I wanted for some time to buy a paper shredder but I have given up, not knowing which to choose. With club testers, I've experienced that. It is great for home use. A bit noisy, but I did destroy little leaves, so it is not too inconvenient. It is simple to use and not too bulky. I can not say if it would be as well for a more intensive use at the office, but for the home, it is doing its job.
