    • It's light, easy to move and shreds great!
Style: 12-Sheet Crosscut Pattern Name: Shredder
The shredder arrived well packaged and intact. Set-up was extremely easy and the product manual was well written and to the point. I had this shredder working less than 3 minutes after unboxing it. It is also fairly light and is easy to move around...I do wish the wastebasket had slightly larger grips though. It is fairly quiet and it easily shredded up to 6 sheets of typing paper at one time. I really like the "auto" setting...the printer remains off until you insert paper, then it does its thing and immediately shuts off..so to not go over its 3 minutes of constant run time I'd suggest to you to use this mode. I visited Aurora's website in order to register the product, but could not find an area to do that so another suggestion is to simply print out your Amazon receipt, place it in an envelope and tape it to the back of the shredder's wastebasket in case you ever need it. A standard one year warranty covers the electrical components but the cutting blades are warranted up to 5 years....so keep that receipt. One more tip.....read the manual and note what items you should NOT put into this shredder. Basically it's common sense but read over the items anyway so you do not damage your new shredder. I give this Aurora shredder a full FIVE STAR rating, and I would definitely purchase another one and would certainly recommend it to friends and relatives. For the price you pay you receive a very nice product that if taken care of, should last the average homeowner years and years. ... show more

Great product! Quite, shreds whole envelope with folded contents…after all who even wants to open it anyway? I’d absolutely purchase again.

    • So far so good
Style: 8-Sheet Crosscut Pattern Name: Shredder
This shredder was purchased to replace one of the same brand and basic style that was 10+ years old. Old one was fantastic, and was still running (plastic encasing blade failed, not the shredder motor or blades). In catching up my back log of shredding I've filled the bin 1.5 times already and have a good feel for it compared to the old one. Pros: Seems a bit quieter (not that I expect a shredder to be quiet). Shreds efficiently, and runs through more pages at a time than the old one. Cons: The old shredder had a flap over the input that you could open in case of a jam and access - which I had to do on more than one occasion. I'm sure it's due to safety, but if I can't unjam it at some point because of this, I will be very unhappy with this purchase. Second, the old one had a wider access for paper, meaning I could run very quickly run through my shred stack. This one is VERY narrow and takes precise aim to get the paper accepted, which makes this shredder less efficient than the old one despite taking more pages at a time, due to being slower about receiving the pages. Would I buy it again? In general this one seems to be pretty good, and I would buy it again if there wasn't a better option available. However, if I found another one like my old one, no I wouldn't buy this one again. Or if I discover this one doesn't have the longevity of my old one, no I wouldn't buy this one again. The old one was just superior, but this is a good second place. ... show more

    • The Shredder That Shreds Expectations: Aurora 12-Sheet Crosscut Marve
Style: 12-Sheet Crosscut Pattern Name: Shredder
When I purchased the Aurora 12-Sheet Crosscut Paper and Credit Card Shredder, I expected a modest tool for managing the clutter of my daily life. What I got instead was a formidable warrior of the modern office, a shredder so mighty it could have its own epic saga. Design: Sleek and Ready for Battle From the moment I unboxed this beauty, it was clear that the Aurora shredder meant business. Its matte black exterior, punctuated with intuitive controls, exudes professionalism. The 5.2-gallon wastebasket is not just a receptacle; it’s a bottomless abyss for the remnants of your secrets, documents, and expired credit cards. And the transparent window? It’s like a glimpse into the aftermath of a battle won. Performance: A Beast in Shredder's Clothing The 12-sheet capacity isn’t a marketing gimmick; it’s a declaration. I tested it with thick stacks of paper, glossy brochures, and even junk mail with those annoying plastic windows. The Aurora ate through it all with the ferocity of a lion in the wild. Credit cards? Reduced to confetti in seconds. Staples? Laughable. Paperclips? Child’s play. The crosscut mechanism transforms your documents into tiny, illegible fragments, ensuring your data stays your own. Sound: The Whispering Destroyer Unlike other shredders that roar like jet engines, the Aurora is surprisingly quiet. It hums with the precision of a finely tuned orchestra, offering the perfect balance between power and discretion. It’s like watching a superhero dismantle villains in graceful silence. Capacity: The Hunger of a Titan The 5.2-gallon wastebasket holds enough shredded material to fill a novella of destruction. Emptying it is a breeze, thanks to the pull-out design, which spares you the indignity of wrestling with a precariously balanced lid. Plus, the overheat protection feature ensures the Aurora never burns out during extended missions. Value: Worth Every Penny For the price, this shredder delivers the kind of value that feels almost too good to be true. It’s not just a machine; it’s peace of mind, efficiency, and security bundled into one sleek package. Whether you’re a small business owner, a home office aficionado, or just someone with a lot of old receipts, this shredder is your ultimate ally. The Verdict: The Apex Predator of Shredders The Aurora 12-Sheet Crosscut Paper and Credit Card Shredder doesn’t just shred—it conquers. It turns mundane tasks into acts of triumph and transforms your workspace into a fortress of security. If you’re looking for a shredder that goes above and beyond, look no further.

    • Work great!
Style: 12-Sheet Crosscut Pattern Name: Shredder
I have used this brand in the past. My other one just wore out after several years of use and I found this one to replace it. It's small, just the right size for my work space. I like the feature of being to turn them completely off. It goes through sheets of paper with easy, no jamming up on the shredder part. I also like the handle on the top to pull the shredder off when you need to dump it out. A little heavy when picking the unit up but not much. It won't break your arm off when picking it up. Overall, a great product for a great price! ... show more
