[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The staples 20 sheet micro shredder is very nice looking it has a sleek design. It's black and fits well in any small business office or even your home. It doesn't take up much space at all when it comes to a shredder. It's bigger than a mini shredder but small enough that it seems to fit well. The buttons are visible on the shredder and it has a clear window in the front where the shredded paper is visible. Now to the important information though how does it work - and the answer is good. It is a bit of a slower shredder and it claims it will cut through 20 sheets of paper no problem. So I put it to the test. It was extremely slow with more paper. 5 sheets was really easily shredded more than that it seemed bogged down. However it did make it through the 20 sheets. I thought for certain I'd have my first jam- but I didn't. It just took an extremely long time. The cuts are great you get the small diamond shred and not long strips of paper. I didn't realize I'd have a preference in the way my paper was shredded but now that I've seen it shredded into diamond I don't want the strips. You could easily piece together the strips - this would be almost impossible so it made me feel like the shred was secure. It seems like a sturdy machine that will last for awhile. The blades seem sharp and it's very easy to run. I also like that I can move it around easily. Where I need to store the shredder I don't have a plug in I can easily wheel it to the plug in do my shredding and put it back. The shred basket holds a lot of paper too I've used the shredder for about 3 weeks for a small business and I've not had to empty it yet.
While the shredder does deliver a micro cut the titling of the shredder as “150 sheets” is misleading as that only occurs when you load 150 sheets (no staples etc) into a feeder that slowly feeds them through the shredder. The shredder itself actually only suggests 12 sheets being shred at a time well below the 150 count advertised.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall this shredder has been very efficient at what it's supposed to do - shred. It's much heavier than I expected. I anticipate it won't tip over like my much lighter (and older) unit would if it was bumped. It's as much more quiet than I expected. I used this to shred packing paper from the boxes that arrive so I can add it to my compost and it did wonderfully! It ran for close to 10 minutes and didn't feel the least bit warm to the touch. I did have to manually hold down the advance button a few times to keep the feed going. I don't anticipate I'll have as large of a batch next time. I appreciate there cover that closes to hide the insertion feed. Since this is going to see primarily home office and personal use it a bonus that little fingers won't get caught as easily.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've recently tried the Staples 10-Sheet Micro-Cut Personal Shredder and I couldn't be happier with how incredibly useful it is! This shredder is compact yet powerful plus it's quite fast I shredded a small box of documents in 5 minutes and the bin was a little over half full it effortlessly handles up to 10 sheets at a time without papers getting jammed or stuck. Love the micro-cut feature that provides more security ensuring that my sensitive documents are thoroughly destroyed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was surprised at how large the shredder is. I really liked that it rolls and is easy to move around. The bin can hold a lot and doesn't have to be emptied as often. That said the shredder would not turn on and therefore I cannot recommend it. I initially tried turning it on without reading the directions. Surely a shredder can't be that hard to figure out. It wouldn't turn on and so I had to consult the manual. It still doesn't turn on and I tried it on multiple outlets and my husband also tried to get it to turn on but no luck.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shredder was ultra quiet to use. Very easy operating for all users. I loved that it shredded everything so tiny. A plus for privacy and security. I will continue to use this shredder at home for personal use. The bin seems to hold a good amount of paper. Would recommend this product.
