It's an excellent budget option for home use
Although there are shredders better suited for heavy-duty use, if you're looking for something to use at home, this is one of the best options out there. For a budget price, it offers a rather powerful shredding mechanism and a very high degree of privacy (making shredded documents virtually impossible to reassemble).

Con
You have to deal with jams manually
There is no automatic solution or prevention mechanism for jammed paper. To resolve the issue, you have to put the shredder into reverse mode and retry disposing of your documents. This can get annoying, especially if you’re in a hurry.
