I couldn't light a cigarette with the amount of paper I shredded before it balked.
My other shredder is also from Tech Solutions. It's a little desktop model that shreds really well. The problem with that one is the tiny waste receptacle under it. 5 minutes of shredding and it's full.
EDIT: Upon reflection it's plainly apparent that if a cheap, balky shredder is the only thing I have to whine about, I should be pretty happy with life.
