  • GOOD STURDY SHREDDER!
Style: AU1230XA Anti-Jam 12-Sheet CrossCut Pattern Name: Shredder + Shredder Oil
This is a good shredder that is relatively quiet and works well. I recycle some of the paper as basket filler for gift baskets. I put it in the bottom of the basket and cover it with decorative paper grass. Works like a charm. It cuts the paper in strips that are about 1” long by maybe 1/4th inch wide. I was hoping for a long strip cutter, but I don’t thank they make those anymore. This is a good value for the money, and so far, we’ve had no issues with it. ... show more

  • great product
Style: 8-Sheet Crosscut Pattern Name: Shredder
This is a powerful machine. I read the reviews and they are correct in that you can put in about 6 sheets of paper. I wouldn't try more than that, as I tried and it got stuck. It took some work to remove the paper using the reverse and pulling shreds out of the blades. I shredded a credit card with ease. Overall, it does the job. ... show more

  • Works well. Pretty fast.
Style: 8-Sheet Crosscut Pattern Name: Shredder
June 2021. - 1 month review. After using this shredder on and off during the past 5 weeks or so, I can say that it has worked very well. And is faster than the previous shredder it replaced. I didn't keep count of how many sheets of paper I shredded in this time. But it filled up about 5 kitchen garbage bags (16 Gal). Possibly 1000 - 2000 sheets or so. For the most part I shredded them 4 at a time. It is rated for 8, but to keep the shredder moving faster and probably to allow the motor to last longer I did it at half capacity. Staples are no problem. It is still a noisy machine. It would be nice if manufacturers could reduce the noise factor. The bucket is kind of small in my opinion. It fills up after about 50 sheets shredded or so, without starting to push down on the paper that is inside already. Emptying out the bucket so often is a bit inconvenient, but I guess it gives the machine time to rest, before you continue the shredding session. It will shred continuously longer than the description says. May 8 to 10 minutes of shredding. Then the overheat sensor kicks in and stops the machine. I let it rest for the 30 mins it recommends. And has always worked again for another session. I found that the ideal shredding position for this particular machine is to have it on a desk, as you sit at it and shred at that angle. The papers go in much better at that angle then when the shredder is on the floor and you lean down to shred, due to the design of the entry point for the papers. In any case, it's more comfortable to shred in front of you than leaning down, for me. The auto feed sensor is only in the center of the paper feeder. So for small pieces of paper, you always have to feed them through the center. This is my 3rd or 4th shredder. One thing I have learned about these machines is that they do have a limited lifespan. Eventually they all slow down, wear and tear and then die. On average they tend to last me about 5 - 7 yrs or so, probably. And I don't use them every day. I tend to wait for a full trash bin to be full of shred ready papers, then I do a session. The last shredder I had I did grease it as it slowed down. That helped a bit. But do not spray grease them from the top as they are sitting in their bucket! the fumes accumulate inside the bucket, and they will explode once you start shredding! Instead grease them from underneath, outside of the bucket. let the fumes dissipate. On some reviews of other shredders people say they might turn on by themselves if left plugged in to AC outlet. By habit I always unplug the machine when not in use. I think this is a safe measure, just in case. And it also prevents 'vampire' electricity drainage, as many electronics suck electricity even when they are 'off'. ... show more

  • Outstanding value & reliable!
Style: 8-Sheet Crosscut Pattern Name: Shredder
We've been using this Aurora Shredder (8-Sheet Cross-Cut) for over a year in our home office. We bought it when our previous shredder, bought at Staples, began to disintegrate (internal plastic parts were falling off). Aurora internals appear to be ALL METAL and, after more than a year, the Aurora is working smoothly and still works as good as when it was brand new. There have been no problems. Once in a while we do lubricate the gears by smearing a little canola oil on a blank paper and feeding it though. Our one small gripe is that if the basket were larger, it wouldn't need to be emptied quite as often. But for the money, this Aurora Shredder has proven to be a great value! We are happy satisfied users. ... show more

  • Works Awesome
Style: 8-Sheet Crosscut Pattern Name: Shredder
I had an old shredder that would overheat EVERY time I used it and was so loud that no one in the house wanted to use it. It finally quit on me so I ordered this one and it's decently quiet (way quieter than my old one) and I can trust anyone to use it. It also doest overheat on me which was the first thing I noticed!! ... show more

  • It’s works.
Style: 8-Sheet Crosscut Pattern Name: Shredder
I bought this in 6 months ago and have only used a handful of times. Went to use it today and it would not turn on when I plugged it in. Thanks to the helpful Amazon support video- if you’re like me and can’t figure out why it’s not working- there is a small safety sensor on the bottom and if the shredder is not sitting the correct way it won’t turn on. Now that I know this, I love it and it works great! ... show more
