    • Works great!

This shredder works fantastic! It has a large container to collect the shredded paper, and a special spot to shred credit cards. The cross hatch shredder cuts the paper into pretty small pieces, which I really like. It’s a nice shredder for a good price!

    • Quality shredder
Size: 8 Sheet
Works well, affordable, and will shut itself down if it starts to overheat to save the motor. It will not run off of the can it came with, there is a safety switch, as well as a lock to prevent any accidental use. It shreds nice, although the can is small and needs to be emptied often if doing a larger shred project. Average noise, good quality, has held up nicely so far - better than some of the name brands I have gone through. ... show more

    • Reliable Shredding Performance with Amazon Basics 12-Sheet Cross-Cut Shredder
Size: 12 Sheet
I recently purchased the Amazon Basics 12-Sheet Cross-Cut Paper and Credit Card Shredder for my home office, and it has proven to be a dependable addition to my document disposal routine. Here's my experience and why I've given it a four-star rating: Efficient Shredding Capacity: The shredder's ability to handle up to 12 sheets at a time is commendable, making it suitable for moderate shredding tasks in a home office setting. It smoothly shreds paper, credit cards, and even staples, saving me the hassle of removing them before shredding. Cross-Cut Security: The cross-cut shredding mechanism adds an extra layer of security compared to standard strip-cut shredders. It effectively turns sensitive documents into confetti, providing peace of mind when disposing of personal or confidential information. Compact Design: The Amazon Basics shredder boasts a compact design that doesn't take up much space in my home office. The integrated handle on the top makes it easy to move around when needed. It fits neatly under my desk, allowing for convenient access without compromising on office aesthetics. Relatively Quiet Operation: The shredder operates at a reasonable noise level, which is appreciated, especially in a home environment. While it's not completely silent, the noise level is not overly disruptive, allowing me to shred documents without causing a disturbance. Easy to Empty Bin: The bin is easy to access and empty. The transparent window on the front provides a clear view of the shredding capacity, allowing me to know when it's time to empty the bin. The pull-out design simplifies the process of removing and replacing the bin. Automatic Start and Stop: The shredder features convenient automatic start and stop functionality. It begins shredding when paper is inserted and stops when the job is complete, contributing to a smoother and more user-friendly experience. Affordable Price Point: Considering the shredder's capacity and cross-cut capabilities, the Amazon Basics 12-Sheet Cross-Cut Shredder offers good value for its price. It provides a solid balance between performance and affordability. Minor Jams on Occasion: While the shredder generally performs well, I have experienced occasional paper jams, especially when pushing the sheet limit. While these jams are easy to clear with the provided reverse function, it's worth noting for those planning to shred near the maximum sheet capacity. Conclusion: The Amazon Basics 12-Sheet Cross-Cut Shredder is a reliable and reasonably priced solution for home office document disposal needs. Its efficient shredding capacity, cross-cut security, and user-friendly features make it a solid choice for those seeking an affordable and compact shredder. ... show more

    • Works well, fast and no more paper jams!
Size: 12 Sheet (New Model)
This is a very nice shredder. I opted for a higher sheet capacity and paid about $20 more but totally worth it for how smoothly and quickly this machine operates. So quiet and the small pieces self compress so there’s no wasted space in the trash bag. Also love that it has a swing up handle. Very pleased! ... show more

    • Great for the money! But no credit cards~
Size: 8 Sheet
I have had this shredder for a year now. It has been great and I had no complaints until last week. DO NOT put your credit card where it says to. It jammed it up and just stopped completely. I was able to fix it after letting it sit for awhile and it works wonderful for paper again. But I will never make the mistake of putting a credit card in there again. Dogs hate it, it is noisy. ... show more

    • Doesn't shred all credit cards
Size: 12 Sheet
This review is actually for the 8 sheet shredder. It is showing 12, because I ordered a 12 before, but was sent the wrong one, and then got an 8, but still showing up as 12. Got this to replace another affordable paper shredder we had purchased at one of the office supply stores. It essentially broke itself into pieces. This is orders of magnitude better built. We decided to clean up several years of old papers and documents and the old one we had just wasn't up to the task. This one has gone through reams of papers without skipping a beat. Really love the crosscut too where the pieces are cut in both directions. One thing it didn't do though was shred our credit cards. We tried to shred one and it got maybe a quarter to a half inch in and stopped. Had a heck of time getting it back out too. Upon closer inspection, the inside/center of the card was solid metal. So, I don't really blame the shredder. While it may have possibly shredded the credit cards of old, these new chip cards may be something else entirely. That is my best guess as to why the center of the card was metal. I wouldn't recommend shredding just any old card in it. ... show more

    • Does the job
Size: 6 Sheet
You have to figure out how many pages you can put in at one time. I jammed it putting too many. Once you get that down it works great. The credit card slot works good as well. The container fills up quick but I need a smaller one for my space. Nice unit. Should have bought one years ago.
