  • Gets the job done great!
Style: 8-Sheet MicroCut
Overall extremely satisfied with this shredder. It says 8-sheet but I found its most efficient putting 3-4 sheets in at a time because for 5+ sheets it shreds slowly. Since the blades continuously rotate once you've put in paper, you can keep inserting 3-4 sheet packets back-to-back. It takes a LONG while before the shredder overheats so you can get a lot of bulk shredding done in one sitting (I had years of papers to shred, so this feature was a real time-saver). It really does take around 30-40 minutes before its cooled down and you can continue shredding. When it does overheat, whatever paper was going through will just stop where it is in the feeder until the machine cools and it will allow you to continue shredding. Because of the safety features you have to use the bucket they provide and it fills decently slowly, so you're not constantly emptying the bucket. You cant let the bucket fill too much unless the blades just keep rotating already cut pieces of paper around in circles. The little window on the front of the bucket really helps and makes that process easier. The shredder is quite loud. If you want to talk to someone while shredding you'll have to speak louder than normal conversational tones. And the shredder can be heard from a couple rooms away. The head of the shredder is quite heavy so be prepared for the weight when you lift it to empty the bucket. The blades are exposed on the bottom once you've lifted it off so you have to be careful not to touch them on accident. This shredder is amazing for the price and really gets the job done well and I havent had a single issue with yet. Would definitely buy it again! ... show more

  • Papers go in well without getting caught!
Style: 8-Sheet MicroCut
Sturdy and effective at shredding paper and credit cards. I wouldn't use it when someone is sleeping due to noise.

  • Perfect For Home Office - Light Duty
Style: 8-Sheet MicroCut
My wife and I needed to shred our personal confidential documents and other confidential documents we generate occasionally through our work. We had a paper shopping bag full of documents that had built up. This little shredder ate up all those documents in about 15 minutes and easily shredded 5-7 pages at a time. I used the convenient "auto" setting which starts the shredder running when pages are inserted. No jams or overheating so far. The only downside to this shredder is the small basket. It was full after the shredding job mentioned above. If I was regularly shredding hundreds of pages at a time, I would pick a shredder with a larger basket so I didn't have to empty it as often, but since we only need to shred 10 pages or so at a time, this is perfect for us. (The basket also has a small window which makes it very easy to see when its filling up). The small basket also means the shredder is top-heavy and a bit precarious. It will stand up on its own fine, but if we had kids or a large dog I would worry they might knock it over. Bottom line: If you're willing to spend a little extra time feeding documents to save a little green this is probably the perfect shredder for you. Maintenance: the manual says you can use plain old vegetable oil to lubricate the shredder each month, so no need to buy special shredder oil. I haven't tried this yet. Tip for shredder novices: The microcut leaves a lot of dust in the basket (I did not notice dust outside of the shredder). I try to wait for the dust settle in the basket and then wear a mask when I empty the basket to avoid inhaling any paper dust. PROS Shreds well Micro-cut seems impossible to reconstruct Great price Can maintain with household veggie oil CONS Small Basket Top-heavy and a little precarious ... show more

  • A great shredder with a very poor base container
Style: 8-Sheet MicroCut
I bought this to replace a very reliable strip shredder that has done a good job for years. Faced with deleting 6 years of personal financial records I needed something that could do as good a job for more than 3 pages at a time without frequently overheating or jamming. The basic shredding machine part works well. The top handle which is easy to miss if you don't read the manual is strong enough to support the heavy machine, and comfortable enough to lift it one handed. If you don't overfill it, and you run the machine in reverse for 15 seconds, it lifts off with no residue on its underside. It has an automatic paper sense and a container safety switch that prevents it from working if not tightly fitted to its catch bin. It will shred approximately 200 letter size pages between emptying, and has no difficulty with standard office staple or credit cards with chips. It can shred 8 sheets of fresh 20# copy paper, although its motor ran louder as I increased the number from 3 to 8. I found that it has a harder time with older records. I had to limit those to 5-6 sheets at a time. I was able to shred batches of 100 sheets with natural breaks of 2-3 seconds without it overheating in an 85F non-airconditioned room. This shredder does that, but it has what I consider a very annoying flaw. With little or no encouragement, it falls over where my previous shredder didn't. WHEN it falls over, home vacuum cleaner has a hard time collecting the micro-shreds and paper dust it creates. I tried bracing the back against the wall, which helped until the torque of the motor made the narrow base creep toward the wall and it tipped over -twice. The second time the machine detached from the base and spilled shreds and dust across the floor. When I tried vacuuming it some of the paper dust was lifted into the air by the brushes and scattered wider by the exhaust. I like the shredder enough that I'm going to fasten it against a wall or table leg with a tether strap like B008RIUTX0 or B09MZDK9Y2. I suggest that if you get the same design unit that you do the same. ... show more
