Shreds like butter
on May 26, 2024
Posted by: L.G.
from Jacksonville
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the most powerful shredder I have seen lately. I placed three envelopes of bulk mail together and they went through the feeder as though they were a slab of soft butter. When sliding just one or two sheets it just glides through but I was amazed that it took no more effort with the thicker stacks of paper. This shredder will definitely come in handy as I have a few boxes of old statements and receipts to go through. The only thing I wish it had was two handles or indentations so that it was slightly more portable when I have to move it around a bit. Since I really won't have to do that a lot I think that I will be very happy with this shredder.

Staples Shredder review
on May 26, 2024
Posted by: A.S.
from Portsmouth
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall I appreciated the simplicity of this product. We have had a shredder for years and I’ve always felt it had too many bells and whistles for its own good. This shredder does shredding very well. I appreciate the bin size too. It is very easy collect the shredder paper for disposal and it’s large capacity meant I didn’t have to empty it as frequently. Our last shredder’s bin was too small and was much more prone to messes. We kept the shredder in our small office area and it did not take up too much space. Noise-wise it was on par with other shredders I’ve used previously but it was not terribly noisy. I feel the shredding module is somewhat heavy and may be prone to tipping over if bumped but I never had that issue myself. All in all this is a really nice shredder and I look forward to using it more in the future.

Great shredder
on May 26, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This paper shredder works great. I would say the noise level is pretty standard for a shredder…not quiet but not more noisy than usual. It did an incredible just shredding everything from checks to papers to credit cards. It makes the pieces VERY small and when I inserted 18 sheets of paper the shredder stopped and I was able to reverse the shredder to release the pages. The bin capacity is a decent size. In all the things I’ve shredded it didn’t fill up. For heavy use it would need emptied more often but for home use it’s going to fit my needs well.

Efficient Office Quality Shredder

from Fredericksburg
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Staples 15 Sheet Cross Cut Shredder is efficient fast and as quiet a unit as I've encountered. The safety guard on the top is a great feature and not one I've seen before in similar models. The bin capacity is great for home use (or lower volume offices). The machine makes quick work of multiple sheets at a time. The footprint of the unit is compact and fits nicely in my home office.

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.

Paper shredder
on May 26, 2024
Posted by: Nike muse
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] To anyone looking for an in home paper shredder this is the best one! While I don’t regularly use a shredder it comes in very handy with mail that I would prefer shredded as well as old credit cards. I no longer fear throwing stuff away and someone else getting ahold of it. This paper shredder is super efficient and smooth while shredding anything you can barely even tell it’s on. I haven’t had any jams yet and it continues to work flawlessly. I think this shredder is the perfect size for a home space it’s not too big but also not too small where you have to empty it all the time. We keep it in our laundry room and it barely takes up any room. I highly recommend this paper shredder for anyone looking for something medium sized and super efficient!

Perfect for my home office
on May 26, 2024
Posted by: E.S.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Staples 12 Sheet Cross Cut Shredder is a solid choice for light-duty shredding needs at home. It's affordable user-friendly and effectively turns documents into confetti-like pieces for secure disposal. For occasional shredding it's efficient enough. It handles up to 12 sheets at a time which is sufficient for most personal documents. However it might struggle with thicker papers or large batches. Additionally the run time is limited requiring cool down periods after extended use which can disrupt your workflow for bigger shredding jobs. The shred size is decent. It offers cross-cut shreds which provide good security for most personal documents. The bin capacity is also reasonable for home use. It holds a good amount of shredded paper before needing to be emptied. The compact size makes it ideal for home office environments. It easily fits on a desk or under the desk without taking up too much space. Using it is straightforward. Simply plug it in feed the paper through the designated slot and press the button. The noise level is relatively quiet compared to some other models making it suitable for use around family members. In Summary: The Staples 12 Sheet Cross Cut Shredder is a decent option for occasional shredding tasks in a home office setting. It's affordable user-friendly and offers secure shredding. However if you need a shredder for frequent use or heavy-duty jobs consider a model with a larger capacity and longer run time.

Efficient shredder
on May 25, 2024
Posted by: Mom
from Clearwater
[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.
