Good paper shredder
on May 26, 2024
Posted by: R.F.
from Westminster
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This paper shredder does its job. It is a bit large for what I need to use it for but that also means that I don't have to empty it with any frequency. The size and price are not ideal for me because I don't need to use it with any regularity. When I do use it though it works quickly and is effective. I have no need for concern about safety because of the v-track blades. One drawback is the noise level. In my shared office space I avoid using it when the other person is in a meeting because it is clearly audible. Overall a good option for someone who will use it more frequently.

Compact and efficient

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using this shredder in my home office for a couple of weeks and I love it! It is a bit heavy but rolls easily over hardwood floors and its compact size makes it a great addition to my office. I can shred up to 24 sheets of paper at one time with no problem and I like that it has the capability to shred credit cards and CDs. The shred size is small enough that sensitive information is obscured and the bin can hold a couple of weeks of regular shredding before it needs to be emptied. As my first shredder I'm very happy with how quiet and easy it is to use!

great shredder upgrade

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was pleasantly surprised by this shredder. It was easy to use not a terribly disruptive noise and it turned my papers into confetti instantly. No need to worry about security after papers have been through this thing. I has great capacity for a home office shredder but looks like a modest trash can in size and appearance. It's surprisingly heavy but I guess that makes sense with the capacity of the motor. It sits nicely in the corner of our home office with no problems. If you had asked me before getting this what I was looking for in a dream shredder I don't think I would have had a long list of priorities. But after trying this one I can point out that the look size efficiency capacity and sound level of a shredder do actually matter! This is a great one!

Excellent Shredder for Small or Home office
on May 25, 2024

from Houston
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shredder can efficiently handle a variety of materials from multiple pages to CDs/DVDs and credit cards. This not only fulfills all the requirements of a small home office but also distinguishes itself by operating with notably less noise compared to our previous shredder. This quieter operation enhances the overall user experience making it a highly appreciated feature.

Good shreds and easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Staples 12 Sheet Cross Cut Shredder is a fairly compact and attractive paper shredder. The bucket holds 4.25 gallons of paper shreds and is solid plastic which is great because no paper bits escape while you're shredding or emptying the bucket. I felt like I was able to shred a decent size pile of papers before I needed to empty it. The shredder fits well in the corner of the home office. There is a switch that switches from off to on or reverse. I didn't need the reverse function at all while I was using it because it didn't jam! The shredder is relatively quiet for a paper shredder though it does make a noise reminiscent of a dental drill while shredding especially when you have more papers going through at once. It shredded even 12 papers at a time fairly quickly and had no problem chomping up a credit card. The resulting cross cut shreds are small and appear to give a good level of security as it would be exceptionally difficult to piece them together again. The shredder is easy to use and easy to empty. I would have liked some sort of handle on the bucket to be able to lift the entire unit easily to change location. It's a bit cumbersome to carry from the bottom but seeing at how one doesn't often move from room to room with a shredder this is likely not going to pose an issue for the average able bodied user.

Overall great purchase
on May 25, 2024
Posted by: E.H.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] At first I was a bit hesitant with being 24 sheets but boy was I impressed! With shredding confidential documents regularly this was going to be put to use! It can handle 15-20 sheets with ease anything over that I had to reverse and forward again a few times but overall it went through. This holds up to about 100 I’d guess sheets before I’d recycle. With about 3 of us using it we’d dump nightly after work. With its small compact size and not making much noise it was great to put in my small office without notice. Only con I have is that sometimes the staples got jammed up when doing more than about 12 sheets. Overall great product would recommend!

Good for personal use

from Columbia
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We use this paper shredder for our home office needs mostly shredding sensitive documents. I love that it does 12 sheets at once allowing bulk shredding and the bin is large enough that I can get through quite a bit and not have to empty it. It handles cards and staples without issue. It is a bit loud- I wouldn’t use it if my partner was on a call nearby but given that it can do so many sheets at once the noise is brief and overall not too bothersome. Overall very easy to use and gets the job done reliably!

Shredded

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall I liked this shredder. It came packaged well with a nice thick plastic for the bin doesn't feel like it'll break easily. The top part with the motor feels solid and has good grips so it won't be dropped easily. It has nice tabs that help guide the top into the bin the top also fits nicely and is held securely (bin can't deform to allow the shredder to sink in). I like that it shreds strips of cardboard without too much struggle (we use that to feed our compost pile). One negative was it had a loud whinny noise at first but that seemed to subside after several uses; Now the noise level seems to bee surprisingly low. I have another shredder that drowns out podcasts I'm listening to on my headphones. Overall I think this is an excellent shredder with a nice bin capacity and not a lot of noise.
