This is the quietest shredder I've ever had. It cuts everything so very small. Very micro. No worries about privacy with this shredder. The speed seems normal to me. I'm very, very pleased with this.

Hi Rita, We love this shredder and use it for our dental practice. It's so quiet, we shred docs with the patients sitting in our reception area. It's really that quiet, quick and powerful!! We oil it every time we empty the bin like SimplyShred recommends to keep it working efficiently. We probably fill up the bin 2-3 times a week. Couldn't be happier with this product. Let me know if you want more info. - Michael

Yes, it is a little noisy but not unbearable. I have shredded for 45 minutes without being annoyed by the sound. It is micro and it is moderately fast.

I do not think it is loud and I believe it shreds reasonable fast. It really depends on your standard by which you judge it.

Relative to the two elcheapo Sam's Club shredders I previously went through, this shredder is a dream. It's quieter, cuts much finer and is much less problem prone than the others I have used. It cuts about the same speed as the others.

I think it is fabulous, seems fast to me, I don't know how the noise level rates to others, It has never gotten jammed and shreds paper into tiny bits..I highly recommend this shredder.

12amp, two speed. This is a very powerful blower. My brother borrowed this blower from me and was amazed of the power. It also converts to a leaf shredder and converts to about seven bags to one bag. I recommend this product to everyone. Well worth the money. I purchased in May of 2012 and it is as if I just purchased. My reviews are based on quality and performance. If you are looking for something of such, purchase this product. You will not be disappointed!!!!VERY POWERFUL..... Hope this helps in your decision!!! Sorry I forgot to answer your orginal question regarding the CFM)specs. The CFM-390 and the MPH-230. You also can watch YOU TUBE video to show you how to convert to leaf shredder as well. 12amp, two speed. This is a very powerful blower.

The shredder is large, however is on wheels. I do not know how that could help you, I really can not say enough good things about this item. We probably do shred more than the average household, because my husband has a office for his Job in our home, but I would have bought this anyway. It is not an eye sore. Worth every penny! I tried smaller ones, just did not last. Hope this helps.

From the outside, it's very quiet. Inside, it's a tad less than a blow dryer. It depends on the speed.

I've had it running for about ten minutes continuously without a problem, again it is not a heavy duty shredder but 10 minutes 8-10 sheets of paper is pretty solid, so far I love and it's been several months.

All I know is that it doesn't make much noise. A very good shredder that works well.

It's pretty loud. I wouldn't use it when anyone else is sleeping because it would wake them. It's not quite as loud as hair dryer but it's still pretty loud.

It's tough for me to answer that since I've only had one or two other shredders in my lifetime. I can say that when using the closed-lid shredding option (the one which I don't feel works very well), the shredder is quieter than most others because the action is going on inside the machine.

This is my third shredder and all of them labored a bit when the max sheet load is used. So, I don't go beyond maybe 8 sheets with this one. As for speed, it works just as fast as my previous shredder which was a crosscut shredder.

There is always of necessity a certain amount of noise involved with shredding, but I thought it much quieter than any I've ever used--but in the past I've always bought on the cheaper side and they were quite noisy, so by comparison this one is a dream. For instance, if someone else is watching TV or on the phone, I don't have to wait till they are done to run the shredder like I have in the past. I think you'll be happy with it.

Haven't had any trouble with this shredder. We shred 10 or 15 min, Let cooland go again, Love the cut. Also bought the oil for it but haven't used it yet.

It is VERY quiet. Obviously the cutting action creates some noise. However, I have been attaching a shop vac to the unit. You will want to do the same in order to limit the sawdust. The vacuum makes the process loud. I hope you don't plan to watch TV or try to carry on a conversation instead of concentrating on your work! The machine is so quiet you can easily forget where the blade is and take off a few fingertips.

It makes what sounds like a little bell noise while it is shredding. It's most pronounced with you use the credit care shredder slot. Works great, just makes a strange noise.

Rita, I have one of these shredders. I won't tell you it is quiet, but I think it sounds like a shredder. It does a super job of shredding documents. I have no problem with it.

Much quieter than my former shredder. Honestly, I love this thing. It shreds things up tiny and isn't "too" loud. I am really glad I bought it. I has a bigger bin than my old shredder and I can look through the bin door. Get it, you won't regret it.

I'm not sure what you mean by "size". But, the product description states that you can shred 20 sheets at a time. I have found that this shredder can easily shred many sheets at a time. But, my chief complaint is that this shredder overheats very quickly. I shred EVERYTHING! So, unfortunately, I still need the use of two shredders. When this shredder overheats, I need to use my other shredder while this one cools down. If you don't do as much shredding as I do, then this shredder should work o.k. for you.

I haven't used it for a long period of time yet, but I will after taxes and I shred old papers. The last one I had for many years and it shred a lot at a time and it was OK, so that's why I bought this brand again.
