Type of review

Royal is not liable for an expensive device that lasted a little longer than the warranty period. Recently, it started working continuously after inserting paper into the slot. It restarts when we unplug it and plug it back in, only to do the same thing over and over again. We have cleaned the shredder and fully tested it. Nothing interferes with the operation of the sensors. The 1840MX is NOT worth the price. Our shredders, even Royal, have always lasted much longer. Exceptionallyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Looks good
Cons
  • Too stupid

Terrible design gets in the way

I originally gave two stars because it actually shredded paper - once you managed to get the paper into the shredder. It is a challenge. Its design is terrible. Getting paper into the cutter heads is a huge pain. The design appears to have come from lawyers who are more concerned with potential risks than someone who actually shreds paper. I'm sure it's very safe - you can't get your fingers in the cutting heads - but it's also extremely difficult to get the paper in. All you can do is fold the

Pros
  • Looking forward to it
Cons
  • I'll write back later

Amazing Quality AND IT DOESN'T NEED TO GREASE!

So far so good. I am very impressed with how this paper shredder absolutely destroys (shreds ;) the mountains of paper that I feed into its hungry mouth every day. It doesn't even begin to slow down in the slightest like other smaller shredders I've had. I was on the verge of buying another brand entirely when I came across a review from another Revain customer recommending this device. Having gone through two other well known brands of shredders that simply failed due to normal wear and tearโ€ฆ

Pros
  • So far satisfied
Cons
  • Volume

Works great so far and hopefully lasts a long time

This unit the Royal 1840MX replaced an old Royal 160MX very similar to this one but Royal stopped selling gears for it so I could' fix it it might not be the third time in 10 years. So in the end it lasted a long time, but only because I changed gears in it twice in so many years. Changing gears is one of the main reasons I bought this 1840 because when I checked the Royal website they sell replacement gears for the 1840MX. Hopefully they will still sell them if this device fails in the future.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • weak

workhorse! about office electronics

In a nutshell -- I've filled 11 giant green garbage bags with scraps from this machine over the past few days. Based on my experience with other shredders, I initially cared about the machine, but over time I gave up and really put this shredder to the test. It got stuck exactly once (the gauge said overload) and automatically pumped up and cleared. I skipped the nominal 18 leaves MANY times and he picked them up and chewed them without hesitation. The machine runs continuously for at least 40โ€ฆ

Pros
  • There's something to it
Cons
  • Minor problems

ready = BEAST MODE in other office equipment

I had such a great experience with this product that I decided to hack my wife's Revain account to post this product review. That's all. This machine is the Marshawn Lynch of paper shredders. I bought this device specifically to destroy two decades of confidential business records and this thing did it like a champ! Ready to use out of the box, this machine is fully assembled and literally "ready to useโ€. The device has four illuminated operational status indicators: Ready, Bin Full, Overheatโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
