It was used for light shredding of checks and a few bills and receipts. The machine really didn't see any extreme duty and was never overloaded.

Paper jams with less than 4 sheets and black plastic parts falling out of main shredding rollers. Makes a mess, does not do a good job of containing the shredded paper bits.

I've since seen that officemax has an identical model, down to every molded piece, just with the officemax logo stamped on it instead of "Sentinel."
