    • Shreds through everything
Size: 8 Sheet
Review Image by Darin G. Darin G.
I was looking for a new shredder to take care of confidential material. This shredder does not disappoint in the slightest. From paper to credit cards and everything else I throw at it and takes it and shreds it up. Extremely durable, strong performance, noise is manageable. Very easy to clean when the bin gets full. The shredder is versatile, and the size is perfect for my home office. ... show more

    • Quiet & Effective!
Size: 12 Sheet
Just got this shredder and already so happy with it! It's remarkably quiet compared to the one that recently broke. I would say my old one was probably 10 years old, so it's nice to see that they are making them much more ear friendly. So far, it has easily shred everything I've given it. Very glad that I went with a lower mid-range model, rather than the basic one. ... show more

    • Great, inexpensive shredder
Size: 8 Sheet
Purchased for my home. Did not need fancy or large one, and this one is perfect. The ONLY negative I have to say about it (if you even want to call it a negative) is that you can only put 3-4 sheets of paper in it at once otherwise it jams. I guess I am used to the larger, commercial shredders at work, haha! It is a little noisy (I wasn't expecting it to be so loud) but the shredding power is fantastic. I've shredded quite a few things and I haven't had to empty it once so it seems to hold quite a bit. I would definitely purchase again. ... show more

    • 5 Years Old Going Strong
Size: 12 Sheet
I bought this cheap shredder five years ago — in 2019. After the umpteenth pile of financial documents I pushed through her teeth this afternoon, I marveled at how reliable this little unit is. It just keeps on shredding without any mishaps or choking on the stuff I feed it. It will cut through staples without complaint. I have not tried paper clips or heavier duty fasteners. I think that is asking too much if this cheap machine. It shreds credit cards, but slows down considerably when eating them. This is not NSA-level shredding but I think it is adequate for routine family financial and medical information. I do, however, need a set of needle-nosed pliers when I empty it because wads of paper get wedged into the corners. I pushed it way beyond’s its intended light use when we moved two years ago. I had decades of old records that I no longer had a reason to keep and did not want to pay to move. I am talking about a large attic full of records that I shredded in long sessions over a couple of weeks. I fully expected this little thing would give up the ghost and give me a reason to buy a new, more robust unit. But it swallowed all of the papers without a problem or complaint. I am a retired lawyer and I tend to keep more papers than most but when I ultimately dump them, I am very conscious of shredding anything with information someone could use that could harm me. My wife thinks it’s silly, but I also peel prescription information from medicine bottles and shred them too. Trash haulers (for whom I have a lot of respect) sometimes spill stuff in getting our refuse in its truck, especially when overstuffed bags break. I have found on the street neighbors’ paystubs, tax forms, and yes, even prescription medicine bottles. I have to have my unit dumped every other week during “light” periods. Today, in clearing out two years of documents, I had to empty it twice. I can only relate my experience but I am impressed with how much this cheap little thing has shredded for me and how reliable it’s been. ... show more

    • So useful.. I gifted one
Size: 8 Sheet
This is the second time I’ve purchased this shredder. The first one of this model I bought for myself and have been using it for quite a while now. I’ve had no problems with mine and found it very helpful to have so, I thought it would make a useful gift. It’s sturdy , strong, runs well and it appears well-made. I think it’s a great item all around and the price is extremely fair. ... show more

    • What an awesome paper destroying machine!!!!
Size: 12 Sheet
I love this shredder! It does exactly what I bought it for. It is quick and easy to use. Clean up is a little messy but that is not the shredders fault. I would recommend this to anyone.
