   I have owned this product for a number of years now and use it daily. At times this shredder receives heavy use (constant shredding for an hour or two) with no problems. It shreds staples and multiple sheets (as advertised) with no problem.
   
   The only complaint I have is that the waste basket is too small. I should upgrade to a larger shredder but this does a wonderful job! I have no complaints.

   I've had this shredder for about 6 months and it has worked fine under heavy use until very recently. My disappointment, however, is related to the plastic bin the shredder sits on top of which has what I'd consider a design flaw. The shredder is designed to only work when it's placed on top of the paper bin to protect from any accidenal injury when the shredder has been removed from the bin. The problem, however, is that the safety feature on the shredder is activated by a very thin/weak 'rail' on the inside of the paper bin which has broken during normal use over the last several months. As a result, the shredder is now useless because the paper bin can no longer de-activate the safety shutoff device when the shredder is placed on top of the paper bin. The bin/safety cut-off device is too flimsy for this shredder....buy another model.

   This product is absolutely the best shredder I've ever used. It easily shreds several sheets of paper at one time, slicing them lengthwise as well as crosswise. The bits are so tiny that no identity thief would take on the impossible task of trying to splice them together.
   
   The credit card shredder is perfect. It eagerly grinds the cards without protest or problem. They also end up in minute pieces.
   
   I've used the CD shredder only once. It worked fine.
   
   This shredder has an automatic knob that keeps the machine fired up but not running until you put papers through the slot. Then it roars to life and chews up every last bit.
   
   The remains collect in the roomy plastic basket underneath. This shredder lacks a handle, so you have to unplug it, grab the sides and lift it out of the basket. It resets easily back where it belongs once the basket is emptied.
   
   You can also keep the machine off until you're ready to use it. Simply slide the level to On. There is also a Reverse button to help dislodge any jams. I have had this shredder for two years and it hasn't jammed yet.
   
   I run every scrap of paper through this shredded. It hasn't once failed me.
   
   
   ****UPDATE**** (June 1, 2009) Still working as well as it did on day one.

   I got mine as a present about 18 mths ago, when it would only shred 1 or 2 pages before it required a cool down. The warranty only lasted a year, and the customer service at Aurora didn't seem to have any knowledge of the product. I rarely used it up to that point, am extremely disappointed with both the shredder and Aurora Customer Service.
