  • Best bang for the buck!
Size: 24 Sheet Color: Black
I purchased at least 10 shredders from all different brand in the past and have spent thousands of dollars. I had to shred at least 500 boxes of 10 ream size paper boxes since we were going digital . The average price was $79 all the way to $500. Some shredder automatically fed paper sheet per sheet, some shredder minced the paper, some shredder shred the paper crisscross, some shredded the paper course size. All broke down within six months to 3 years . I decided to purchase the Amazon brand to add to my collection of broken shredders . I am thinking if I can get a year out of it, it would be great. Surprisingly, this shredder has been one of the best shredder to date in terms of overall functionality . The price is decent, it can literally shred nonstop. The paper shred size is adequate allowing it to work nonstop without jamming frequently compared to all the previous shredders I have owned. Noise level is adequate. The bin is decent size. However, a bigger bin would be nice to minimize frequent dumping of the shredded paper. If you happen to work for the FBI or KGB, this shredder will not work for you in terms of paper mince size security but for the 98% of the individuals out there, this shredder will serve its purpose. ... show more

  • A paper shredder that works great on paper!
Size: 8 Sheet Color: Black
This is actually the third Amazon shredder that I have purchased. The original one i purchased was the 8 sheet shredder. I had it in my office at work. It worked great until it didnt (no fault of the shredder). I opened it up and tried to clean it out because it quit working and found metal credit cards inside. I didn't even know there was such a thing as metal credit cards. I tried and tried to get it going again but finally gave up. I ordered another Amazon basic shredder to replace it but a bigger one this time. I wasn't disappointed in the first one. It was a paper shredder and not a cutting torch so i never expected it to hold up to that. Was more disappointed in the person who decided my shredder was gonna cut metal than the shredder for not doing it. That was so dumb. Now I have set up a new home office and of course I got me another Amazon Basic shredder. I just got the 8 sheet shredder for home and its doing amazing. All of the shredders I have purchased have done a great job. You can forward or reverse the paper if it gets stuck. It has a clear window so you can see how much paper you have inside without taking the lid off. It also has a handle on it that you can use to help take the lid off for cleaning. I definitely like my shredder. I have purchased 3. ... show more

  • Great shredder for low-to-moderate home use!
Size: 8 Sheet Color: Black
The Amazon Basics shredder is simple to set up and use for my home office. I will say my shredding needs are fairly low, but I had a ton of paper accumulated over the years that I wanted to get rid of. It went right through all of them with relative ease. It's very compact and doesn't take up a lot of space. Now I will say, it's a bit noisy, but at the end of the day it's a shredder. I would be shocked to find one that was relatively quiet. Either way, it was very easy to shred through all my papers, junk mail, and even some credit cards. It shredded it with no issue and the shredded paper itself wasn't discernible or easy to parse through. It also stored a ton of paper, despite it being so compact. I only had to clear it out once. So far so good, I'll update this review if I run into any issues but as of right now--This works for me! ... show more

  • Good Size for a Home Office
Size: 8 Sheet Color: Black
This has been a good little shredder for my home office. I like the size—it doesn’t take up a lot of space, and the shape makes it easy to find a spot for it. It was simple to put together and has worked well for the papers I’ve shredded so far. I also like that it cross-cuts rather than just making long strips, which gives a little more security. I don’t regularly shred highly sensitive documents, but I still prefer the extra protection. I haven’t filled the basket yet, so I can’t really comment on how often it will need to be emptied, but so far, I’m happy with it. Overall, a nice, simple shredder for everyday home-office use that is not super loud. ... show more

  • Second time's a charm
Size: 8 Sheet Color: Black
I returned the first one I received (no power) but the replacement works just as I hoped. It's perfect for my needs -- the cross-cutting is especially effective and the shredded pieces fall into a small desk-sized waste basket with a window so you can watch your progress. I did note one reviewer's comment about not trying to max out feeding 8 sheets at a time (even though it should handle that amount). I generally feed 3-4 sheets at a time and have had no problems. That could get tedious, of course, if you have a lot to shred. I didn't try shredding credit cards so I can't comment on that. Also the shredder is pretty loud. Still, I'm very pleased with purchase -- it's already been a great help. ... show more

  • Heavy Duty Multi Paper Only Shedder
Size: 200 Sheet Color: Black
I really like this shredder. It’s pretty quiet and can be moved easily with wheels. What I liked the best is that the control panel is very easy to operate. Even the shred compartment is easily to access if there is a jam. One thing that is a little less than comfortable is how deep you have to put the paper in before the sensor detects it and the shredder wheels turn on. It’s not very good with shorter papers or small pieces. There is a Manuel setting for that. The confetti removal drawer is huge, which is a very nice feature. Even though it says 200 sheets I didn’t check that but it only will take 24 weight paper. Though Thin cardboard will fit in the slot it will not fit corrugated cardboard at all, the slot isn’t wide enough. It’s a really well built and sturdy. The exterior looks pretty nice. It is heavier than most smaller shredders. But considering all of the great features it has, it was only a problem for me, lifting it out of the box it came in. It came with extensive instructions for operation and safety which are easy to read but extensive and over kill imo. It’s well worth the price for extensive document shredding. But not heavy duty enough to shred the box it came in. ... show more

  • Good shredder, narrow slot
Size: 12 Sheet Color: Black
This shredder works nicely. Noise level is fairly high, like most shredders. I like the ability to lift the shredder from the bin to empty the bin. That is a better design than the ones with a pull-out drawer. Only issue with this shredder is the slot to put paper in is narrow, much more so than other shredders, making it more difficult to feed in the paper. They need to taper the opening to make it wider so it is easier to put paper in the slot. Would not cost more to do that, but would make the shredder better to use. ... show more
