It works great for everyday use.
When I purchased this shredder I had a lot of stuff to shred. I tried to shred too many sheets at once and for too long a period of time. When it got too hot, it stopped working until it cooled off, just as the instructions said it would.
Now, that I've taken care of all the shredding I needed to catch up on, and only use it a few days a week it works great!! I'm very pleased with it. It shreds plastic credit cards just like it claims.
I recommend that you try not to put more than 2-3 sheets of paper through it at once because it tends to bog down, if you do.
Overall, I'm very satisfied with it and I recommend it for light, everyday use, which is what it's designed for. It is worth the price in my opinion.
