Capable with a Nice Shred Size
on May 24, 2024
Posted by: J.D.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a small business owner I really like this shredder! Overall impression good! Top heavy and a bit hard to move on carpeted areas but easy to use and I just set it in one place and leave it there. I really like the ability to shred 24 pieces at once and it has the capability of shredding credit cards and CDs. Document bin capacity is sufficient for personal or small business use (1-2 ppl). It has a nice small shred size. Loved how it shredded credit cards. This shredder has a cute window in the front to assess waste bin capacity and shredding limits. The look of it is simple and clean. The use of it is easy to figure out. Setup was quick and simple.

Easy and Efficient

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This paper shredder gets the job done! Sleek simple design not too loud quick and efficient. The document capacity allows for quick disposal of larger amounts of papers and the bin capacity is sufficient to hold the shredded waste. It is quite heavy and cumbersome especially when unboxing but once put in its place in the office the heaviness is not an issue. I appreciate the safety features especially having a little one at home and walking near and around the home office! We love this shedder and serves our home and work needs well.

Review of Staples 15 Sheet Cross Cut Shredder
on May 24, 2024
Posted by: Marshall
from Santa Barbara
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall my initial impression of the Staples 15 Sheet Cross Cut Shredder was positive. Classic black matte color decent sized but not so big that it won't fit nicely in my office. The sliding function that covers the slot where the paper gets inserted is a nice feature though as the parent it would be nice if there was some sort of locking mechanism to prevent access even further. Once plugged in it is simple and easy to use based on the buttons on the shredder and the short instructions that came along with it. I was able to shred multiple pieces of paper no problem along with an old credit card and some thicker cardstock. Very efficient for the function. The box states that it is capable of 20 minutes of consecutive shredding which is well more than I anticipate ever needing. The size of the shredded paper makes me feel comfortable that no one would be able to put together any information from the remains. The machine is about as loud as you'd expect from a medium sized paper shredder; not obnoxious by any means but not silent either. The first time I took the bin out to empty it and put it back in it didn't seem to catch correctly and I had to work it a little bit to get it fully aligned. Perhaps a bit of "operator error" but it feels like it should have fit easier. The bin itself is plastic but it is somewhat flexible and bends easily so if it was more firm that may not have been an issue. The main reason that I could not give this five stars is two minor issues. First the prongs on the plug were slightly bent coming out of the box so I had to adjust them before I could plug in the machine. Second one of the four wheels was missing the metal peg that inserts into the bottom of the shredder so I was unable to put all four wheels on it which really meant I could not put any wheels on it without it being off balance. That didn't seem like a big issue to me as I do not foresee a need to move the shredder around. Overall a good shredder.

Efficient Shredder

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall I was impressed with this shredder. I was able to shred 5 pieces of paper at one time both folded and unfolded. I was able to constantly shred for at least 6 minutes without having to pause because it needed to cool down. The shred size was decent. However you could still read words that were shredded. If I were to be picky I would say the shred size could be smaller so that words could not be read but for my purposes the current shred size was fine for my needs. As far as the bin capacity after 3 1/2 minutes of constantly shredding I had to pause briefly to empty the bin. While this was a minor inconvenience I wouldn’t want the bin to be bigger as that would make the shredder bigger as well. So the bin capacity was a good size. The shredder is kept in our small office area with other office supplies. I love how easy it is to use. I simply put the top on which is relatively heavy; plug it in; turn it on and start shredding. While the shredder is somewhat noisy since it is only used for small moments at a time it’s not too much of a bother for me.

Nice office equipment

from Taylors
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I utilize this shredder in my workplace office. I have a small business that requires old sensitive data to be shredded and this shredder fits perfectly under my desk and is able to accommodate the amount of paper I need to shred on a daily basis. It's nice that it can shred one piece of paper or a big stack and I don't have to worry about taking out staples. It's a nice durable fast piece of office equipment that works perfectly for my small business needs.

from Charles Town
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As the person who handles the banking/admin side of our household as well as a full time remote worker I have a lot of documents with sensitive information that have been piling up as I've looked for a way to securely dispose of them. This shredder has been enormously helpful! It's compact enough to easily fit under my desk but the bin holds a surprising amount of pages. It has easily handled everything I've fed through including some thicker cardstock. I haven't had a single jam or problem and it worked straight out of the box with almost no set up needed. This shredder is a must-have for any home office or anyone who handles the banking for their family!

Amazing Shredder

from Torrance
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my very first paper shredder. I've never even had one available to me at work. So you can consider my review as very good "first impression". The Staples 24 Sheet Cross Cut Commercial Shredder is amazing!! As someone who's always worried about her personal mail getting into the wrong hands (despite being thrown into the trash) I always would just cross out or rip up papers by hand to make it a little more difficult for anyone who might come looking. Not anymore!! Not just mail... but literally all things paper related have gone in. Cardboard mail packaging material plastic cards... you name it. The shredder destroyed it with ease. There's something so satisfying about it going in one piece and coming out the other end as nicely shredded material. This is perfect for anyone looking to get rid of sensitive paperwork or add some eco-friendly packaging material to their mail! Did I mention.. this things got wheels? Granted it makes sense since it's so heavy but not all heavy things come with them! It's got a cover slider to help keep accidental shredding from happening and the shred bin is generously roomy. I highly recommend this shredder to all!

A great shredder for my home
on May 23, 2024
Posted by: N.V.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s the perfect size. Fits underneath my desk nicely doesn’t take up a lot of space. It’s not too loud that it’s distracting. Shreds nicely eats the paper pretty smoothly. The bin size is a good size perfect for at-home use.
