It's surprisingly quiet and able to cut through a decent amount of papers at once. It didn't cut through the 20 at a time as advertised but it does 10-15 at a time okay. The fine cut shreds are not only more secure than the old cross cuts but also allow the bin to hold much more cuttings.
This shredder just powers through everything and even lets you know when the bin is full with a red light on top and a beep sound. So far I have had no issues with it and would definitely recommend it.
My old shredder broke I needed one soon. I checked with Staples and found this shredder at a reasonable price. I shreds great into micro pieces. The part I like best is that it is not as noisey as my old shredder. It is a bit heavy but the casters makes moving somewhat easier.
Staples shredder is easy to setup & run. The shredding is slower than I’m used to but that would be caused by the micro-cut. Machine is very efficient and quiet.
