After putting this shredder through some pretty intense usage I am impressed with its performance! When I first received the shredder I was a little worried about the size of the collection bin and was prepared to empty frequently based on using similar capacity shredders in the past. However I was pleasantly surprised as this shredder just kept shredding and shredding before requiring the bin to be emptied. That is a big plus for me! I didn't experience any jams when shredding the recommended quantity of sheets. Even when I went a little over the recommended quantity I didn't experience jams but just a little slower performance (though that is to be expected) as I was trying to push the limit to see if it would jam. The motor seems very strong and durable and is about as loud as any comparable product on the market but shredders typically aren't quiet anyways. The only issue that I experienced was having to put smaller items to shred in the center of the feeder to get it to start. I put issue in parenthesis because this really isn't an issue it's more of a preference of being able to place an item anywhere in the feeder to start. I would not hesitate to purchase a Staples brand shredder based on my experience. Overall it is a quality product and is comparable to any similar capacity shredder on the market and should be seriously considered!

I used this shredder to finally clean out years of paperwork that I did not need to hang onto any longer but didn't know what I should do to deal with it. It had a lot of private info that I didn't feel safe just tossing out. It felt good to run through everything I had been lugging around all these years in just half an hour. It says it's good to shred up to 10 sheets at once but I found that was just a safe number during my test I pushed it just a little bit past that (13 maybe 14 sheets) and it performed just fine. I wouldn't make a habit of that because I don't want to shorten the lifespan of this shredder but it performed great for me. The bin that it comes with holds a ton of shredded paper and tipping it out into a grocery bag to throw away was very easy. It has a switch inside the mouth of the shredder that automatically turns it on when something is inserted and it continues for a little bit after the paper has fully gone through just to clear out the teeth. I've used shredders in the past that had a manual switch and that got exhausting. You could leave this plugged in all day if you wanted too and it would be right there ready to go.

It is a solid personal shredder. It is good for personal use or light home office use. It does a nice job of cross cutting and is fairly quiet. You do have to watch the 8 sheet limit and not push the machine beyond its capabilities.

This shredder is very aesthetically appealing and because the base is a wide rectangle it is very sturdy and not prone to tipping or falling. However it only has an 8-sheet capacity and is almost twice as loud as my 12-sheet shredder. Additionally it stays on after shredding paper for a few seconds longer than my other shredder which means you're hearing that loud noise for nearly twice as long. The shredded papers are almost the exact same size and shape of other cross-cut shredders so security-wise it is very comparable. I thikn that overall this shredder is a very good value and it seems to do a very good job.

Very easy set up isn’t very noisy shredded up to 8 pages of copy paper easily also shredded credit card easily. Easy to move around where needed easy to empty the bin. I would definitely purchase this shredder it is the perfect size for any home office tucks away in a corner or under a table. I shredded quite a lot over the past two weeks and it never bogged down and always ran smoothly even with staples still on some pages.

Excellent! Very easy to use! It says 8 sheets but I tempted fate and did 10 sheets one time. It handled it like a champ! It’s probably not good for the shredder to do on a regular basis but it can handle it.

Hands down the best shredder I have ever used. The paper is easy to load into the shredder there is no mess and it's simple to empty the contents when finished. Best of all this shredder is lightweight so I am able to move it from my office to another room with no issue. I highly recommend.
