I needed a shredder that could work en Masse. This thing is a POWERHOUSE. It shreds fast and works hard. I wish it cross-shredded though, but it does make completely cut small peices. I am very happy
Great Product January 6, 2009 Well worth the cost to get a shredder that can really do the job adequately.
Powerful, but I wish it did crosscuts November 16, 2008 I got this one to replace another about 5 years old. They do wear out.
The SB-80 is very powerful and takes 17 pages at a gulp, just as promised. The pull-out bin is very nice too--we don't need any bags, just take out the bin and reverse it into a big lawn trash bag.
Negatives: It's very noisy It doesn't cross-cut, so it spews out long strips of 1/4" wide paper. This has two drawbacks: the bin fills up faster, as the strips turn into big springs pushing up from the bottom, and of course there's not as much security as there would be with a crosscut machine that creates little chads. I wish I had noticed this drawback, as I probably would have paid a bit more to get a machine that did crosscuts.
