I have received the device today and tried the same. I am very happy with the result! He creates 8 sheets effortlessly, with 10 leaves he growls already. Just as it is in CD's DVD's. 6 are possible but 5 are sufficient for the small container. Then dump enfach. Should Shred his entire collection wish, taking the small receiver just get out and then has 25l volume. For home use, it is the ideal machine! There are even 'cheap deals' with strip cut, but that was not an option for me. My previous 'shredders' was my stove ==> compost heap. 100% security, because vemischt with the ashes; but is not for the warm season. Conclusion: recommendable.
