I purchased at least 10 shredders from all different brand in the past and have spent thousands of dollars. I had to shred at least 500 boxes of 10 ream size paper boxes since we were going digital . The average price was $79 all the way to $500. Some shredder automatically fed paper sheet per sheet, some shredder minced the paper, some shredder shred the paper crisscross, some shredded the paper course size. All broke down within six months to 3 years . I decided to purchase the Amazon brand to add to my collection of broken shredders . I am thinking if I can get a year out of it, it would be great. Surprisingly, this shredder has been one of the best shredder to date in terms of overall functionality . The price is decent, it can literally shred nonstop. The paper shred size is adequate allowing it to work nonstop without jamming frequently compared to all the previous shredders I have owned. Noise level is adequate. The bin is decent size. However, a bigger bin would be nice to minimize frequent dumping of the shredded paper. If you happen to work for the FBI or KGB, this shredder will not work for you in terms of paper mince size security but for the 98% of the individuals out there, this shredder will serve its purpose.

The Amazon Basics shredder is simple to set up and use for my home office. I will say my shredding needs are fairly low, but I had a ton of paper accumulated over the years that I wanted to get rid of. It went right through all of them with relative ease. It's very compact and doesn't take up a lot of space. Now I will say, it's a bit noisy, but at the end of the day it's a shredder. I would be shocked to find one that was relatively quiet. Either way, it was very easy to shred through all my papers, junk mail, and even some credit cards. It shredded it with no issue and the shredded paper itself wasn't discernible or easy to parse through. It also stored a ton of paper, despite it being so compact. I only had to clear it out once. So far so good, I'll update this review if I run into any issues but as of right now--This works for me!

This is actually the third Amazon shredder that I have purchased. The original one i purchased was the 8 sheet shredder. I had it in my office at work. It worked great until it didnt (no fault of the shredder). I opened it up and tried to clean it out because it quit working and found metal credit cards inside. I didn't even know there was such a thing as metal credit cards. I tried and tried to get it going again but finally gave up. I ordered another Amazon basic shredder to replace it but a bigger one this time. I wasn't disappointed in the first one. It was a paper shredder and not a cutting torch so i never expected it to hold up to that. Was more disappointed in the person who decided my shredder was gonna cut metal than the shredder for not doing it. That was so dumb. Now I have set up a new home office and of course I got me another Amazon Basic shredder. I just got the 8 sheet shredder for home and its doing amazing. All of the shredders I have purchased have done a great job. You can forward or reverse the paper if it gets stuck. It has a clear window so you can see how much paper you have inside without taking the lid off. It also has a handle on it that you can use to help take the lid off for cleaning. I definitely like my shredder. I have purchased 3.

This has been a good little shredder for my home office. I like the size—it doesn’t take up a lot of space, and the shape makes it easy to find a spot for it. It was simple to put together and has worked well for the papers I’ve shredded so far. I also like that it cross-cuts rather than just making long strips, which gives a little more security. I don’t regularly shred highly sensitive documents, but I still prefer the extra protection. I haven’t filled the basket yet, so I can’t really comment on how often it will need to be emptied, but so far, I’m happy with it. Overall, a nice, simple shredder for everyday home-office use that is not super loud.

I've been very happy with this shredder. It's compact enough for my home office but powerful enough to handle paper and credit cards without any issues. The cross-cut shredding gives me confidence that sensitive information is being completely destroyed. It is a little louder than I expected, but honestly, as long as it shreds everything thoroughly, I don't mind the noise. It's easy to use, reliable, and a great value for the price. Definitely a worthwhile purchase!

I returned the first one I received (no power) but the replacement works just as I hoped. It's perfect for my needs -- the cross-cutting is especially effective and the shredded pieces fall into a small desk-sized waste basket with a window so you can watch your progress. I did note one reviewer's comment about not trying to max out feeding 8 sheets at a time (even though it should handle that amount). I generally feed 3-4 sheets at a time and have had no problems. That could get tedious, of course, if you have a lot to shred. I didn't try shredding credit cards so I can't comment on that. Also the shredder is pretty loud. Still, I'm very pleased with purchase -- it's already been a great help.

Love my new Amazon Basics 8 sheet Cross Cut Paper Shredder!! So impressed, compact size allows for storage almost anywhere conveniently. Quality is great, sturdy, exterior & quality interior. Not oversized, just right, easy to move around. Power is strong and shreds items so easily. Operation of unit is also easy. Priced very reasonable. Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you Amazon!!

I needed to buy a new shredder after burning out the motor on the last one we had (yes, it was old, I had a big bag of papers to get rid of, and should've known better!). The Amazon's Choice icon for this one caught my eye, and the discounted price and good reviews had me dropping it in my cart right away. This economical shredder is super for quickly shredding old credit cards and expired insurance or membership cards that might have personal info embedded in them, even though it handles only one at a time. It's noisy, but efficient, and has overload and overheat lights to warn when the 3 minutes of shred time is up. My main problem is probably more operator error than not--I tried to shred 4 pages of 8" x 11" papers, but they kept getting pulled over to one side, which then partially jammed the shredder blades. I still had the same problem if I didn't hold onto the very top of the papers with a couple of fingers to be sure they didn't scrunch up, and since it shreds faster with fewer pages, I usually just do 2 pages at a time. The shredder part is impressively sturdy, and fits well on top of the basket; the handle is a nice feature for picking it up to move the whole unit. I definitely recommend this handy shredder for not just the security, but also the quality.
