This thing has some power!
Size: 8 Sheet
Color: Black
I love this shredder! It is just what I needed. I have had mine for about close to a year and it is still holding up. I can say just try to shred thick paper as it can cause it to jam a bit and you will have to give it some time and it will shred it. Other than that, this is a great size to have by your desk or under your desk, speed is great, it has some great power and great value.

Great small size shredder
Size: 8 Sheet
Color: Black
This shredder works way beyond my expectations. Great for a home office or den. I shred a lot of paper and this one is great in my home office/den. Very easy to empty as there is a handle which lifts off and just have to take the bottom half to the trash bin. I do have a large shredder for when I do my 6 month clean up of file drawers- but it is a pain to empty.

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.

Decent for Light Use, Overheats Quickly During Bulk Shredding
Size: 24 Sheet
Color: Black
This Amazon Basics cross-cut shredder has P-4 security and can handle paper, CDs and credit cards. The pullout waste basket is convenient to empty, and the black compact design fits nicely in my home office. When shredding small batches, it works well and cuts documents into tiny pieces for privacy. However, it overheats fast when I try to use the full 24-sheet capacity. I keep hitting thermal shutdown, which slows down my work a lot. It also gets fairly noisy while running. It’s fine for occasional light document disposal, but don’t expect it for heavy-duty shredding. If you only shred a few papers at a time, it will serve you.

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.

Love This Machine
Size: 8 Sheet
Color: Black
Just as described. 2 parts-top section w shredder w handle and base which is the collection bin. Top sits easily onto bottom bin. Like many other reviewers, I am a big fan of this mighty little machine. Works like a dream staples and all and is a great small size. I keep it turned on all the time next to my kitchen chair for easy access. I just finished shredding 2 file drawers of docs. It worked perfectly- I did space out the shredding to avoid over use. The handle on the top of the shredder motor component makes emptying the base very easy. I recommend this product.

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.

Works fine, but more for light, occasional, short period use.
Size: 8 Sheet
Color: Black
This is a nice compact (light duty) shredder for general home use. It isn't any noisier or quieter than other shredders; fairly light and easy to move around; the handle on the top to lift the shredder from the basket is nice to have. While the shredder is rated at 8 sheets (standard 20# printer paper) maximum, it really seems to struggle even with two sheets. It does the job as with credit cards or heavier paper, but sometimes it sounds like it is ready to stop. The continuous runtime is only 3 minutes so it does get a little hot even after use for a short time. While it doesn't or hasn't jammed, running it in reverse every so often helps to clear the shredder and makes it run forward smoother. It is very reasonably priced for the product, but do not expect it to function as well or as long as the higher end models. Light, occasional, and short period is use is probably the best for this shredder.
