[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used the Staples 15 Sheet Cross Cut Shredder several times over the past few weeks. The shredder is sturdy heavy and large enough without being overbearing. The shred size is fine providing confidence that personal information will be protected. It easily and quickly shreds up to 15 sheets of paper at a time as well as credit cards. There is no significant difference in speed or noise volume between 1 sheet and 15 sheets. Overall the noise volume is pretty on par for a home shredder. The bin capacity is quite large has a window to easily view how full it is and holds more than I expected it to. I love how the top cover slides over the paper slot to turn the shredder on and off as it protects curious little fingers and prevents anything unwanted from falling into the slot. It is currently stored in a closet away from toddlers but the optional wheels make it very convenient and easy to roll out and plug in when needed. I have not noticed any flaws and find this to be the perfect home shredder considering the shredding efficiency wheels for easy moving capacity and safety of the paper slot top cover.

Practical paper shredder for home use

[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.
