Style: 10-Sheet Micro-cut
As the title says this is a beast of a shredder. Was torn between getting this 10-sheet, micro-cut version or the 15-sheet, cross-cut version, the AU1562XA. Both units share the same body, and I'm probably the same motor as they both boast 60 minute continuous run time. While those 5 extra sheets per feed would definitely make big shred jobs go quicker, I felt that it was harder to find good, heavy-duty micro-cut shredders that could handle 10 sheets, AND had a P-5 security level. Not to mention it was cheaper while on sale. Meanwhile, 14-16 sheet P-4 crosscut shredders are much easier to find, although this line of Aurora's seems to be quite robust with extremely long run times, which most competitors lack. I don't regret my decision one bit. Some reviewers said that this model was slow, but it truthfully, it absolutely rips through stacks of paper. Aurora's documentation on their shredders seems to be full of errors, but if their websites are to be believed, the AU1060MA's motor has a feed speed of 5.9 feet per minute. The AU1562XA either has the exact same feed speed, or it's only a bit faster at 6.6 feet per minute (Aurora's main website and their store seem to contradict each other on this). I'm inclined to believe that the 15 sheet _is_ faster since it's cross-cut, but if it's only 0.7 ft. per minute faster, that's really not that much. Yeah, sure, if you're shredding thousands of pages, the 15 sheet will burn through them much faster since those extra 5 pages add up, but just in terms of raw feed speed, this thing is no slouch. I'm a pretty impatient person, and I'm quite surprised at how quickly this thing is ready to accept another bunch of papers. It shreds quite seamlessly. What's nice is that they've rated these shredders very accurately. This one has no problem shredding right up to the 10-sheet limit, unlike my old 8-sheet Fellowes, which would grind to a halt if you dared feed more than 4 pages into it. I'm pretty confident that their rating is more conservative than it needs to be, but 10 sheets is plenty and I'd rather not risk damaging the motor. There's no significant slowdown as far as I can tell from doing all 10 pages. You can hear the motor strain a bit more, but it still happily chews them up. The P-5 shred size is nice, although probably overkill for most consumers. Cross-cut does a pretty decent job already, but this is just insanely small. It literally turns paper into confetti. I think if you were into vermiculture or composting, this would be a great use for the smaller shred size (yes, it can handle thin cardboard, but don't try to put corrugated cardboard in it.) One practical benefit of the smaller shred size is that it compacts much better than cross-cut, meaning less time spent emptying the bin. Speaking of the bin, this might be the weak point of the shredder. They've added some nice features to it, such as small wheels on its underside, which make removal quite easy even when full. That said, I think the bin itself could have used thicker plastic. It flexes a bit when you're holding it, so I'd be careful when moving it around to empty it. Also, while removal is smooth, it doesn't really snap back into the unit as smoothly as I might like. You kind of have to wiggle it around until it locks back in place. Time will tell for how well it holds up. My only other complaint is that the throat size, while perfectly sufficient for most papers, could be a bit wider. I've found myself shredding some pages that were just a bit wider than the throat would easily accept, either because those pages were some strange size, or they just didn't want to compress with the rest of the stack. They'll go in, and don't cause any issues, but it is a minor annoyance to have to shove them in. That said, your standard US letter or A4 paper will have no problem being fed into the machine. Form factor wise, it's a bit big, but the footprint isn't that much larger than a waste basket. It is kind of tall though. It'll fit under a desk just fine, but in tighter spots you might not have the clearance. You could probably remove the casters, if you needed to save an inch in height. Can't really think of what else to say about this thing. If you do a moderate amount of shredding, this thing is worth it. I wouldn't get it if you only shred junk mail (cheaper, smaller units would do the job), nor would I get it if you have to shred 1,000s of papers day in and day out (something with an automatic document feeder or larger capacity would be better). But it's more than capable of doing the occasional banker's box (or boxes) worth of documents.

