A little work is required.
I bought this as I needed a little more chomping power than my 10 year old Fellow's which had been very good, but wanted more power for going through my old office archives. It likes on average about 12 pages all though it advertises up to 18 sheets. One issue that is PITA, is that about every 100 sheets which is about a 1/3 basket full you have to stop open the basket and clear away all the excess hanging paper underneath the shredder as it senses full. My older Fellow is a lot more tolerant with paper being close to the shredder and dropping away from it. After smashing the bag 3 times you have paper outside the recommended bags as they don’t fit all that well if you are consistently compacting. In all it does shred more faster than my old Fellows and hopefully last as long.
