  • Perfect Little Shredder for Home Use
Size: 8 Sheet Color: White
This little paper shredder is exactly what I needed for my house! It’s compact and can be easily stored away when not in use, which is perfect for smaller spaces. Despite its size, it works really well — shredding paperwork smoothly and efficiently. It’s great for everyday personal use, and I love how simple it is to operate. Definitely a handy home office essential! ... show more

  • 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

  • Good Value
Size: 8 Sheet Color: Black
This shredder was a replacement for one that had worn out after many years of use. This seems to be of at least equal quality and performance to the one we replaced. It's auto start feature seems to work well and it has sufficient power for all the shredding needs of my small home office. Price was excellent. ... 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

  • 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

  • Great Little Shredder
Size: 8 Sheet Color: Black
She is small but mighty! Great item, cut my old credit cards as well as multiple pages without hesitation. So reasonably priced for how well it works! Just unbox and put the machine directly on can which has a see through window to see level of shredded material. Not super noisy and it’s a stationary base. ... show more

  • DON’T OVERLOAD IT OR YOU’LL THINK IT’S BROKEN, HERE’S HOW TO ACTUALLY USE IT
Size: 8 Sheet Color: Black
AS SOMEONE DOING A LONG OVERDUE HOME CLEANOUT, I BOUGHT THIS because old mail, expired documents, and credit card offers pile up faster than trash day. The main reason people buy this shredder is to safely get rid of personal information without making a mess or spending office level money. What I wanted was something compact that could live under a desk, handle regular household paperwork, and not feel like a toy. This shredder hits that balance and immediately felt more solid than the ultra cheap strip cut models. Here is the usage tip I wish Amazon spelled out clearly. Treat the eight sheet rating as a maximum, not a goal. For normal mail and mixed paper, five to six sheets at a time works best and keeps it running smoothly. Feed pages straight and give it a second between loads so the motor does not heat up. For credit cards, insert one at a time and let it finish fully before adding anything else. Doing this completely avoids jams and extends the life of the cutters, especially if you shred in short sessions instead of marathon runs. The minor downside is the waste bin fills faster than you expect because cross cut pieces are denser, and it is not whisper quiet. That said, for home use it has been reliable, easy to maintain, and far more secure than strip shredders. If you want dependable document destruction without paying for a bulky office shredder, this is a smart buy that does exactly what it should when used correctly. ... show more

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