I very rarely write a review. As long as a product works, I figure it's doing what it should do. But I love this shredder. I've had it about a week and am more than satisfied with my purchase. This is the third shredder I've owned (the other 2 were Fellowes bought at a box store) and it out performs the others by miles. It's sturdily built - even the collection basket; it shreds evenly and quickly; it's pretty quiet; and it's only jammed once (my fault for putting too much in) and was easily un-jammed using the reverse button. The size is good for a home office, and its white color makes it more aesthetically pleasing. I'm using it pretty heavily right now and do wish it would take more than 10 sheets at a time, but once I get through my backlog it will be more than enough for regular home use.

This Aurora shredder is truly exceptional. After extensive research, I chose this model for its ability to shred documents into the finest pieces for an at-home model of this size and price range. With decades of paperwork to dispose of, this powerhouse tackled everything effortlessly — never overheating, never jamming. It is quieter than my previous shredder, has a large capacity bin, and easily wheels around when needed. Although it's able to shred 10 sheets at a time, I choose to shred a maximum of 5 sheets at a time to potentially extend its lifespan. To keep it running smoothly, I periodically feed in a shredder oil sheet. I was so impressed with this shredder that I bought another one as a gift for my mom, who needed to securely dispose of years of confidential documents for a family member. Every time we talk, she raves about how much she loves it!

This shredder is the best I've ever used. 60 minute runtime! no slowing down to let it cool off. 10 sheets at once. This thing is built well. Home and light office use it should last a long time. You can tell it's got a larger than usual motor by the weight. It hasn't jammed a single time. Easy to empty the bin, just watch you don't overfill it. Well worth the cost.

Relatively quiet on low setting, but even on high it is still not horribly noisy. Sleek and modern design. I can notice a significant improvement on air quality in my room, specifically after the wild fires up north made air quality very poor.

So far does a good job reducing documents into micro-bits. Wheels make it easy to move around. Easy to operate and discard chopped paper when container is full. So far, it’s a good value.$

Early paper shredders cut sheets into strips that a bright nine-year-old could paste back together; eventually they got more sophisticated until "cross-cut" was the norm, but those still leave pieces of paper that may or may not have strings of numbers or whatever that you'd rather not have sitting in a dumpster somewhere. This one basically grinds the paper into what looks like the tiny blobs that are left over at the bottom of the bowl of popcorn next to the old maids. There is absolutely no way any information can be gotten from that mulch, so this is the current state-of-the-art in shredders. It's very quiet, it doesn't get noticeably hot, and the tub of scraps pulls out from the front, so there's no lifting the whole massive head of the thing just to empty it. So a great design in that respect too. I've read reviews where the LEDs used to auto-detect a sheet being put into the slot can burn out, so unplugging the unit after every use is a good idea - otherwise that LED is always on and its lifespan is going to be shortened. No problems so far. 'Happy with this thing and wish I'd have gotten one years ago.

*update 4/2024* This shredder is a workhorse. I received it in January of 2022 and over 2 years later with some really heavy usage and over filling the cutter, it is still working well. I use it to cut up paper, clip board boxes and even cardboard. I have gotten it stuck a few times - usually with cardboard & it typically is easy to clear and it returns to work. When I cut up cardboard, I usually do many boxes at once where I break down the boxes and tear them into strips about the width of a piece of paper. This shredder will handle 30 minutes or more before the overheat protection kicks in. It has never overheated with paper. I really like the slide out bin. I would not consider going to a shredder with a lift off top after using a slide out bin - it is so much easier to empty and it makes little to no mess compared to the lift off top which drops paper cuttings on the floor every time. I highly recommend this shredder - it's the best I've owned. *initial review early 2022* This shredder cuts paper into smaller cuts than the most common shredders on the market. I believe there is only one size of smaller cuts that shredders make. And there are very few products that make that smaller cut and you'll pay many times more than this one costs for that sort of machine. For most, this smaller size cut is overkill, but I use my paper cuts for composting (worm and typical) and smaller means faster composting usually. I'm happy with the performance. It has the pull out bin which is way nicer than the type that needs to sit the cutting unit down on top of the bin. This make lots less mess.
