I purchased a ativa cx108 paper shredder and within 24 hrs the machine died.
I did all the right things, oiled it with home depot oil, never more than 10 sheets, 3 min on 6 min off, no more than 30 min at t time. After 3 hrs the machine jammed up and after 4 hrs, the machine died. Shut the thing off for 8 hrs and it still didnt work.
One review site states that the ativa name is somehow connected by liscense to Office Depot. If that is correct, it doesnt say much for Office Depot, Inc.
