DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEYAug 11, 2007
By Carson's Mom "S.D."
I received this product as a gift and was really excited to try it out. First of all, you CANNOT shred as many pages at once as it claims, you can only shred 4-5 or it gets jammed. Second, it does jam quite often even when trying to shed 4-5 pages. Third, the gears are cheaply made, and some of the teeth shear off the gears each time the machine jams. After about a half a dozen times, the machine will stop working as one or more of the gears have no more teeth on it. Guess what! You cannot buy replacement parts for this item. It was made to break, so that you would have to purchase another one. I will NOT buy another Royal shredder as I have read this is not the only model that this happens to. Please save yourself the headache and buy a different brand.

Not great, but does the job...Dec 22, 2008
By Anne
Wow! I didn't realize people disliked this shredder so much until I decided to write a review about it. I will say it isn't worth the $90 it's listed for here. I bought mine at BJ's for $49 like another reviewer.

Several reviewers highlighed the fact that this shredder doesn't shred as many pages as it says it will. My experience with shredders is that no shredder really shreds as many pages at a time as it says it's going to. So, I never believe what the boxes say about how many pages they will shred at a time. I never do more than a few at a time. It does do okay with credit cards and my husband has done a few cd's. I tried to shred a cd, but it didn't work so well for me. That did disappoint me.

As I said, this shredder is okay. It's not great, but okay. Unfortunately in our society, a shredder is not an optional thing the way it used to be. Now, when a shredder breaks, you need to replace it. This shredder will do the job, but I think there are probably better choices out there or at least more economical shredders out there that work just as well as this one.

Choose another shredderNov 27, 2007
By H. Lam
The Royal VF1012mx shredder is an attractively designed shredder -- with a slide-out wastebasket; three indicator lights for Ready, Overheat, and Overload; an Auto / Off / Reverse switch; and locking wheels for movement in tight spaces. The Overload light turns on when you've placed something too thick for the shredder to handle. While the Royal VF1012mx shredder is also quieter than my previous Staples-brand cross-cut shredder, the Royal shredder falls short in build-quality and usability:

1. The slide-out wastebasket is a messy idea, although it does makes for quieter shredding. When the wastebasket is removed for emptying, paper shreds fall from the shredder's cutter into the empty draw space, necessitating an emptying of the shredder itself. This is not atypical of most industrial strength shredders, but the Royal's wheels fall off when one lifts or tilts the shredder.
2. The shredder's cuttings are alarmingly long -- up to approximately four inches a strand (far longer than the typical 1-and-something inches in other cross-cut shredders), more than enough to divulge complete credit card numbers, telephone numbers, thoughts, etc. -- especially if one feeds paper sideways (i.e., landscape) into the shredder. This potentially negates the security benefit of purchasing a cross-cut shredder instead of a strip-cut shredder. There is a window in the wastebasket to gauge how full it is, but I think few people will regularly check the window given the shredder's low profile.

Do four-inch strands pose a security risk? Not likely for a typical consumer, especially if sensitive information is mixed with non-sensitive information, such as credit card offers and other junk mail that should be shredded anyway. The chances are that people will not waste time going through shredded material to reassemble information, but it is easy to avoid this risk by considering another product.

DON'T EVEN CONSIDERJun 24, 2008
By cropduster001
I purchased this at a BJ's Club because of the $49 price and 12 sheet capability.

I first tried putting 8 sheets of regular printer paper through and to begin with, it was hard to get the shreader to grab the paper. Secondly, not more than two inches into the machine, it overloaded and stopped. I didn't waste any time returning it!

This product doesn't come close to the companies claims. There's no need to give further details for this product because it's basicly worthless and there are no positive features about it.

Don't waste your money. Trust all the negative reviews.

Jams a lot and it breaks tooOct 04, 2006
By L. Pesce
I bought a 12 sheet shredder because I hoped that it would not jam when I shred credit card offers without opening them. Well, this one jammed, but not too often, just often enough to be annoying. Moreover, when it jammed it took forever to get it unstuck.

It is also made poorly, with a plastic gear in the middle of metal ones. Guess what, the plastic one got stripped. Never again.
