Great piece of equipment. Love that it is so silent in operation. Be sure to buy the bags that go with it as they are vey good and hold a lot.

A great and efficient heavy duty shredder

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love that this is on wheels and has a safety cover that easily slides closed (to protect little fingers). Seems to shred really well I’ve tried it with old credit cards and stacks of around 15 pages at a time and it didn’t flinch. Not sure about it starting up as soon as you slide it open (again because of concern with kids) but this will be kept unplugged and away from them so shouldn’t be an issue just not sure why it auto starts on opening. The bin is huge and has a nice see through opening to see capacity. Doesn’t slide back in super slickly but either a bit of wobbling it goes back in easy. Overall a great product that gets the job done with some nice extra features with the easy to move wheels and safety cover.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I feel like this shredder is awesome for basic home use. I tested it with 15 pages at once and it basically handled it at the same speed as one page at once so that was nice! The bin holds a really good amount - I have maybe used it for around 40 to 50 pages at this point and it’s only half full. It shredded a credit card nicely too. Also it’s surprisingly heavy which I super appreciate because I don’t have to worry about it falling over or being bumped. I also love how the top closes up because my children don’t even know it opens and that way they aren’t trying to shove things in while it’s unplugged. I feel like the noise is about as good as you can expect from a machine that is shredding paper to bits haha it’s really not that loud. Anyway for a home shredder that I only use for random personal documents and expired cards I am VERY happy and would completely recommend it to anyone. It does its job perfect!
We replaced a Staples professional series 10 yo machine that was tired. I would have preferred to find another machine in the professional series but it is no longer available. The repacement works OK but is sig. louder than the previous one. In addition the shredded material is less granular than before (larger pieces). Time will tell how long it will last.
