  • Strong, Fast, Paper Shredder
Size: 24 Sheet
This Amazon Basics shredder was ordered to replace a shredder we have had for about 10 years. Frankly, I was surprised at the quality of this shredder. It is a powerful shredder for home or small office. The thing I really like about this shredder is that it is much quieter than our previous shredder. Yes, it does not make some noise, but nothing like the shrill, high pitched, loud sound that our previous shredder made. The largest number of pages of paper that we have tried so far is 10, and it went through those pages like a knife through soft butter. We have also shredded "junk mail" we've received. In most cases, the envelopes are opened and the contents "thinned" if the packet is thick. But, in any case, there were no issues shredding these types of material either. It is definitely as quick as we need it to be. The pages are shredded into pieces that are slightly over an inch long and about 1/8 inch wide, and meet P-4 security measures. One of the other features that I really like is that the paper bin is removable rather than having to remove the top of the shredder from the bin. It is a much cleaner process. We have not shredded any types of credit cards or other similar materials. Yes, we paid a little of a premium for ordering a larger, more powerful shredder. But in my opinion, if this shredder holds up like our previous shredder, it will be well worth the price. I would definitely order this shredder again. ... show more

  • Works just as well as my more expensive model
Size: 6 Sheet
I just spent hours shredding old files of my father. I used this one and another more expensive (older) shredder. Yes, they both had to have cool-down time, so I’d use one while the other was in cool down. This little guy worked just as hard as the pricey model. Handled staples and other challenges just as well too. I’d say the only drawback is the bucket is smaller, so you have to clean it out more often. You also have to pick the entire working mechanism up off the bucket to empty. It can make a big mess in a hurry. I personally had a box big enough to set it in beside me. Made the task a bit easier. I’d recommend this, yes! ... show more

  • From mailbox straight to the shredder.
Size: 24 Sheet
This thing is a beast. I appreciate having the ability to just throw my soliciting mail in it without having to open it up first. It seems like many companies are putting packers in their mailers that are there just to discourage straight to shredder practices. Plastic cards, extra thick card stocks, 20 sheets of rubbish etc. With this shredder, I don't have to deal with any of that. I don't even open mailers anymore. If I don't recognize it's intended purpose, in it goes. The shredder has safety features onboard so can't operate it without having the basket installed and the speed in which is operates is good too. I wish the chute was a little wider though but I am being selfish. 24 sheets is more than 90% of the mail I receive so if I have to tear 10% apart manually before feeding my machine. It's a sacrifice I can make. Looking forward to when Amazon releases the next higher capacity because I've had zero issues with amazon branded products. ... show more

  • Amazon Basics 6 sheet cross cutter
Size: 6 Sheet
This Amazon Basics cross cutter seems to work very well. However, it is not a cross cutter, it's a straight cutter. This is a replacement for one I got, and returned last week, because I thought maybe I received the wrong one. I called Amazon and the gentleman I spoke with said he would make sure I received a cross cutter. Of course I didn't believe him, and of course I didn't get the cross cutter. I gave it 4 stars because it isn't a cross cutter. ... show more

  • Perfect for shredding classified documents
Size: 12 Sheet
Perfect size and ability to shred dozens of classified documents. When our embassy was about to be overrun by foreign extremists, we ran out of time for the burn bags. Fortunately we had our Amazon branded shredder to save the day! Our ability to keep files secret on JFK, UFOs, Atlantis, and 9/11 was saved! Oh yes works for credit cards and utility bills as well. Thank you Amazon! 5/5 for protecting national security! If only President Trump had this at his home, he wouldn’t have been raided by the FBI! ... show more

  • Perfect for Under My Desk, Shreds Efficiently and Quietly
Size: 6 Sheet
This is the second shredder from AMZ, different model of course. This fits comfortably under my desk and operates very quietly (compared to the first one which is still running strong). A small plus is the waste bin is plastic instead of metal which may help to reduce the noise level. The shredding is perfect. I grind a few sheets at a time and don't want to try stuffing 6 sheets at once. The shredder head is light enough to remove to empty the waste bin. So far I'm happy with this little unit. ... show more

  • Reliable, Efficient, and Perfect for Home Use!
Size: 8 Sheet - Black
I’ve been using the Amazon Basics 8-Sheet Cross Cut Paper Shredder for a few weeks now, and I’m genuinely impressed. It handles everything I throw at it—junk mail, old documents, and even credit cards—with no problem at all. The cross-cut feature gives me peace of mind knowing my sensitive information is securely destroyed. It’s compact and fits neatly under my desk, yet powerful enough to handle multiple pages at once. The shredder is relatively quiet and doesn’t overheat quickly like others I’ve tried. I especially appreciate the easy-to-empty bin and the safety features, which make it user-friendly. If you're looking for an affordable, reliable shredder for your home or small office, this one is a solid choice. Definitely worth 5 stars! ... show more
