One year old Ativa DX180d shredder from Office Depot, a heavy duty model, failed after relatively light use. The motor could be heard running but the gears would not engage. Turned out one out of 5 gears was plastic and was stripped, the rest were made of out of hard metal. Looks like something that was designed to fail. Called the company and was told that no replacement parts were available for any of their shredders. Looked online where a lot of people are having similar issues. Interesting. Looks like a scam.
