  • Good quality at a good price
Size: 12 Sheet Color: Black
We were shredding a pile of documents and our old shredder died. We were able to get this one the same day (YMMV). We finished our prior pile of shred and keep going - no issues. The clear window is convenient to tell how full the receptacle is. The motorized top has a handle to easily lift it off to empty the bin. We've shredded about six pages at once, though it is supposed to be able to support more. ... show more

  • Buy it already!
Size: 8 Sheet Color: Black
This works perfect! I have had a collection of credit cards that have been expired for years but just never tossed... my husband gladly shredded them all for me with ease! I have only had one jam and that was what I believe to be user error because my husband had put too many papers in at once. I feel like this was a quality shredder and will hold up well for years to come! The top part is a little heavy but if you hold it by the handle when you remove it from the bottom it's really not an issue. I do find the noise level to be a little louder than I would like but I usually just lay the things I need shredded on top and wait for everyone to be awake to use it! My kids enjoy seeing what is new to shred LOL. I will say now that i've caught up the things I had accumulated to shred I don't usually do more than 1 or 2 pages at once, but when I first got it I did do probably 4 or 5 pages at once. I know the capacity is pretty good because it never jammed on me when I did that! I would recommend this to anyone thinking about getting a shredder and composting it after! My garden has really enjoyed them! ... show more

  • Dependable, Affordable 8-Sheet Cross-Cut Shredder
Size: 8 Sheet Color: Black
I picked up the Amazon Basics 8-Sheet Cross-Cut Paper Shredder for about $30, and it worked perfectly straight out of the box—no jams, no fuss, just smooth shredding. It shreds up to 8 sheets of 20-lb bond paper at once, plus credit cards, staples, and small paper clips with zero hiccups. Everything I needed for my home office security came without extra setup or unexpected limitations. Key Highlights 8-sheet cross-cut capacity meets P-4 security standards Dedicated slot for shredding one credit card at a time 3.7-gallon pull-out bin with clear window for easy fill-level monitoring 3-minute continuous run time with auto shut-off and a 30-minute cool-down to protect the motor Compact footprint fits neatly under or beside a desk Performance and Ease of Use Simple 4-mode switch (auto/on, off, reverse, forward) starts shredding as soon as paper enters the slot Rare jams clear instantly in reverse—no need to dismantle anything Comfortable carry handle on the shredder head makes emptying the bin a breeze Pro Tips Never exceed 8 sheets at once to avoid triggering the overload indicator and forcing a long cool-down. Engage reverse mode at the first sign of a jam before lifting off the head. Place on a stable, hard surface to minimize noise and vibration. Empty the bin when it’s half full to maintain peak shredding speed and airflow. ... show more

  • A little loud but gets the job done
Size: 8 Sheet Color: White
This shredder is a bit louder than I expected, but it works perfectly. It handles multiple sheets at once without jamming and shreds fast. The compact size and clean white look are a bonus. If noise isn’t a big deal to you, it’s a solid choice.

  • Great for the price!
Size: 8 Sheet Color: Black
Works great. Bucket, is small but can be changed. The head is separate from the trash can so very dynamic if needed. Does up to 8 sheets at a time and credits cards. Easy to use. Great for its price point.

  • Works wonderfully
Size: 8 Sheet Color: Black
It works just fine. It’s loud but not disruptively loud to where you can’t sit next to it and use it or be in the same room if someone else is using it. Easy to set up and operate. Shreds paper and folders just fine. You can shred one sheet or even three at a time if you wish. Not a bad on capacity since its size. But after 30th I would say push down on the pile inside for a few more sheets. ... show more

  • Good shedder
Size: 8 Sheet Color: Black
I had to purchase this for my job as they required it. I will say it works, effectively. It is pretty easy to use especially for Home use/office. The noise doesn't bother me at all, but the shredding sometimes gets stuck in the machine. Also, it easy to empty it out.

  • Great for the price!
Size: 8 Sheet Color: Black
Love this shredder. Not too loud but it is probably a little slower in shredding than other shredders. But for the price it’s great and the shreds are little squares instead of strips like my last shredder. Holds a pretty good load and has a window to see how full it is. The lid doesn’t lock on to the bin which is fine, guess it makes it easier to empty and it even comes with a handle so you can move it. ... show more
