Shredzilla has three small .375" (9.525 mm) "No" icons - pictures with lines through them. The icons, like the shredder, are diminutive. The first is easy to see and recognize - the neck tie sported on many full-size shredders. The second and third took a closer look. The hand was completely gratuitous, as the 0.07" x 5.12" (1.778mm x 130.048mm) slot is sized for no more than one CD. No one could get even a pinkie in that slot.

The third symbol may be a bit dangerously self-defeating, since it requires such close scrutiny right above the CD slot. It took me a flashlight and magnifying glass to puzzle it out: A small, dark silhouette of a face in profile with a mass of long hair. I have just enough longish, blonde hair to get my tresses pulled painfully, but I keep such devices as the shredder turned off unless I'm running them.

I had neither the review time nor number of diskettes to try wearing out the Primera DS360, though I went through between 30 and 40 discs. I was a bit concerned because the warranty states that the product is to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for one year from date of purchase, but parts subject to wear and tear are to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for only 90 days (which parts fall under "wear and tear" are to be determined solely by Primera).
