  • Great shredder easy to put together and fix
Size: 8 Sheet Color: Black
I'd say for it's very first use it did great! It's very small and compact, its very efficient for its size. Incredibly easy to assemble, literally two pieces and nothing requires screwing in. Its a little noisy but nothing out of the ordinary, it's a paper shredder lol. I'd say it's pretty durable especially because our first day of having it we shredded 6 trash bags of paper shreds! So it works really well and I surprisingly didnt fry the motor. 10/10 very nice for the prize and size. If something happens to our current shredder i'd probably just buy this one again. The only con is that if you have a bad enough paper jam you might need to disassemble it because the forward and reverse option dont work when it jams. Disassembly is super easy. But if you take the front cover off, there's three things you need to make sure at lined up before you screw it back together. You line up the LED lights to the holes on front, and there's another small piece that goes to the on/off switch, that also needs to be lined up, and of course the shredder. It's easy. Hard to mess up. Highly recommend ... show more

  • Compact, Reliable, and Surprisingly Powerful
Size: 8 Sheet Color: Black
This paper shredder turned out to be exactly what I needed. Despite its compact size, it delivers impressive performance. It can handle up to 8 sheets at a time without slowing down, and it even shreds credit cards with no trouble. The cross‑cut design gives me real peace of mind, since the pieces are small enough that no one could realistically reassemble them to steal personal information. Using it couldn’t be easier. Just plug it in, feed the paper, and it gets straight to work. There’s no complicated setup or learning curve — it’s a simple, efficient tool that does its job well. If you’re looking for a space‑saving shredder that offers strong security and everyday convenience, this one is a great choice. ... show more

  • Can't expect miracles at this price, functional.
Size: 200 Sheet Color: Black
Shredder works well, we shredded quite a bit over a few days. Using auto feeder mode does jam up, or will start spinning continuously if you aren't diligent about making sure there are no half sheets or folded sheets of paper in the stack...So it's not a set and forget unless you know your stack is clean....Bin is OK sized, a couple stacks approaching the 200 sheet mark will fill it up and cause the bin full light to illuminate and shredder to stop.....Also need to make sure any stapled sheets are not too thick, anything more than a 4-5 sheets stapled will cause issues in feeding. I eventually just started removing all staples....Only real issue didn't like was when bin full lights up, and you open the shredder to pull out the bin, the shreds are so stacked up in the back when you pull the bin out, quite a bit of shred pieces fall about especially in the back of the bin....Kind of messy and a little annoying. Make sure you have a vacuum handy for clean up afterward.....Otherwise, for the money you can't expect miracles and it shreds fine manually and the auto feed works decently overall....Would buy it again. ... show more

  • Nice home / office shredder
Size: 8 Sheet Color: Black
great crisscross paper shredder. filled up the basket twice and doing a great job. ideal weight to pick up and carry to another room. ease to use, bin can be full and to lift the shredder head off to dump shredded paper it’s great.

  • Buy it!!!!! Absolutely great 😊
Size: 12 Sheet Color: Black
First off, let me say that this paper shredder machine is absolutely AMAZING!!!!!!!!! 🤩. Our household literally had 6 garbage bags full of papers to shred. We usually go to the public shred-it events but honestly, I prefer to shred my own papers for privacy reasons. When I tell you that it took me two whole weekends (3hours) each Saturday to take out all of the papers from the plastic envelopes in all of the bags and throw them away separately then shred the papers. I can finally say that everything is shredded and discarded and the atmosphere feels so much more cleaner, airy and relaxing though they were hiding in cabinets but still 😎. This shredder has been a blessing to my household literally. It shreds 12 sheets at once, and even plastic credit cards. I 100% recommend this product. It’s smaller than I expected it to be and honestly I’m glad. It does the job and doesn’t take up too much space. Plus, the price is absolutely great 😊. ... show more

  • Workhorse shredder that just keeps going (even with staples)
Size: 8 Sheet Color: Black
I bought the **Amazon Basics 8-Sheet Cross Cut Paper Shredder & Credit Card Shredder (Black)** and it’s been an absolute workhorse. I’ve used it **every day for about 3 months**, and it has handled everything I’ve thrown at it without drama. What I like most: * **No clogs, ever** — and I’m not babying it. I regularly toss in paper **with staples still in it** and it just eats through. * **Versatile** — I use it for **regular paper, credit cards, and plastic** and it performs consistently. * **Easy to empty** — the bin comes out cleanly and it’s not a frustrating mess. * **Easy to clean** — maintenance is straightforward and doesn’t feel like a chore. Bottom line: **I recommend it.** For the price, this shredder is absolutely worth it. If you want something simple, dependable, and surprisingly tough for day-to-day home/office use, this one delivers. ... show more

  • Good value
Size: 8 Sheet Color: Black
This thing ABSOLUTELY SHREDS!!! ...small amounts at a time... works great for regular shredding of mail and whatnot, however i had years of mail I had been waiting to shred and it definitely pushed this thing to the limit. got pretty warm but as long as you're not planning on doing a 4 hour nonstop shred session this thingholds up great for the cost. Amazon Basics for the win. ... show more
