  • Best shredder I’ve ever had
Model: AU1210MA
This is an AWESOME shredder. It is very quiet, makes very small shreds and it really shreds CD/DVD discs. Every other shredder just cuts them into a few pieces, but this one absolutely shreds them into pixie dust! Works extremely well, doesn’t jam and has a nice catch bin. Absolutely worth the price. ... show more

  • So far so good, nice shredder not too noisy shreds really well.
Model: AU1210MA
Only had it a few hours. Having saved lots of personal info I didn't want to trash without shredding since my old machine died. I've gone thru enough for two bins. So far so good. I haven't tried more than 10 sheets. It slows a bit on 8 or more, but works. I'll likely keep my feeds to 6 sheets just to make it easy. Ran it practically non-stop for 30 minutes twice and no issues. Does a real nice job cross-cut shredding. Seems to match its P4 claims on shredding sizes. Shredding unit itself is quite heavy. It rolls easily on the wheels it comes with though they are on the small side. After the first bin I oiled it and it seemed quieter. Maybe it needs oiling a bit when you first get it. It is fairly quiet in any case when running. Cord is nice and long. I do think the lower part of the unit and paper bin are on the flimsy side. All a snapped together affair and the bin has some grooves/wheels to guide it in and out, but I wonder how well it will lock in place with more use. And you'll want to handle it with care as it flexes just taking it in and out and handling to empty the paper. Seem like for the price this plastic part could have been a millimeter thicker and more robust. I haven't tried credit cards or CDs. I'll keep staples and paper clips out of it. Why abuse your machine? I usually use some small bolt cutters on credit cards. Easy to snip into pieces. I'll just shred paper I think. Pretty happy, it is more powerful and shreds much smaller than my old cheap machine from Office Depot. ... show more

  • Excellent shredder!
Model: AU1210MA
This Aurora shredder is very well designed. The micro-cut style provides great security, and the motor is very quiet. The basket is large and very easy to empty making shredding papers less unpleasant. One of the best features is that it is on wheels, so it is easy to roll out of the way into the closet when not in use. Hopefully, I won't let the pile of papers to be shred build up so much. I can't yet speak to its durability, but I'm optimistic about it. I highly recommend. ... show more

  • Very quiet.
Model: AU1210MA
A really great shredder. Very quiet when schredding. Easily handles 8 sheets at a time. It is well made, and should work for years without any trouble. Definitely worth the selling price. I am very pleased. Recommended.

  • Highly recommended-powerful, reliable and efficient shredder!
Model: AU1210MA
The media could not be loaded. I don’t usually write reviews unless a product truly stands out-and this paper shredder definitely does! I’ve been working through piles of junk mail, old bills, and other documents for hours over the past few days, and this machine has handled it all like a champ! What really impresses me is its durability and performance. Unlike my old shredder, which would overheat and force me to stop every 10 to 15 minutes, this one hasn’t overheated once. It just keeps going! So far, I’ve filled four large trash bags with shredded paper and it’s still running smoothly. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because, although it claims to handle up to 12 sheets at once, the machine seems to struggle and slow down when I try that. In my experience, it works best with 5 to 7 pages at a time for smooth and efficient shredding. ... show more

  • Excellent Disk Medium Shredder
Model: AU1210MA
Didn't see a P-4 review on here for the "other" things it can shred. You are looking at a combination of CD/DVD/CD-R/DVD-R +R DL. 250 disks @ about 25 minutes. Disks do have to be fed one by one. Minimal jamming but it self corrects itself and usually only did so on CD-R's and Retail CD's. It rips through dvd medium. Considering this is almost exactly half way full. I'm going to say It can handle 500 disks before needing to be emptied which is good. I have 250 more disks to go that i'm backing up to my NAS as i'm 50 yrs old and have disks from 1996 that are getting "disk rot" and need to be backed up before they cease to read period. ... show more

  • It's quiet and shreds - Exactly what you want!
Model: AU1210MA
So far, an awesome shredder. It's quiet, ate up everything I fed in and the basket is super easy to empty. No mess, you can wheel it around and I am super happy. There are a lot of options out there and I think I did good choosing this shredder. It's head and shoulders above the $50 shredder I had before. ... show more

  • I'm Impressed!!!
Model: AU1210MA
Great home paper shredder! I found myself inundated with files of paper containing sensitive data after becoming the executor of the estates of three family members in a row, one of whom held onto every tax filing and medical record for the past 40 years. After looking at the pros and cons of multiple shredders I settled on this one, and am astounded at how efficiently and quietly it shreds. While it is rated for up to 12 sheets at a time, I choose to max it at half that for the most part. Yes, it can do 12, but you can hear the change in how it sounds - it's obviously working harder, so I prefer not to risk overloading it or having it overheat, and just keep continuously feeding smaller batches. Its pretty sturdy, although I wish the pullout receptacle basket were thicker plastic and didn't have as much flex to it as it does. The shredded pieces are about 3/8" x 1/8" which I like. I've had no issues with it jamming and it chops up staples with ease so you don't have to worry about removing them. Very pleased with this purchase. ... show more
