Digital camera reviews of Royal 85X Paper ShredderDigital camera Review: A Royal pile of garbage Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this at Target. I only needed a light duty shredder for our home to shred credit card offers and misc. things like that. The first one I brought home was broken, the removable can was cracked and the shredder would run continuously. After returning the defective/broken one, I came home to shred.
For the first few days it was ok. It didn't shred anywhere near the purported number of sheets, even 3-4 was a bit much. I didn't worry though, I just fed it a piece at a time. After a few weeks, the motor began to get louder. I should back up an include that I had to frequently remove the can and remove the wedged little bits of paper from the teeth. It wouldn't quit running because of this, I just didn't like the idea of it jamming. Anyway, the motor progressively gets louder. Then a whole new grinding metal sound appears. And a clunking. Who knew that shredders could clunk?
After calling Royal a few times (and being accused of putting foreign objects into it), I found I was going to have to drive it to the nearest service center or pay to ship it. There was no mention of a RA or anything. Although, the last person I spoke to seemed to know exactly what the problem was and even described the sound without me doing it.
As I'll never have time to make a special run to take this in for service, it will be tossed out. It has been replaced with a Fellowes shredder
