small but noisy!
2008-11-09does small jobs so even for my limited mails I spend few minutes to shredd stuff, noisy too
BUT small size so fits everywhere :)

Good little shredder
2008-11-09On the plus side, it is convenient to have a shredder that sits right on my counter so that as soon as I walk in, I immediate eliminate and shred the junk mail. Less junk, less clutter.
On the minus side, I would have preferred that the resulting shreds be much smaller.

Compact and easy to use: great for occasional home use
2008-10-31I really like this shredder. It's much more compact than most shredders, so it sits easily on a desk and doesn't take up much room. You can leave it on 'auto' so that it is always ready to shred, or switch it off for extra safety.
The container is clear, making it easy to see when it is full. Also, it's very easy to remove the top and empty the container. The only downside of that is the top doesn't snap on tightly - so it's easy to remove, but it seems it would also be relatively easy for the top to come off if you bumped it off the table.
The opening to the shredder is fairly narrow, so you have to fold 8.5 x 11 paper, but if you use it primarily for bills and old credit cards, it's perfect (but only takes about 4 sheets or 1 card at a time).
If you want something for a home office and expect to have more substantial needs, get a bigger unit with a more powerful motor - and one that fits 8.5 x 11 paper.

A very cute shredder
2008-10-24I had been searching for a perfect shredder for several month. My first shredder quit working a little more than one year after the purchase. I'm glad I found this nice shredder on Amazon.com. It sits perfectly on my desk. Although it is a little bit small but very efficient for dayily use. The design is also very thoughtful.

Shredder
2008-10-15I read all the reviews before I purchased this shredder. Its a great little machine. Of course you can't push a textbook or even 8 pieces of paper, but it destroys junk mail with the shiftness. Cons are that the basket gets full fast and it isn't latched to the top which is kind of annoying. Also pieces of paper get stuck in the blades. Ends up being a messy cleanup.

Digital camera batteries
Batteries are vital for all photography and makiing sure that you have a spare set is essential if you intend to take alot of pictures. Print digital also recommend that when deciding upon a digital camera keep in mind what sort of batteries it takes. Does it take rechargeable batteries, are the batteries built and do you have to plug it into the mains, or does the camera only take standard batteries, if so then it can become exspensive if you are a keen photographer and use the camera alot.
There are three types of rechargeable batteries: NiCD, NiMH and Lithium-Ion. Nickel Metal Hydride are the most popular rechargeable batteries at present. They hold more charge than their counter parts NiCD and don't suffer from memory effect. The one small down fall of these batteries is that they will loose a small amount of charge even if they are not being used, so be sure to check the batteries before using them.
When you purchase a new digital camera make sure to ask what type of battery ...

Introduction

Generally when design, performance and technological improvements are made on electronic products there is a reduction in size as well to make them more compact.
For example the early day radios were built in large cabinets and required radio vacuum tubes. Eventually, transistor radios were constructed and were more portable. Today, a radio can be as small as a wristwatch.
Camcorders have also evolved in tec ...
