Customer Review: Paper everywhere when you TRY and empty the basket.
Summary: 2 Stars
I have this shredder in white; it shreds great but get ready for a BIG MESS when you pull the basket out to empty it. Also, if you try to prevent the mess by TRYING to get the top off, forget it. To get the top off, you have to turn the machine upside down or get someone really strong to get it off for you; it's that heavy.Customer Review: Piece of garbage...mine broke
Summary: 1 Stars
I really liked this shredder when I first bought it from circuit city. It worked well and smoothly enough, and I had no problems shredding documents, CDs and credit cards (credit cards worked fine in the regular paper slot, so I didn't have that problem like one other reviewer). Also, it had a pretty slick design, and looked really good anywhere in the room.
The first problem was the internal design, where paper pulp would accumulate in the middle of the shred head due to a support bar on the inside. Cleaning this out would cause paper dust and flakes to go all over the place, which would then get vacuumed up (a minor inconvenience).
Then, at some point, the auto sensor went. It would get activated by the first sheet of paper, but then never turn off. Really annoying, but still workable.
Today, the thing just broke, under normal use. This only after ~6 months of mild to moderate use (household junk mail, credit card statements, etc.). The two rotating rods are held in place by plastic brackets! Now, it still shreds on one side, while the other lets paper through. Now the whole thing must get discarded!
My advice, forget aesthetics and buy a fellowes.
Customer Review: Don't buy - Other Companines make better shredders
Summary: 1 Stars
What a piece of junk. First, there is a bar in the middle of the slot where you feed the paper in which blocks the opening even when attempting to put in one piece of paper. Second, for some reason whenever I go near the shredder with my Bluetooth headset for my cell phone the shredder just starts running. Third, there is a special slot for credit cards that only slices them instead of shredding it which would allow anyone to easily put it back together and read the information. And don't try to put it where the paper goes to shred it properly because it jams up. Finally, there is a small window on the shredder basket that supposed to let you know when it's full. Unfortunately the paper piles up in the back of the basket long before it's full and starts jamming the shredder. Sadly it took me a little more than 30 days to discover all of these problems so Circuit City won't give me a refund. All in all I've had much better performance out of paper shredders that cost a lot less.Customer Review: Jams constantly, and the ON button broke in 30 days
Summary: 1 Stars
The on/off button broke within 30 days, the shredder jams, no way it will handle 10 pages. I'd limit it to about 3-4 pages at most, but it still jams constantly. It's very loud and credit cards will clog it although the owners manual says they are fine. I just bought a Fellowes dm12c. So far it's a vastly better product. I regret ever having the Royal as it's now just going into a landfill.Customer Review: This should be 4 stars . . .
Summary: 1 Stars
I was unable to edit the number of stars on Amazon. I originally gave this 1 star because it "died" after about 3 uses. However, the next morning it was working fine. It seems that shredders occasionally overheat a bit and shut themselves down. It actually works quite well when it's working. And it is very attractive as far as shredders go.
