So I bought this for household use for bills and various things and it also does good recycling! Mine probably came tested from the company because there were glued pages inside the blades, if this is true it means that before it comes into your hands it is tested and won't say anything wrong (I want to believe) (My mind doesn't go to used). Also, it doesn't come with oil for maintenance as I read in the comments. In terms of functionality, it cuts relatively fast - makes moderate noise - you feel like it's getting clogged and will break after 4-5 pages - it has a large bin - easy to use. That's it!!!!

It works perfectly! With 6 sheets, it sounds like it's struggling a lot, but it manages! With every emptying of the bin, I also add the Fellowes oil.

I have been using it for about six months for household use and I have emptied the bin about 3-4 times so far.

I usually put in 3 sheets at a time and it works well, theoretically it can take up to 6 but I don't think there's a reason for that. I use it for about 3-4 minutes max each time (the manufacturer says 3 minutes of continuous operation) and it works fine.

After each bin emptying, I put in the company's maintenance oil. It says it's Canola Oil. It has double the price for no apparent reason, I guess you can use any vegetable oil, but I decided to play it safe and get the one from the company.

Overall, for household use, the shredder seems to be value for money, now we'll see if it will hold up over time
