  • Efficient and Reliable for Home Office Use
Size: 8 Sheet
I’ve been using the Amazon Basics 8-Sheet Cross-Cut Shredder for several months now, and it has been a fantastic addition to my home office setup. Whether I’m dealing with personal documents or old credit cards, this shredder handles everything with ease. Performance & Capacity: This shredder can handle up to 8 sheets of 20-pound bond paper at a time, and it also shreds credit cards (one at a time), staples, and small paper clips. The cross-cut design ensures that shredded materials are reduced to approximately 0.2 x 0.7 inches, providing a P-4 security level, which is ideal for most personal and small office needs. shreddermachineusa.com +3 Amazon +3 Amazon +3 Amazon +1 Amazon +1 Run Time & Cooling: The shredder operates with a 3-minute continuous run time followed by a 30-minute cool-down period. This feature is particularly useful during extended shredding sessions, as it helps prevent overheating and ensures longevity. Amazon +2 Amazon +2 PCMAG +2 Ease of Use & Maintenance: The 3.7-gallon bin is easy to empty, and the lift-off top design makes maintenance straightforward. Some users have noted that while the bin is easy to empty, the small window can make it difficult to gauge when it's full. Amazon +1 Amazon +1 GearLab Noise Level: The shredder operates at a noise level comparable to other models in its class. While it's not the quietest option available, it's not excessively loud either. It's suitable for home office environments where occasional noise is acceptable. Overall Experience: Overall, the Amazon Basics 8-Sheet Cross-Cut Shredder offers excellent value for its price. It combines reliable performance with user-friendly features, making it an excellent choice for personal or small office use. If you're looking for an affordable and efficient shredder, this model is highly recommended. ... show more

  • Great for basic security!
Size: 12 Sheet
A decent price for a decent shredder! We don’t use this often but when we do, we usually have a lot of stuff to shred. It has not jammed on us yet. It is easy to use an empty when it is time. Works with different thickness of paper, but obviously this is not made for shredding a large thick product.

  • Very good for home use.
Size: 8 Sheet
I have run several garbage bags full of paper, credit cards and old utility bills and it jammed only once. I found that more than three sheets of paper will cause the motor to struggle. Aside from that I am very happy with this shredder and I would buy it again.

  • Ok for Small Jobs, Not for Bulk Shredding
Size: 8 Sheet
Ok for very limited use; overheats very quickly, like after 50 pages -- then you have to wait 10 mins. for it to cool off.
