Review on πŸ”ͺ Royal Consumer MC500 5-Sheet Micro Cut Shredder - Model 29366Y by Michael Gupta

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Sands perfectly - NOT LONG SANDING

Doesn't eat tons of paper at once (5 sheets. Right in the title). But what he eats is perfectly shredded! The 'Auto' function kind of gets stuck on a lot more than just 'Forward', but I just use 'Forward' and turn it off so my pets don't get caught anyway. UPDATE: I've had the shredder for about a month now. Since receiving it I've destroyed about two buckets of stuff. I worked it out a bit the other day (like 3 leaves at a time for a few minutes) and decided to let it rest which was a good decision as I hardly smelled any smoke. after i was done I tried turning it on the next day (I got distracted and didn't finish my grind stack) and it wouldn't turn on. After some manual troubleshooting I finally hit it and it started shredding again. Now when it turns off for a while I have to press it to turn it on. Not perfect, but works for now. Re-reading the manual it is recommended to limit the loops to 2 minutes ON and 4 minutes OFF. It's certainly not intended for mass work. If you want to use it for your everyday mail shredding and a few documents or credit cards here and there, this shredder is GREAT. If you have a pallet of books to destroy, just keep going.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • You could choose a newer model
