Our old paper shredder w/c looked exactly like this in the picture (the bin is a bit different) died a couple of weeks ago. The LED light still lights up when you turn it on but it won't run or shred paper anymore. It was a sad sad day for me as I thought about all the good times we've shared. I love my shredder and this one has served me well for more years than I can remember since I won this in a dice game during a mid-autumn festival celebration with my friends ages ago.
So I went off to search for a good replacement. I made it just in time for the last day of Staples' recycle your old shredder promotion - $50 credit if you bring in your old shredder when you buy a Staples' brand shredder with an original price of $149 or more. I purchased this 12 sheet cross cut medium-duty model. Original price was $149 but it was on sale for $109, less a $10 coupon I had and less $50 for bringing in my old shredder. I got it for $50 + tax. Not bad for a day's work.
We've had this for a week now and I'm happy with it. The only complaint I have is that it is heavy! But what do you expect ? A powerful motor has to be cumbersome. I also love the huge bin, it has a capacity of 3.5 gallons (compared to our old one that is barely 2 gallons).
*smile*
See how a paper shredder makes me so happy ? I'm easy to please this way :)

:-) Shredding stuff is so satisfying! lol
Sinabi mo pa, Mai!
At first, I was satisfied with shredding the few pieces of junk mail that I get every day.
Then when our filing cabinet started getting full w/ documents I've collected over the years (statements, bills, receipts, etc). I started scanning them and shredding the originals.
Ang sarap ng feeling :)
Glad to find that I have a kindred-shredder-soul in you :)
I actually enjoyed reading this posting.Many thanks for sharing.
Document Shredding is a great way to contribute to helping the environment.
I think I'll get one myself. There's no way I could afford to hire companies specializing in paper shredding in Des Moines every so often.

What a great deal! Imagine saving some good amount for a functional equipment. Don't forget to check the machine's blade. Keep it calibrated, so you can make use of the equipment for a longer time.
