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.

It combines reliable performance with user-friendly features, making it an excellent choice for personal or small office use.

Great paper shredder! Works well, no jamming. Cuts paper and credit cards up really well. I've had it for over a year with no problems. Good price, recommend.

Our security cameras picked up a competitor going through our trash two Sundays in a row. The very next week, we purchased this shredder. That Monday, we all had a good laugh watching him dig through the bags, only to find nothing but perfectly shredded paper—proof he’d been busted. This shredder has been rock-solid. It’s dependable, surprisingly quiet, and hasn’t disturbed anyone in the office. It’s worked like a champ for years, which says a lot about the quality. When it’s time to empty, I just slip a trash bag over the bin, flip it upside down, and it’s done—simple and clean. You might want to try it.

Works great, can't do a lor of paper at once, but it does the job. Fills up quickly and it's kinda heavy.

I have had shredders before, but none have worked as well or felt as sturdy as this one. I had a shopping bag full of papers I needed to have shredded, so I bought this 12 sheet shredder instead of taking the papers (junk mail w/my info on it, bills, etc.), to a UPS store. No problems shredding all of it, including old credit cards. A couple of times I put too many sheets in at once, and the shredder stopped, I hit the reverse, and easily removed the stuck sheets without any harm to the machine. It did not overheat (my old one did after just a few minutes), and storing it after I was done, was easy. The basket is a bit on the small side, though adequate and much sturdier than my old shredder’s. The glass (hard plastic?) window in the basket made it easy to see when it needed to be emptied. The top that contains the shredding system and all the electricals to run it, is very heavy, thus, it was good to have a sturdy basket. The top fits well into the basket. My previous shredder always felt unstable, but this one did not. I will probably be using WD-40 oil to make sure it continues to work well. I need to learn how often that is recommended, and will fully read through the enclosed instructions to learn how often - if it’s recommended at all. Some comments mentioned it before I decided to buy this, so I’ll look into it since I never oiled other shedders. (Maybe that’s why they didn’t last? - Who knows…) For this one, though: so far, so good. Seems to be well worth the $40 price.

I have had this a while now and it has lasted longer than any other I have bought in the past including fellowes. Key is maintenance, you cant just run and run and run without using cutting oil to keep them clean and sharp. Would 100% buy again.

So after 4 YEARS, I can tell you this about the the Amazon basics paper shredder. Absolutely built to last. JAWS is still shredding after all those years ! If anything should happen to JAWs after this review, I will without a doubt buy another one. Great product.
