Powershred! The Name Says It All.

 

It will shred large quantities of paper without any problems. And while capable of shredding small children, it won't, due to the saftey shut-off. It's a great shredder.

I wrote the review above ^ in 2010.. Well it's 2012 and it's still going. We've been using this in an office environment (6-10 employees) the whole time. We've basically never serviced it, only run oil every so often

Still in use today

 

I remember that we jammed this thing right away after we got it (late 07) & we had to have a local company repair it. Otherwise it's never really been a problem. Still going strong.
