It lasted about six months.

This is the first shredder I've owned. It started out very strong, and really impressed me with the way it could shred CDs. I use it mainly to shred credit card and mortgage solicitations, but I also use it as my home based business shredder. It has a relatively small bin, and the clear part of the front of the bin is invisible unless your lying on the floor, so you have to pull out the bin out fairly often and check to make sure it's not getting too full. If it does get too full you'll get shreds all over the floor when it's time to empty the bin.

In general, I liked this shredder. I paid only $53.27 including tax at Sam's Club, and it was a workhorse for almost six months. Unfortunately, it bit the bullet shredding a credit card solicitation this morning so it's going back to Sam's. It's not just a jam, I found a big chunk of one of the shredding disks in the bin, and it's making a horrible noise.
