Amazing shredder. We also bought the oil to go with it. It says on the instructions to use the oil, which can also be purchased through Amazon to prolong the life of the shredder. Amazingly easy to use. Extremely quick to set up. We haven’t needed to use the oil yet as we haven’t shredded enough paper but the instructions say that using the oil is a must, so don’t forget to buy some when you purchase the shredder! This shredder is permanently set up in our house. We get a lot of junk mail which has our name and address on, which used to pile up. Now we can shred as and when we need to which prevents mass piles of paper! I would highly recommend this shredder.
