This shredder would be perfect in a small home office or a dorm room. It shreds paper well. I have no worry that my info has been shredded beyond recognition. It does only take 8 pages at once and does not jam with staples. However if you put in 9 pages it will jam. Additionally the feeder is very thin: what you have to feed in has to be in a nice neat pile. IF you have more than a few pages to do it would take a long time. If you have a bigger shred job this is not for you. But if you have to shred a few pieces of mail a day this would be the right shredder for you.

Staples 8-Sheet Shredder is a compact and complete solution for private and sensitive shredding at home. I used it daily immediately shredding unwanted mail. I experienced no overheating or jamming when used as directed keeping the shredding to eight sheets or less. It was also quiet much less quiet than my household vacuum. The shredder does not have have wheels so you plug in close to an outlet or use an extension cord.

The Staples 8-sheet shredder performed excellent during our initial use period. The initial set-up was quick and simple using the included Operators Manual. The shredder performed as expected for an 8-sheet cross cut shredder. Feeding 1-4 letter sized pieces of paper into the shredder at a time it shreds them quickly and with little noise. Feeding 4-8 letter size pieces of paper into the shredder at once slows down the shredder a bit but it still shreds them quickly and into small cross cut pieces. The shredder turns whatever is fed into it in to hundreds of 3/16 x 1 1/4 pieces that makes it very secure to use for sensitive documents. Documents with staples attached to them were also shredded with ease and quickly. I would recommend the Staples 8-Sheet Shredder for home or small business use.

It is a high quality product. It is easy to use but you must get the paper you want shredded in exactly straight or it will wad up and bog down. It needs to be quieter to me it is to loud. It does what it says it will do shred your documents but will only shred about 4 or 5 pages withough bogging down. If you want a shredder for your own personal use this is the one to think about.

The Staples 8-sheet shredder is almost perfect. There are many positives with this products. It cuts paper and credit cards efficiently in a cross cut pattern. It automatically starts cutting as soon as I feed it through the slot and I don’t have to worry about it not being shredded enough. There are a one negatives that are not dealbreakers but could make the shredder more enjoyable to use. First is that it is very heavy. The handles are attached to the top shredder portion so if I need to transport or move the shredder around my office I can’t hold it from the handles otherwise I could accidentally knock it over and all the paper could fall out. Overall I’m satisfied with this shredder but I just have to be carefully when moving this.

First I loved the compact size. I placed it right between my home desk and file cabinet. It fits perfectly. I like the color and the easy to use controls. Very user friendly. I first used it for mail that comes for credit cards and thought this was perfect to shred it instead of just throwing it away. Makes me feel more secure that my information is shredded. I counted 8 pages of junk mail to see if it stood up to it's 8 page promise and it did well. I could tell any more than that and it would probably jam. I had some expired credit cards I ran through the shredder and it worked perfectly. All i n all I thought it's a nice and compact shredder.
