Practical paper shredder for home use
on May 23, 2024
Posted by: D.H.
from Lakewood
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This paper shredder by Staples is definitely a solid choice for anyone on the market for home office solution for paper shredding. This machine is pretty efficient and can definitely handle multiple pages simultaneously; though I did not have the need to try for 15 pages at once (its stated capacity) I'm sure it could handle that load. The shredder can take a letter-sized page through its feed in about 10 seconds. The bin capacity is great! After a few weeks of regular use I still have not had to empty it. The shred size is pretty compact and I have no concerns about security when it comes to emptying the bin into our recycling container outside. I have this shredder near my desk in my home office and its casters make it easy to store in a corner under a desk or even in a closet since you can move it into the right position for the job when needed. I appreciate how simple it is to use the shredder with its sliding top: close the top when not in use (a nice safety measure!) and slide it back for automatic turn-on. My only complaint would be that the size of the feed is only large enough for the short side of a letter-sized page making it difficult to casually throw in a page for shredding -- you need to be pretty precise when feeding something through. As for the noise level: it's not quiet! But the motor turns off automatically once a page has been shredded which keeps the annoyance down. Overall this is a very practical and useful shredder and I would recommend it to friends and colleagues looking for one for use at home.

Staples 24 sheet shredder
on May 23, 2024

from Moulton
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very efficient shredder that can handle up to 24 sheets at a time. It is the perfect size for a small office! It is also quiet enough for a small office space as well. The bonus of being able to handle credit cards and CDs was also a great addition. I tried out the credit card function and was impressed. The size of the shredded fragments are perfect. This is definitely more secure than just long strips. My favorite feature was the ability to add a bin liner to make emptying easier. The bin is large enough that it doesn’t have to be emptied often but the liners do make it convenient when the time arises. Overall I would recommend especially for the small business owner with limited space looking for an efficient and secure shredder.

Quiet and powerful

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have been using the Staples 24 sheet cross cut commercial shredder in our office for a few weeks and it's really efficient. It handles large volumes of paper without frequent jams even when the staples are left in and the cross cut shred size provides a good level of security for our office. There is a nice LED indicator that tells you when the bin is getting full and the bin capacity is large enough that we don't have to empty it often. In total there are about 20 people in our office who shred documents regularly and the controls are intuitive enough that no one has had problems using it. The shredder is kept in a common area next to the printing station and it's remarkable how quiet this shredder is. It’s almost as quiet as the printer. I would highly recommend this shredder for any office needing a heavy-duty shredding solution.

The Perfcet Everyday Shredder

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shredder is a great addition to any home and works just as described. I loved that it is not too big and it fits perfectly in my home office. It was very easy to set up and use right out of the box. It was very efficient at shredding and it could easily shred up to 12 sheets of paper at once. I also shredded some old credit cards and it handled them very well. Another thing that I really liked about this shredder was the bin capacity. I shredded over 75 sheets of paper and did not have to empty the bin. This helps when you are short on time and just need to shred some papers quickly. I also liked how small the shred size was. All of the documents that I shredded were shred small enough so there was no important information remaining. As mentioned before I use this paper shredder in my home office. It does not take up much room and could easily fit under desks or on shelves if you do not want it taking up floor space. This shredder is not very loud when compared to other paper shredders I have used. I also really like that you can see the paper volume from the front so you know when to empty the bin. Overall this is a great paper shredder for anyone looking for a shredder for at home or a home office. It is compact shreds very efficiently and does not make a great deal of noise. I would recommend this product to all my family and friends.

Super Shredder
on May 22, 2024
Posted by: Olives
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sturdy? Efficient? Safe? This shredder wont add much to any design aesthetic however it is sturdy efficient and safe. This medium sized shredder has a bit more capacity than is needed for a home office/ hybrid corporate office mom. However if this size is the only one with a shredding slot cover I'm sold. When opening the cover the teeth start chomping which was not expected since there is a paper auto detect function. Docked a star for that since it sort of goes against the safety cover aspect. The optional wheels are also a nice touch.

Great hardworking paper shredder

from Moseley
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently started a new job working from home and needed a shredder to properly destroy any sensitive information. As soon as I received this shredder I had a stack of papers close several feet tall that needed to be shredded. I was able to feed multiple pages through at the same time. Both the manual and automatic feed worked great and I didn't experience any jams or overheating. The bin was pretty good sized and I was able to shred a lot of paper before needing to empty it. A nice feature is that the shredder stops when the bin is near full so you don't need to worry about overflowing. I would definitely recommend.

Perfect shredder for home use
on May 22, 2024
Posted by: E.F.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The 12 sheet shredder has been such a great addition to our home. I was constantly worried about throwing out paper with any personal information on it and was just accumulating a giant pile with no way to properly dispose of it. Now we keep the shredder in the kitchen and when I get the mail daily after going through what we need to keep I can quickly shred the rest in under a minute. The bin is the perfect size to put a grocery bag in and take out each week with the rest of the trash and the shreds are the perfect size that no information is legible after being shredded but not so tiny that it floats around and makes a mess. This is perfect for home use and I highly recommend it for anyone looking to keep their personal information secure.

Meh

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The shredder is small doesn’t take up much space and it’s currently in my living room under an end table. It’s not terribly loud and the bin holds the perfect amount of shredded paper. I don’t like ones with huge bins as they are hard to dispose the tiny strips of paper when full. This one has a smaller bin and I can toss the scraps without making a mess. The shredder worked ok it got the job done. However it will not shred 12 pieces of paper without causing a major jam that is not easy to remove. It sucks in the larger amounts on an angle no matter how straight you place it in. The most paper I could shred was 7 pieces. I don’t have massive amounts to shred at a time but not once could this shredder do 12 sheets of paper at a time without a jam. If you have small amounts that have to be shredded maybe get this or take to your local bank who will likely dispose for free. If you need a small shredder in your office go for it but know you will not be shredding more than 7 pieces of paper at a time.
