Just by unpacking, you see that it's upscale. The iron trash is very design and has a heavy weight that speaks volumes about the quality of this unit. The crushing section has a handle that allows to place it correctly on the basket. There is a start button on the back, with a switch on the front. You can enable detectors sheets of paper or not. The grinder works great, I used up to 5 sheets at the same time without worries. The notice indicates that it can take up to 10 sheets. It is recommended to grease the wheels regularly. I think if we did that, the device is not ready to spoil. This is ideal for destroying too personal documents such as copies of identity documents or tax forms, so that people do retrieves information in your garbage !!
