FIRST TEST OF OPERATION
on December 7, 2025
Posted by: ROBERT SPRAGUE
TOO HEAVY TO LIFT POWER UNIT FROM WASTE TANK IN ORDER TO EMPTY TANK. MUCH TOO NOISY.

This shredder is not up to the task, personal or otherwise. It has not the strength or design to meet its name. It should be dropped from the Staples inventory.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I needed something small for my office and this fits the bill. A little work horse that chewed up and spit out shredded paper and didn't overheat after a dozen feedings. Good value

This is a decent shredder for the price point; it shreds 8 sheets at a time and does a good job. My only complaint is that it is fairly loud, so I tend to shred on days where I'm the only one in the office.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very pleased with this product glad i found it better than the last one I had like the way it shuts down or hibernates and works great.

8 sheets of paper were too many. Also I couldn't place the paper straight in; it would get twisted and the shredder kept overheating and I had to stop for awhile. I finally got to the point where I folded the paper in half and it didn't overheat quite as often. I was very disappointed with this product.

Demon shredder
on November 17, 2025

My unit is only on when I need to use it. Today after shredding a few sheets of paper, it would not stop. I shut it off and cleaned out the teeth and then it seemed fine. An hour later it started shredding again despite nothing being fed into it.
I also don't like that the opening is exactly the size of a sheet of paper, 8.5". Paper must be fed into it precisely to have the shredding begin.
I'll be returning it.

Broke after first use
on November 16, 2025

Shredder jammed on first use and I did not exceed 8 pages. First one side stopped working and then it stopped all together.
