My previous Shredders blessed unfortunately because of its plastic gears the temporal. This one does not make this impression. The cutting performance is at least as good as indicated and the average particle itself works with 8 sides are still wonderful. The individual flakes do not take in the container less storage space as strip, so you have less often down the trash. If it once but comes to the removable container is more practical. Garbage bags you need any more. Is only a pity that CDs and smart cards end up in the same subject, but what the heck, for the cutting performance is there absolutely convincing! And he is also even quieter than my old paper shredder from Dahle.
