Style: 16-sheet CrossCut/CD/30-min
OVERVIEW This is my second Aurora. I broke the last one when I tried to clean the blades. =( The first Aurora I bought about 10+ years ago. I was so impressed with its quality that Aurora was the first name I looked for in shredders. The first one was $90 and did microcut. This one was specially priced for $109. I compared it against the Bonsai $70 shredder, an Aurora $90 shredder, a Boxis $120 shredder. I decided this one with all of its features would be a nice upgrade; I have to say, I am glad I spent the extra $20-$40 because this thing is one excellent shredder. THINGS TO LOOK OUT FOR: 1) My only real cause of warning is be careful if you ever try to clean the blades. My last Aurora and this one has wires and electronics within view of the blades meaning if you plan to jam something up in the sides to clean out stuck paper, you might want to leave it alone. That is how I broke my first Aurora and this one has the same exposed wiring as my last one. I feel like Aurora needs to put better guards over the electronics and I believe this is the only shortcoming I know of and cause of warning to anyone buying Aurora paper shredders. CAREFUL CLEANING PAPER OUT FROM AROUND THE BLADES!!!!! LEARN FROM MY MISTAKE!!!! 2) Basically of no importance in my opinion but this is a crosscut not a microshred shredder. It cuts bits about 1" L x 1/8" W. I don't believe anyone would ever try to piece together or be successful at piecing together from probably hundred of thousands of pieces - but I am sure there is that one person out there who could and did somewhere on the planet which became the reason for microshred, or perhaps it came out for the most paranoid of us? I see no reason to be concerned that you need a microshred; I believe this things shreds are plenty shredded up fine enough. 3) Definitely get a 5 gallon pull out basket. Get bigger if you can. 5 Gallons isn't as much as I thought it would be and the bin seems a bit short. It doesn't take long to fill it up. This may negate one of my benefits of the 30 minute run time because it won't take 30 minutes to fill up the bin. I wouldn't want to go much smaller. Expect to carry the bin out to your recycle outside because dumping indoors expect to clean a mess - paper goes everywhere. 4) If I were to nitpick, I wish the opening was wider. I cannot fit the longest envelopes in long ways - I have to turn them sideways. Also, sometimes it seems to have trouble getting the motor to switch on automatically - like you have to shove the paper way down in the mouth to get it to turn on. It's more noticeable with single ripped, floppy pages and crinkled receipts. Neither are deal-breakers just small gripes I could see people having. BENEFITS OF THIS SHREDDER OVER MY LAST AURORA SHREDDER THAT COSTED $90 OVER 10 YEARS AGO: 1) I am happy to see the price of shredders has not significantly increased over the period of time. 2) This shredder is so quiet. I can hear the TV or talk with this running. The last shredder was crazy loud. You could hardly do anything else while running it. 3) When you get into a rhythm of shredding this thing can run continuously for 30 minutes. My last and the cheaper one can only do 5 minutes of continuous run time. When more than one person is trying to clean a pile of junk mail it is easy to run a shredder for 10-15 minutes almost continuously. I believe it is worth the slight cost incurred to get the longer running professional motor. 4) I like the 16-page capacity. My old Aurora, I am guessing was probably a 10-page, would get itself stuck mid-shred, this thing has yet to get stuck mid-shred. I have put 2 unopened envelopes through at a time and I hear the motor struggle a little bit but it hasn't quit on me. 5) I have not had it jam. It claims it is jam-proof but also says it is jam-proof reverse. Reverse sometimes didn't want to clean jams on my old Aurora but I was always able to pull hard enough with the unit to clean jams but it got me worried a few times. I have put enough paper through this unit to jam the old one, but one needs to use reason and patience to try not to do anything to jam the unit. Jams are scary: this unit has not yet jammed: seems the unit will be tough to jam: but use your sense and don't overload it. It will shred a lot but I don't recommend thinking it won't jam and if it does, since it takes a higher capacity, may be even harder to unjam than my old system. Just thinking ahead.

Goes through junk mail like butter, those bulky credit card things you get in the mail, you don’t even have to open them, just insert into the slot and it chews them into tiny pieces. CDs, plastic cards, and staples...gone.

I love purchasing from Amazon. I hate all the boxes that accumulate faster than my trash service will allow me to throw them away. I purchased this shredder and now I break down my cardboard from Amazon and anyone else and then shred it and I compost it. This will shred most all cardboard you get at home except for the extremely thick cardboard that uses the giant industrial staples to hold it together.

I had an old Fellowes shredder that finally bit the dust. Granted it was only 3 years old but I put things in there I probably shouldn't have so longevity was no fault of Fellowes. This new Aurora shredder decimates anything I put in it. Its advertised a shredding DVD's and CD's but one at a time. Well, me being me I like to push the limits of mechanical ability of things I buy. Sometimes they live, sometime not. So I put 2 CD's in the slot and the shredder struggled but it did destroy them. Next I tried 3. It made it half way before the shredder stopped and reversed itself. Not bad I might say! As far as paper products go, anything I put in the slot it has no problem shredding. I get these very thick junk mail packets every couple weeks with random coupons and I'd say they're easily 3/16 to a 1/4inch think and the shredder tears right through it like it wasn't even there. If you're looking for a good shredder this one should be your go-to. Just make sure to buy a bottle of shredder oil to keep the blades sharp and you shouldn't have any issues for a very long time.

We love this shredder. It seemed expensive at the time, but we sleep better knowing we are taking measures to protect our identity by shredding paperwork and bills. Works great! Would buy again. We haven’t had any troubles

We bought this specifically to shred cardboard for worm composting & it works great! It saves so much time shredding/cutting paper & cardboard for the worms.

I love this shredder. There's no shredder that can handle the "max pages" in it at a quick pace or for long periods of time. Not gonna happen. So, ignore the folks saying it dogged down - stop over working it. (unless you got a lemon, then complain all you want.) SO... I have no complaints - it's handled everything I've thrown at it. It's tall - which I like - and holds quite a bit more shreds that my last one that was well... short. Worth every penny. I got it, unboxed it, plugged it in and proceeded to shred a years worth of mail basically. Took about 30-45 mins (because of my slow speed, not the shredder) and filled an entire 13 gallon trash bag. Cool. Would recommend.
