I have tested this product to shed paper from 1 page up to 8 pages. My first impression is that the unit is running smoothly with low noise. I like to paper that was shedded cut into cross and small pieces which is the increase the security and difficult if someone tries to restore to the original. One observation that I want to bring up is that when shedding 6 or 7 pages depending on the thickness of papers I may hear the unit vrooming in louder sounds. With my experience of the previous shedder don't push the unit to the max. It may run now but soon it may show some difficulties and eventually stop working (just to take one single paper every time after the problem started to surface). The noise level of motor is much better than my previous model.

Unboxing was straight forward. The unit was packed well with two pieces to assemble. The motorized shredder is heavy which creates a top-heavy unit. However it does not appear to be unstable. The on/off/reverse switch is self-explanatory. Shredded pieces are about three quarters of an inch. They are about the same size as those made by my $300 Fellowes shredder. The unit is loud. This may be the result of the plastic being thin and not shielding the noise. I found the slot to be tight in both width and length. The slot size causes some aggravation aligning the papers to be shredded to fit. I did not encounter any jamming if limiting the eight regular paper bunch. With heavy stock you can not expect to shred eight pieces as they wont fit in the slot. Credit cards shred without a problem.

I have enjoyed using the Staples 8 shredder and it is perfect for my office. The paper shreds quickly and effortlessly through the shredded and the bin is also very easy to empty. The shredder motor is quiet and overall I have been pleased with the performance I would recommend the shredder and love the kit how it was packaged. Assembly was easy and it was easy to set up.

The shredder worked great. I was able to shred everything that I tried to put in it. I put multiple pieces of paper stapled papers and credit cards. The container that caught the shredded paper was sturdy and it was easy to take the shredder portion off to dump it. The shredder portion is about 5lbs and fits nicely on top of the collection basket. It's also small and compact so it's easy to store in a number of places.

This shredder is the perfect size for a home office. The noise level was quite a bit less than expected. It shred several sheets of paper at a time with no issues. And it was quick to shred at a low noise level.

I really think this is a great product not just saying that because I'm testing it. I have put multi sheets different textures of paper through this and it has worked perfectly. I really like this so far.

The shredder worked incredibly well for me! It was very easy to hook and very user-friendly. I love that there's an overheating indicator and the auto start and stop function is a lifesaver. I only had one very small issue of the shredder jamming but that was a user error. I put too many sheets in at once while testing the shredder. Other than that I had zero issues with this. I also love how compact it is and very easily fits in with my other office machines. I would definitely recommend this!

The Staples 8-Sheet Shredder proves to be a powerhouse for its small size. The performance of this product is impressive because of its capacity to process a variety of mediums successfully with a reasonable decibel of sound and expected speed. It works smoothly to devour regular paper cardboard and credit cards. I found this unit to be quieter than some other shredders. I found the mechanism of shredding to be well made giving me confidence. The pace in which it consumes to items is on pace with other shredders. I appreciated the inclusion of the lubrication sheets which I believe is part of what makes this unit so successful. I believe with correct upkeep the durability of this product will show over time because of its high quality. Over 30-minute intervals the shredder is able to maintain consistently. I am sure this unit could be pushed beyond its recommendations because of its quality and durability - a few more sheets maybe two credit cards instead of one thicker cardboard longer use-time etc.; however Staples sets you up for success by giving parameters that keep this unit in tip-top condition. My helpful tip would be to follow directions and keep the unit clean and lubricated. The slot for the paper could be a little wider but was still functional and acceptable. Overall I am rating this 5-star because I really appreciate how much this small feeder can handle and felt that it did an excellent job being pushed to its limit. I am delighted with what the Staples 8-Sheet Shredder accomplishes while having a small footprint.
