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.

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.

Ok for very limited use; overheats very quickly, like after 50 pages -- then you have to wait 10 mins. for it to cool off.

Works great! Shreds up to about 6 papers at a time. It holds a lot of shreds. Worth the money!

This is one powerful compact shredding beast! Works just as described, so easy to set up and use its unbelievable. I shredded so many papers that I needed to dispose of, and this little bugger even shreds old credit cards! There is a spot right in the center of the feed where you place the card and zip, its shredded. Just amazing. Powerful enough to handle shredding multiple sheets at a time. Big enough to handle and hold lots of shredded paper, but compact enough to be able to stand right next to my printer. The window on the front is a big plus to see how full the bin is and when it needs to be emptied, which is so nice to have so I don't have to keep taking the top shredding component off to look inside to gauge if its too full. It has not jammed up, has not overheated, and continues to work perfectly. The top portion with the shredder fits perfectly on the bin and is not ridiculously heavy to take off when its time to empty the bin, so its easy to lift on and off without a fight. It is also not crazy loud like some shredders in the past. Instructions on how it functions are clear and easy to understand as well. I have nothing bad to say, and I am thrilled with how it looks and more importantly how it functions.
