Pros: I love this thing. I wish I could shred my garbage in it. My apartment is almost clean now with all the papers I used to have laying around. It looks pretty safe, can cut for ~20 minutes straight before needing to cool down, its really an ideal shredder.

Cons: There is a safety "mechanism" built into the removable garbage container that tells the SB-99Ci when the container is fully closed meaning it is safe to shred. The notch on the container pushes in a lever when it is fully closed, but mine did not make enough contact if any. I propped a peace of cardboard in there and all is well it wasn't worth shipping it back over. I don't have kids though so safety is not a concern for me, otherwise I would have had to ship this back since the container can be removed and if fed paper could be dangerous with a bunch of monkeys running around.

Overall Review: I want very badly to try and shred a pair of socks.
