Staples MailMate(TM) Shredder Review

The MailMate is a counter top paper shredder distributed by Staples.  MailMate has an attractive black and chrome design and fits onto my kitchen counter perfectly.  It is a little larger than my toaster.

I first saw this product at a friend's home.  I loved the concept of it; you open your mail, read it and then deposit it into the shredder.  What could be easier?  Especially when you get tons of dreaded junk mail.

MailMate is incredibly easy to use.  You turn on the power, insert the item to be shredded and your done.  When you need to clean out the debris, just pull the handle attached to the bin on the front of the machine, dump the debris in the garbage and reinsert the bin.  Done!

The MailMate is also able to shred credit cards, cd's, dvd's and up to 10 pages.  There is also a safety function which will shut the machine off automatically if you forget to.

In the day and age of identity theft, the MailMate is a definite must have.
