Okay paper cutter
on May 27, 2024
Posted by: Micronerd
from Columbus
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] On its inaugural paper shredding run the button to reverse came loose and fell into the casing. I was unable to pull it back out without potentially taking it all apart so really limited my use of this shredder to avoid any safety issues with this butting floating around. It shredded fine but with the first time running it and having something fall off really biased my entire experience with it and the longevity of this paper shredder. It might have been a fluke or something happened during shipping as the other button seemed fine.

Staples 150 Sheet Micro Cut Shredder Review
on May 27, 2024
Posted by: Midwest dad
from Sandusky
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are small business in the construction industry we do not have a lot to shred but things we need to shred we want to be sure are securely destroyed. I was impressed on how well it shreds multiple sheets and how fine the cross-shreds are when its done. It does not leave much to worry about! The capacity was perfect for our use our previous shredder was smaller and less powerful so this was a huge upgrade for us! Unless you plan on shredding a lot you will not fill the bin in one use plenty of room for multiple shreds! I think the product is very user friendly and took no setup straight out of the box. Our office is about 10 people and I did not hear any complaints All in all a great product we will hang on to!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The feeder is the best part of this shredder. I had no issues with jamming and people don't have to sit and watch its progress. The bin capacity is more than large enough too. The setup was simple I didn't even have to read the instructions or teach everyone in the office how to use it their first time. It can be tucked under a desk easily and is out of the way. Overall it is a simple machine that does its job well and doesn't feel like it is going to break right away what else do you need!

Wish I could give this a million stars

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am obsessed with this shredder!! It fits directly under my home desk and has multiple points to turn on the power so I know it is safe and my son will not be able to get into it! This is the most secure shredder I have seen! It cuts the paper into tiny tiny pieces and makes me feel at ease knowing it is shredded into more than just strips! It is awesome how many pieces it can shred at one time and it is more than my family would ever need at one time but this shredder makes shredding so much fun! Before getting this product just my husband and I shredded thi bf s but now my entire family brings things to my house to be securely shredded!! I love this product!!

Heavy duty high capacity shredder
on May 27, 2024
Posted by: A.G.
from Edgewood
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very nice and well made shredder. It easily cut through the paper and cards that I put through it. The bin is huge! It holds so much paper. You can shred tons before you have to empty it. The bin tips out making it easy to empty. The shredder is in my bedroom and rolls easily out of the way when it wasn't being used. It has a great safety feature that requires you to slide the lid back to use it. It is clearly marked where you place cards and discs if you want to shred those. It is actually not very loud. It definitely isn't any louder than others shredders I have used before. I really enjoyed using this machine. My only complaint is that the lid is very heavy. If you are in the market for a shredder I highly recommend it.

I Did Not Know That I Needed This

from Benicia
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My days of lugging large boxes of paper to be shredded to an offsite location are over! As a real estate broker I have a LOT of paperwork with sensitive client information. This Staples 20 sheet microcut machine solves the issue of protecting my client's privacy. The bin holds a large amount of finished shreds and takes up to 20 sheets at a time. It didn't overheat even when it was run for almost 30 minutes continuosly. Since this machine is supposed to munch CDs and credit cards I tried with both. No problems as long as a single CD or credit card is inserted at a time. The machine is fairly compact and very light and easy to move around. One more bonus: The top needs to slide back to reveal the paper feed. Sliding the top back also powers the unit on when the off/on switch is pressed. This is an excellent feature for a home office as I have two small children who might be tempted to turn on a machine and insert "things that should not be inserted"! They would not be able to figure out how to slide the top back so accidents are thankfully avoided.

Love this shredder
on May 27, 2024
Posted by: Elle K
from Washington
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I didn't know I could be so excited by a paper shredder until using this shredder! It easily takes over 10 sheets staples and all and shreds it into small pieces. I have never had an issue with it jamming up. The cross shredding ability is also amazing both for privacy and it makes everything so small that the bin doesn't fill quickly. When it does fill I just love how the bin easily pulls out to be emptied with no mess. It was easy to assemble simple to operate and is very quiet. I truly can't say enough wonderful things about this shredder - my husband and I just love it.

Extremely disappointed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was extremely disappointed in this shredder. Upon putting it together I realized that the casters on the bottom are too small to actually roll it without tipping over since it is top-heavy; so I’d recommend putting it together where you plan to keep it. It was easy to use and the bin size is decent but it kept over heating and would turn off so I’d have to wait to continue the job. The noise level was about the same as other shredders and is loud enough that you’d have to shout to be heard. Overall if I had paid for the shredder I would be returning it. I’ve had other shredders that performed better without overheating or being top-heavy. This might work for the random shred here and there but if you need to shred more than 10 pages at a time back to back for even 5 minutes then this is not the shredder for you.
