Novitech 6 Sheet Cross Cut Shredder Review Summary

Identity theft is a growing problem and the Novitech 6 Sheet Cross Cut Shredder aims to eliminate this problem through its paper- shredding action. Reviewers appreciate the cross- cut shredding action of the Novitech 6 Sheet Cross Cut Shredder because it makes identity theft nearly impossible and they also like the low price of this device. “Protect Yourself Without Bankrupting Yourself”, says one reviewer. But other reviewers are lined up against the Novitech 6 Sheet Cross Cut Shredder due to its constant jamming of sheets of paper, its loud noise, and its limited usefulness for different types of shredding. “Shred This Shredder- It’s the Worst”, says one dissatisfied reviewer and most others agree that the Novitech 6 Sheet Cross Cut Shredder might be inexpensive, but its inconsistent reliability make it a Misc. Office Device that isn’t worth the time.

Protect Yourself Without Bankrupting Yourself

AUG

2007

When my ex-girlfriend and I split up in February, a lot of things needed to happen. Once everything got sorted out, I realized that I still had a bunch of old paperwork in her name, stuff like bank statements, credit card statements, tax returns etc. Just stuff I had filed away not expecting us to...

Hand Ripping is more effective

JAN

I realize the NoviTech paper shredded is is a cheap shredder, but does cheap have to mean completely useless? This thing jams shredding credit card receipts and single sheets of paper. It takes ten minutes to clean out the clogs from trying to shred just one or two pieces of paper.

I'm back to ripping up by hand. Possibly burning receipts in the sink with a book of matches. Anything but using this shredder.

It's truly impressive just how bad this product is. It's as though someone discoverd an old Soviet-era warehouse filled with paper shredders and decided to sell them in the US. Remarkably... read full review »

The NoviTech shredder is one of those devices I take time out to write a review for. I save this for the top of the line stuff (iPhone 3G freaking RULES!). I also reserve it for the bottom feeders, such as this horrible waste of 50 bucks known as the NoviTech shredder. I finally pulled the mechanism apart to try to get the activator working, but to no avail. Save you money and get something that works, because this shredder doesnt. I don't even want to give this ONE star. They shoudl give ME five stars for sitting to write this.

Novitech 6 Sheet Cross Cut Shredder

I picked this unit up used for under $10. Honestly, it does better than expected. I shred standard bank documents and the occasional credit card. It has a 6 sheet limit, that means 6 layers of paper not 4 sheets of paper folded in an envelope. It also has a duty cycle of 2 min. on and 4 min. off. Don't expect miracles, but it will get the job done if used as intended.

Novi tech paper shredder=Danger!

Buying this shredder was the worst thing I could have done. It's not a safe shredder, because it has an auto on/off switch. While it wasn't in use my 8-month old puppy knocked it over with her paw. She then tried to pick it up with her mouth, and her tounge got stuck. It shredded half her tounge into little strips. We had to rush her to the vet where she underwent 3 and a half hours of very expensive surgery. Because of this shredder, my puppy has a damaged tongue. If anyone has puppies, cats, even young children DO NOT BUY THIS SHREDDER!!!!!!!!!!!!

Novitech 5 Sheet Shredder was the worst shredder ever. My daughter and son like to help me shred papers and they know to keep there fingers away. I had a few papers to shred and my daughter wanted to help. I was watching her and in a split second her finger got pulled in and I had to unplug the machine and pull her finger out. What a nightmare. She now has six stiches in her liitle finger and had to have x-rays. Thank god it was still attached.
