  • Shreds like a champ
Size: 24 Sheet Color: Black
This is a cool shredder that really shreds a bunch of papers at once. I love the shreds it makes, they are perfect for pet bedding, and the waste drawer holds a ton before you have to empty it. It has solidly great safety features and is easy to use. I appreciate that the buttons and readout messages are straightforward and I don't need to refer to the manual every time I turn it on or a message pops up. I've used it enough to make 4 giant garbage bags of shreds since it arrived, I had a backlog of papers that had been stacking up for months! And it's still going strong. I've needed to oil it twice with so much shredding, you can tell it's time to oil when it just starts feeling like it takes a half second more to shred. Glad I grabbed this, I love that I'm able to keep secure and repurpose our non-inky paper as bedding or mulch, it works great! Not too noisy, either! ... show more

  • Great Shredder — Works Smoothly and Feels Secure
Size: 8 Sheet Color: Black
This shredder works great and is very easy to use. It handles paper and cards smoothly without jamming, and the cross‑cut makes everything feel much more secure. Perfect size for home use and strong enough for regular shredding needs.

  • Effective and Affordable! Good Purchase!
Size: 8 Sheet Color: White
As someone who gets a lot of mail, I appreciate having this shredder. It meets my needs and works well. It said it could handle metal credit cards but actually had more difficulty than I expected when I needed to shred one of mine. The credit card was pretty thick though. Overall I like it and would recommend. The instructions say not to shred envelopes with the transparent, plastic address section but what’s the point of having a shredder if I still have to open an envelope that I know contains junk mail? Thankfully, the shredder still works well despite me breaking the rules lol ... show more

  • Fair price, cuts well, does the job.
Size: 12 Sheet Color: Black
Good product and a fair price. The "grab" of the paper is al little slow for my taste as you must push it in deep before it starts feeding. However, it cuts well and handles thicker stock too. It's a heavy unit which usually means the parts and quality should be good. For the price, I'd say it should give me many years of service before replacement is due, after all nothing lasts forever. ... show more

  • Works great out of the box!
Size: 8 Sheet Color: White
This is smaller than expected but perfect for my office. Much quieter than the old one I have which is twice the size. It is relatively quiet and did a good job shredding the papers I tested the machine with. Hope it lasts. Some reviews said it doesn’t so I got the 4 year extended warranty from Asurion at the time of purchase. ... show more

  • Amazon Shredder Review
Size: 8 Sheet Color: Black
Purchased as a gift and works wonderfully. My spouse receives a lot of junk mail, especially for credit cards, so I was looking for something small that could handle a bit of everything, and this little guy does a great job! It can be a bit noisy when in use, but it is small and quite durable for the affordable price. I would recommend this to others, and I would happily purchase this again! ... show more

  • great price unexpected speed and shreds paper to very small size
Size: 18 Sheet Color: Black
better than one i paid $250 for years ago at staples. it really does like 18 sheets at a time i kept feeding it didnt get clogged once. however if you have a lot to shred when the basket wiht the window looks like its getting full id advise to pull the bucket out and clean the blades bc otherwise bucket will fill and prevent you from pulling it out. i like that it doesnt stop you like my old one and make you dump it but you have to stop before its too full. it cuts smaller peices than my old one. which is better for security. its really a great product and its soooo fast. if you like to shred your documents and mail so someone doesnt get your info from the garbage and try to steal your identity or get into your accounts. its a no brainer. i never thought it would shred so fast so small. impressed. especially for the price ... show more

  • Reliable Compact Shredder That Helps Cut Down Clutter
Size: 8 Sheet Color: White
Fits perfectly under my desk and has been great for shredding documents. It’s not the quietest, but it’s not overly loud either, just something to keep in mind if you’re sitting close to it. The design is sleek and simple, so it doesn’t look bulky or out of place. The handle makes it easy to lift the shredder off the bin, and it blends in nicely with the overall design. It shreds paper fairly quickly and hasn’t jammed on me so far. The card shredder has also been a huge help for getting rid of old credit cards and similar items. It also holds a good amount of paper, so it takes a while before you need to empty it. Overall, It’s been really helpful for clearing out a lot of paper clutter. A couple small things I would improve: the bin could use a bit of weight, since the top can feel a little top-heavy when removing or putting it back on. It would also be nice if it could shred more than 8 sheets at a time. Overall, it works well, gets the job done, and I’m pretty satisfied. I don’t see myself needing to shop for another one anytime soon. ... show more
