Awesome capacity and secure document shredding
on May 26, 2024
Posted by: J.S.
from McCordsville
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shredder is a beast—it can handle a lot of paper and it shreds it into very small pieces. the four of us who have used it at the office were impressed with the speed capacity and precision of the shredding. It’s not quiet but for the size of the shredder I was impressed that the noise wasn’t nearly as loud as I expected. The shredder is very user friendly easy to setup and has a viewer that is probably to keep track of how much is in the bin but it was also fun to watch the document destruction.

Great home or small office shredder
on May 26, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shredder has been an amazing upgrade compared to our previous shredder. We have a shredder for home use (mostly confidential mail medical documents tax/income related items etc. ) and. This shredder is very quiet fast and I love the micro-cut. The top slides back to expose the shredding slot (like a safety mechanism) but my 1.5yr old figured that our instantly. That's why I love that this shredder is on wheels. We keep in it the closet in our home office and we can just roll it out to use or empty as needed. The disposal bin slides out easily to be emptied.

The Best Shredder
on May 26, 2024
Posted by: Azrkl
from Lake Mary
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is legitimately the best shredder I've ever used! The shredder was easy to set up it just needed to be plugged in! It also came with a lubricating sheet. I love that the shredding mechanism is covered when not in use especially as a mom to a toddler and cats. Also we receive a significant amount of mail that has personal information that I don't want to place into our recycling bins so I love the small shred size which helps with protecting my family's identity. It also has a large bin which allows me to empty it when I'm ready instead of needing to stop midway to dump it like other shredders I've owned. I also love that the shredder has casters so that it can be moved to different parts of our home easily so that my husband and I can shred documents as needed. I didn't know I could be so passionate about a shredder but 10/10 will shred again!

Great small office shredder
on May 26, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great option for a small office shredder. I work in a small office with 2 other people and we need to shred HIPPA documents frequently. It shreds quickly and the paper shreds are very small. It is quiet enough that it does not disturb me to shred documents while working. This shredder has a big compartment so that you can shred quite a bit and I like that there’s a small window in the bin so that you can see how full it is getting. I also like the feature of being able to push back the top to reveal the shredding part as we work with young children and that is a great safety feature. Overall this is a solid shredder for a small office.

this Thing is HEFTY
on May 26, 2024
Posted by: M.T.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My first impression upon arrival was that it was a hefty box heavy container just unnecessarily heavy. I couldn't understand why my personal paper shredder was so heavy. My previous shredder was bulky and slow I was in the market for a new one when I came upon this one. I really like it! I didn't know it was possible to have all these cool features. But most importantly I love the wheels. I love how easy it is to maneuver this power shredder around our home office. The reason I love these wheels is because how easy it was to roll it around on CARPET. I felt no resistance the wheels were smooth. The size of it seemed big initially but fit perfectly underneath the work desk. I enjoy the safety feature of the latch cover it has a sliding cover to cover the actual shredder blades when not in use. So I don't have to worry about the little kids trying to play with it because it will just look like a rectangular black box. It's discreet. Actual noise level I could hear my husband using it in the home office but sound travels well down our stairs. So I used my trusty decibel meter app and in the home office with the shredder being used the sound level read more or less 60 and just sounded like a low vaccumm humming. It wasn't obnoxiously loud like other powerful shredders of its caliber. The container was also easy to pull out and empty. I didn't feel like paper particles were getting everywhere just from opening the container.

Micro cut shredder
on May 26, 2024
Posted by: C.S.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall this shredder exceeded my expectations in terms of performance and convenience. Efficiency and Performance From the moment I started using it I was impressed with its efficiency. It handles up to 10 sheets at a time effortlessly making quick work of my document pile. The shred size is perfect for ensuring sensitive information is thoroughly destroyed leaving tiny micro-cut pieces that are impossible to piece back together. Shred Size and Bin Capacity The micro-cut shred size is a standout feature for me offering a much higher level of security than standard strip-cut or cross-cut shredders. As for the bin capacity it holds a generous amount of shredded material before needing to be emptied. This means fewer trips to the trash and more time focusing on other tasks. Placement and Convenience I keep this shredder in my home office and its compact size fits perfectly beside my desk without taking up too much space. It's convenient to have it within arm's reach whenever I need to shred documents quickly. Ease of Use Using the shredder is incredibly straightforward. The controls are intuitive and I had no trouble getting it up and running right out of the box. Even emptying the bin is a breeze thanks to its easy-to-remove design. Noise Level One of the most pleasant surprises was the noise level. Shredders can be notoriously loud but this model operates relatively quietly. It’s certainly not silent but it’s much quieter than other shredders I've used in the past making it a lot less disruptive to my work environment. In conclusion the Staples 10-Sheet Micro-Cut Personal Shredder is a fantastic investment for anyone needing a reliable efficient and secure shredder. It combines great performance with user-friendly features making it an excellent choice for both home and small office use.

Personal light use shredder for the win
on May 26, 2024
Posted by: M.B.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited to be selected to receive this shredder we accidentally broke our old one and I had a pile of confidential papers that needed to be shredded. Some of the features that I am grateful for is that it shreds the paper into micro-cuts and not strips when it’s shredding it make very little noise. You don’t have to remove the top to empty the bin of the shredder and the bin holds so much! I was so surprised when we opened it to check how much more we could keep shredding. Also the wheels are pretty handy and the cover that hides the blades. With that being said it claims that it can cut up to 20 sheets of paper at a time but ours could not do it. I was able to shred 10 pages at a time so I doubt it can cut a credit card. While trying to use it we realized you can’t just place the paper in the shredding slot because the blades wouldn’t grab it we had to give it a light push so the shredder could sense the paper and start shredding. It’s definitely for personal light use It wouldn’t be able to keep up if I had a small business.

Great shredder
on May 26, 2024
Posted by: N.V.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are obsessed with our new shredder! It was super easy to put together (wheels just snap in). I love that it has a sliding cover so little fingers don’t play with it when it’s not in use. As for the shredding it was super quiet think kids can still sleep while shredding quiet. It can take a ton of sheets at once (12 to be exact). And I love the reverse feature. So when something went in and got stuck we could reverse and restart again without having to dig pieces out. The compartment is very large and the pullout feature in the front was also really convenient for emptying it out every time we were done shredding. The 360 wheels made it really easy to put away when finished. Highly recommend!
