Super shredder

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This 20-sheet micro-cut shredder runs very quiet and is simple to set up. The instructions are really simple and only basic steps are needed to start using this shredder. Make sure to use the shredder lubricant sheet to lubricate the blades so it performs like it should. There is one included but make sure you continue to use the lubricant sheets at least twice a month. This shredder shreds paper into very small pieces and the paper just glides in easily. Having wheels on it allows me to roll it around as needed. This way I can place it where I need it or store it under my desk when I don't have to use it for a while. The features are quite nice. With a straight feed it's nice to know they thought of little fingers that might go into the chute thereby detecting and stopping the shredder immediately at the slightest touch. I run our small business in our home and have small children also so this is a wonderful feature to have. I always supervise my children and they usually don't go in my office but I really think this is a needed feature. There are plenty of status lights that let the operator know what's going on during operation. There is overheat protection overload protection and jam protection. The wastebasket is very large and holds a lot so I don't have to dump it often. It slides out and slides back easily so I have no issues dumping the shreds. The window allows you to see plus the wastebasket full indicator will make sure you know when it needs dumped. And if it matters much it has a nice modern appearance and looks appealing. I am very pleased with this shredder and if you have a small business or just need to shred personal documents credit cards CDs and DVDs then this is a great one to get.
Great shredder. Very quiet. Fast and easily handles multiple pages and sealed envelopes.

A little slow and bags don't fit well

Just purchased and unboxed this shredder today. Ran it intermittently for about an hour. Works as advertised. Slower than I had expected. The 20 page capacity might be a bit lofty. It seems more comfortable at the 10 page level depending on paper type/thickness. Quiet when operating. The one obvious deficiency is that there is no way to fasten liner bags to the container inside. If you drape the bags over the edge of the container it interferes with the front door closing and latching properly. If you try to loosely place the bag inside the container the shredded paper ends up all over the place. So I will not use a bag and empty the full container in the garbage bag. A bit messy and inconvenient but still workable. Overall it seems to be an average but reasonably good product at the price.

Slow and steady but works well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The staples 20 sheet micro shredder is very nice looking it has a sleek design. It's black and fits well in any small business office or even your home. It doesn't take up much space at all when it comes to a shredder. It's bigger than a mini shredder but small enough that it seems to fit well. The buttons are visible on the shredder and it has a clear window in the front where the shredded paper is visible. Now to the important information though how does it work - and the answer is good. It is a bit of a slower shredder and it claims it will cut through 20 sheets of paper no problem. So I put it to the test. It was extremely slow with more paper. 5 sheets was really easily shredded more than that it seemed bogged down. However it did make it through the 20 sheets. I thought for certain I'd have my first jam- but I didn't. It just took an extremely long time. The cuts are great you get the small diamond shred and not long strips of paper. I didn't realize I'd have a preference in the way my paper was shredded but now that I've seen it shredded into diamond I don't want the strips. You could easily piece together the strips - this would be almost impossible so it made me feel like the shred was secure. It seems like a sturdy machine that will last for awhile. The blades seem sharp and it's very easy to run. I also like that I can move it around easily. Where I need to store the shredder I don't have a plug in I can easily wheel it to the plug in do my shredding and put it back. The shred basket holds a lot of paper too I've used the shredder for about 3 weeks for a small business and I've not had to empty it yet.

Did not hold up. We purchased this back in October 2024. Our old one was on its last leg. When we receive this one it was quite and cut rather well. We did not over work the machine and really only used it about 6 times total. Now it will not cut nor will it pull the paper down to shred the paper. It seems like the button for it to reverse the paper out of the shredder is stuck .

Hi Nancy thanks for replying to our product review request. We appreciate you taking to time to let us know about your experience. ^BF
I like it. It says it has a 20-pg capacity. I haven't used it for that many yet. The only thing I don't like is that it is a bit noisy. My previous shredder from Staples lasted 10+ years. Hoping this one will do the same.
