Compact durable shredder

Can Cool Tool readers recommend a compact, but robust paper shredder that holds up for them? By "compact" I mean smaller than a small filing cabinet, which is the size of the "heavy duty" model we have at work. I've been through a number of crappy low-duty models, and need a better one. I've tried two from my local Target: one was a Michael Graves design, a total piece of crap which would overheat, and eventually split apart internally. The second is a little NoviTech -- same little wastebasket design. Overheats frequently, jams pretty easily, though hasn't yet died. I anticipate having paper to shred for years to come. A recommendation of a compact, but robust paper shredder welcomed.
