Frequent Asked Questions
★★★★★5 STAR REVIEWS:
1) So far so good! This does what it says very well - cross cut shredding. I haven't done credit cards yet. I try not to put 10 sheets in at a time, but that's just my preference. I did do a "batch" the other day and it sounded kind of "overloaded/losing gusto" after I did a bit, and I don't know if it's cause of the shred time I spent with it, if it was the amount of paper I shredded or that I didn't stop shredding when the bin was full. The bin fills up fast, and is easy to take out. When you see paper in the window, it's time to empty it, so that is a good thing which I like (no guessing). When I take the bin out, I used a small hand broom (like the mini mini brooms) and wiped it back and forth along the blades (inside/underneath) and got a lot of extra cut paper that didn't come out in the bin, that was "stuck" in the scanner part (of course do this when it's unplugged). Oh, like the manual says, the shredder will automatically stop running, when you are done, and I suggest that you be patient and wait for it to shut off before manually turning it off. It just runs a few seconds after the paper disappears and either it's 1) still shredding or 2) it's just getting excess out. The port where the plug goes into the machine looks like it's coming out and I won't be able to exchange it because it works fine, so I am going to get an extra warranty on this with possibly SquareTrade. We'll see. But I highly recommend this, and feel it was a worthwhile investment.
Update 7/7/15: I had this stop working on me. A paper (like small last bit of one, got stuck and it would reverse or go forward. Nothing). I contacted Royal and spoke with a live person and was advised to try using tweezers to get the little shreds of paper out/to clean it up. I spent a while doing this (but felt like cleaning and I like to clean:), and low and behold my machine was back up and running!!! If this happens to you - make sure you have unplugged it and be mindful of the blades. You will see where the paper gets clogged and you won't really need to get too close to blades with your fingers. I have also used the oil that can accompany this and it has seemed to help a lot. Glad I go this! Recommend it highly!
2) Great brand and shredder. I use Royal shredders at work and marvel at how they don't get all gummed up. They are, in effect, self-cleaning. And this less expensive version for my house is just as good. If you want a decent shredder and are tired of all the junk out there, this shredder would be a good place to start.

1) This shredder shreds well, but I rated it average for three reasons. One, I ran a series of 9 double sheets in succession and it started smelling "hot". So let it rest before continuing. Never had a shredder do that before. Two, the opening is exactly the width of the sheet of paper, so you have to insert a page in exactly or it will go through crooked. Three, it has no rollers. My fault that I did not notice the roller exclusion in the write up.
2) the opening to insert paper is too small, barely larger than the width of a piece of paper requiring too much effort to feed paper perfectly. I had a previous shredder that had another couple of inches that made it a lot easier to just insert paper...size matters!
★☆☆☆☆1 STAR REVIEWS:
1) The shredder says 10-sheets but really it struggles with ONE sheet. The size of it is very small so you have to clean out the bin often. When moving the switch to Auto it just stays on and even if you are not shredding anything. And the pull out bin is weak. A horrible purchase. OH and the product was supposed to be new but I was sent a used shredder.
2) Does not shred 10 sheets, maybe 10 sheets of cheap toilet paper. Freezes on 4. Not happy at all.
