I bought this about 1 month ago , I have had fellows shredders for ages and am tough on them..I also like the auto turn off feature, as well as the need to turn on only when needed, . and the shredder does a great job so far' The Large umber of shredding capacity is also needed.. although this one has less capacity to hold the shredded papers than my last old Fellows. .Sadly everything but the shredder assembly is made of a flimsy plastic. particularly the outside assembly. Plastic screw holders will eventually dry up and become brittle and start breaking like my last one did .But on the other hand it took 10 years to have the plastic lid holding the metal shredder assembly to snap the plastic metal screw holders The flimsy plastic is the only reason it is nota 5 .
