Efficient shredder

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I appreciate the shredding capacity of this shredder its large bin size and that I don’t need to remove staples before shredding. It’s a great size and has wheels so I slide it into my closet behind hanging clothes when not in use. My only complaint was a moment of difficulty connecting the few pieces to assemble the shredder but once I added a little force it came together fine.

Perfect for at home shredding needs

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great shredder. This will satisfy all your at home shredding needs. First impression - I loved that there were minimal pieces to get it ready to use. The wheels went on really quick and easy. The top seemed way too heavy for the bottom part to support it but it ended up being totally fine. Actual Use - Super easy to use. Plug it in and it's ready to go. It is actually waiting for you to put paper in as it starts working when you place something in the slot without having to push. Any buttons. But does it really work? Yes!! I tested the 15 page theory and all the pages shredded without jamming. I also had an expired credit card and put that in there and it went fine. Checked the bin and the papers are very shredded! My husband actually commented at how quiet it is when it runs. In closing - if you're in need of an at-home shredder. This one is for you. The bin size is not so small that you'll be emptying every time and not so big that it takes up too much space.

Great for home and office

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been looking for a shredder to do double duty for our household needs and for work related tasks. The Staples 24 sheet cross cut commercial shredder is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Not only is it an attractive piece of equipment but it is also a workhorse! I recently had to shred multiple packets containing sensitive material (each packet between 10 and 23 pieces of paper) and the shredder handle all of them with ease never jamming once. It’s very easy to empty and had no issues with the staples in the documents either. I highly recommended this for shredding large projects as well as for the incredible amount of junk mail everyone receives!

Efficient paper shredder

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this paper shredder in my office with 5-6 other people. It was convenient to not have to remove staples and not worry about doing all my shredding in small increments. Given the amount of paper it can shred at a time the noise it made was minimal. My favorite part of this shredder was the safety lid that covers where the paper is inserted. It is easy to use and easy to clean once the bin is full.

Nice shredder
on May 25, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a nice shredder with a good amount of power behind it. It can handle things like staples that others can’t. It is a little loud but most of them are. I took off one star because of the noise.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shredder does what it's supposed to as efficiently and as quietly as one can reasonably expect. The shreds are definitely small enough that I would not worry at all about security. The bin is quite large especially if just using it at home for personal use like I am. To start shredding just slide the top open and feed the papers in. It works fast and I haven't had anything get jammed. When you're done slide it closed--very easy. The sliding mechanism feels sturdy. The shredder has casters to move it around. However take care if you need to move it since it is top heavy. I kept the shredder in my bedroom where space is limited so I did need to move it around to use it. The noise is not too loud and lower pitched so it's not irritating at all. Overall I recommend it if you're looking for a paper shredder.

Great Shredder

from Camp Hill
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed to replace an old shredder and was very pleased with this new shredder. It’s sturdy and gets the job done. I think the shred size and bin are perfect for my small home office. The ease of use was simplistic and I appreciate that. It sounds like a shredder when used but nothing overwhelming.

Great for home office
on May 25, 2024
Posted by: F.D.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall this shredder was good. It fits perfectly in the small space between the printer and the desk of our home office. The noise is not terrible. It's about what I would expect from a shredder. It didn't scare my dogs or kid so that's a win for me but I wouldn't use it while people were sleeping. It says it can shred 12 pages at once. I would disagree. It eventually gets there but it takes a lot for it to manage the 12 pages and I believe if you did that frequently it would eventually break. I think 10 pages would be a better description. The bin would also need to be emptied regularly but that doesn't bother me at all because the compact size is perfect. I think the shred size is good but if you're shredding super sensitive documents you may want something different. For the basics it's exactly what you need. Overall I think it's a great compact shredder that does well and is a nice addition to our home office for small business and home use.
