The long-term test (now almost 3 years) he has passed with flying colors and with us as falling some work on him. As before, just buy it!

The shredder works even after 4 years! But I have the impression that he is now louder over time and no longer creates many sheets at a time and is significantly slower (probably it is slowly "dull"). Meanwhile, it's happened to me also 2x that he (the stack were admittedly perhaps a little too thick) after 10 min duration shredding some games off. But do not worry, after it has cooled down (what ever may take 15 minutes), he destroyed merrily, is therefore not immediately broken. Am amazed at how long will the "little one". :-)
