywell to confirm. Seems as though oil would be needed after a while. When basket is pulled out, power is off. The wheels are a big help. I highly recommend...

UPDATE: January 18, 2010.

About a month ago I noticed the 'automatic' did not stop automatically after shredding. The 'automatic' reverse still shuts off automatically. Talking with Honeywell, I would have to pay for shipping to return item that is still under warranty. I told Honeywell by the time I paid shipping to California from Texas, I could add a little money and have a new one. I did tell Honeywell I would be posting this review. The unit still works except for the above.
