  • This thing is a beast!
Size: 10-Sheet CrossCut Color: Black
We needed a new shredder after our last one died from overuse. With the capacity to shred up to 10 pages of documents (vs 5 on out last one) this shredder chews up paper like there is no tomorrow in a lot less time than out previous. It also destroys credit cards and cd/dvd discs, which is a nice bonus. It is a cross-cut shredder, meaning material is shredding into strips which are then cut into short sections about an inch and a half long. This is not a mulch/confetti type shredder. It has three switch settings on it: Off, Auto, and Reverse, which are pretty self-explanatory. The auto is nice, as it means the shredder itself will not engage until paper is fed into it, which is a nice change from out last one which was either on or off with a reverse function. Also unlike our old shredder, which had an exposed opening into the shredder teeth, this unit has a "mail slot" like opening, meaning the paper is fed into a small opening which then goes into the cutters. I really like this feature as we have pets in our home and I don't have to worry about the shredder accidently being left on and someone getting a paw or tongue stuck in the shredder. This feature would be very good for anyone who has curious children that could accidently turn the shredder on as there is not enough space to stick fingers in. The unit itself is a good weight and it's definitely not flimsy. It's a bit awkward to carry or move around however, as the openings on the sides you see in the photo is where you can grab to remove the shredder portion from the receptacle. This is not a good place to grab to pick the whole unit; trust me.. it looked like I hosted Mardi Gras in my kitchen the first (and last) time I did that. There is a handle on the top of the unit which you can use to lift the shredder potion off too, though I prefer the two-handed lift from the sides myself. This is a good shredder at a good price (same type of unit was almost $30 more to buy it locally). I definitely recommend it for quality, price, and ease of use. ... show more

  • Aurora AS1018CD shreddar review by Frank Felty
Size: 10-Sheet CrossCut Color: Black
I purchased this about 3 weeks ago after searching many different shreddars online and in stores. I decided on this Aurora AS1018CD because it will shred 11 pages at a time, cd's, staples and credit cards. I measured the height of the unit before ordering as I never found one of this model in a store to look at. Measuring was tall enough for what I thought would be a big basket on bottom for the shredded material. Well, when I received it, just looking at the box before opening I knew right then that it wasn't very tall and had made a mistake, however, I opened it up and the main unit is about 6 to 7 inches high. That's was what fooled me on looking at the measurement in the specs. I assumed it would be like my older unit that went "south", which was only about 2" high. (Guess that's why it was light duty and didn't do credit cards, cd's, few copies..like 3 or 4 at a time). The Aurora basket is small, actually too small as I used it immediately and it does fill up fairly quick. THIS IS WHY I GAVE IT A RATING OF ONLY 4 STARS!!! Now, as I said, I used it immediately shredding many boxes of old tax files that I had never gotten rid of and believe me there was a small ton of paperwork to shred. I shredded multiple pages at a time, however, I never did put 11 pages in there, but did go as many as about 8 pages. I shredded a couple credit cards, staples (as it recommended be careful about those) much paper and let me say, this Aurora AS1018CD is a trupper! Absolutely went thru everything that I feed into it with ease. Some reviews I read talked about it being so loud. Well, I found that it was rather quite compared to the one I did have and was very pleased. Also, the instructions that came with the unit said to not put a bag liner into the basket to catch the shredded material. That bothered me as this was exactly what I wanted to do, as without a bag liner, you have to empty the basket into bags and with my old unit being like that (no bag liners)I was always making a mess on the floor and had to vacuum everytime I emptied the basket. So, I looked at this unit very carefully and thought to myself, why is this in the instructions as I don't see anything to cause a problem. So, I went and got some plastic grocery bags which were a little small to fit the basket, but with some careful stretching of the plastic they work fairly well. I put the "heavy" motor top onto the basket and it worked great. The plastic grocery bags are really way to small not going completely to the bottom of the basket. A few days later I was at Sam's Club and found some 10 gallon bags (box of 1000 for $14 and change) and when I got home I tried these and they are a perfect fit. I assume that Aurora said not to use bag liners as probably someone or many people screwed up somehow and got the bag into the motor and messed everything up. But, it works great, no problems at all. So, if you can stand to empty the basket a little more often than you want to, this shreddar with it's strong motor is nothing to worry about as I believe it will be a good shreddar for me for years to come. ... show more

  • What's important to know.
Size: 12-Sheet CrossCut Color: Gray
I use this everyday. Keep it in the garage near the mail slot. Any junk mail or documents I want to ensure is safe to toss...goes in the shredder. Works great, quiet, easy..!
