Royal® 6 Sheet Cross-Cut Shredder, Black, CX6

I tried to use this to shred a lot of old documents and 30 mins it was hot and shut down. So I am going through years of papers and putting them in a bag and take it to a shredding company and get rid of it and only use this for daily use.

Upon arriving, I immediately unpacked it and put it to use. It ran beautifully for a while, then jammed up. It hadn't occurred to me you had to EMPTY it. My bad. After emptying it and picking some of the jam out, it went right back to it's former efficiency. It has a reverse feature to help unjam it, which you probably won't need if you empty it occasionally. It shreds light cardboard, too, like cereal boxes and stuff. It chops up the staples, too. If I have a lot of stuff to shred in the future, I'm just gonna set it on a bigger box.
