[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.

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!

Nice shredder

[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.

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!

Good for personal use

[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!

Excellent Shredder for Small or Home office

[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.

Great Shredder

[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 a small office
on May 25, 2024
Posted by: ashcane
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have this shredder in my home office at the moment though I believe it would work very well for a small office as well. After receiving the shredder I tested it on a box of documents I’ve been meaning to shred for months. It took care of the whole box in about 10 minutes. I felt the bin capacity was generous however you often have to open the bin every once in awhile and push the piled up paper away from the sensor long before the capacity is reached. This along with the fact that there’s no pull handle or place to grasp the bin to pull it out makes the task more annoying than it should be. I’ll be using this to shred client documents containing sensitive information and the shred size is appropriate for this. I like the wheels on the bottom of the shredder as this will be tucked in the corner of my L-desk. The shredder is very easy to use especially considering mine didn’t appear to come with any directions.
