Great Home shredder
on May 26, 2024
Posted by: C.M.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was really impressed with how simple the Staples 12-Sheet Micro-Cut Personal Shredder was to put together out of the box. It came with some cute little wheels if you need to move it around your house or office. The shredder is pretty decently sized about the size of a large office trash can. Since it is a bit larger it does have a very large bin capacity. I have been using it for a few weeks and still haven't filled up the bin. It is very quiet and I have not had any material jam the shredder yet. I have shredded multiple pages at once and an old debit card with no problems. For my small business/home office this is a great shredder.

Awesome capacity and secure document shredding
on May 26, 2024

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 small office shredder

[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.

Effective micro cuts and works quickly

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What was your overall impression of this shredder? How efficient was it? What did you think of the document and bin capacity? How many people used this shredder? Where did you keep it? How easy was it to use? What did you think of the shred size? I received this Staples brand 150 sheet micro cut shredder and immediately started using it. My husband is adamant that we do not throw away anything that has our names and address on it. He usually saves it up and burns it but spring in the desert means high winds and high fire danger so no burning. This shredder arrived just in time! I had an old box full of mail and magazines that needed to go away! This shredder handled everything we threw at it. We put through regular mail magazines that we ripped apart plastic cards about the thickness of credit cards and pretty much anything else that we could find. We literally sat in our kitchen (which is where we unboxed the shredder and found the nearest plug) for two hours and got rid of our burn box and whatever else we could find. We had one problem when we first put in a magazine and it was just too thick. It jammed up about a quarter of the way in. We were able to reverse it and pull the magazine out. From there we ripped the magazine apart into smaller sections and it went through just fine. The issue was resolved quickly. The only other issue I had was that we struggled to get it to turn on when we needed it another time. It turns out that the center piece that you would lift up to clear a jam was not fully in place and the machine would not turn on because of that. Once it was snapped back into it's correct spot the machine would power on. I would have preferred that the machine still power on but give me some type of error or other hint as to what could fix the problem instead of making me spend 10 minutes fiddling with everything else before we figured it out.

The Best Shredder I Have Ever Used
on May 26, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am absolutely blown away by this Staples 20-page paper shredder! As someone who handles a significant amount of paperwork for work and has a personal stash at home I can confidently say that this shredder is a game-changer. It's a phenomenal piece of machinery that has taken the hassle out of shredding making it a breeze to dispose of sensitive documents and personal papers. What truly sets this shredder apart is its incredible versatility. It can shred not only standard papers but also paperclips and even standard staples! This is a huge plus for me as I used to spend so much time carefully removing these items from files before shredding them. With this shredder I can simply toss the papers in and let it do the work. I love that it shreds credit cards too! The bin is enormous holding a staggering amount of shredded material. And the best part? The shredder does such an amazing job that the remnants are basically confetti-like in their fineness. I feel confident shredding and forgetting about it knowing that my sensitive documents are securely disposed of. I'm also impressed by the sleek black design and the fact that it's easy to roll around. This is a huge bonus for office environments where multiple people may need to access the shredder but can't each have their own. It's compact yet powerful making it a valuable addition to any workspace. In contrast my previous paper shredder was a constant source of frustration. It would either get clogged or the bin would fill up too quickly forcing me to resort to just tear papers by hand. But with this shredder I've never had to deal with those issues. It's reliable efficient and has made my life so much easier. In fact I'm so impressed with this shredder that I'm now wanting atleast one for my home use and have recommend it to my coworkers and family. I highly recommend it!

AAMMAAZIINNGG I love getting junk mail now

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a working professional with a bustling household of four including an elderly family member with extensive medical paperwork receiving this efficient shredder was paramount. I am pleased to say that the shredder I acquired surpassed all expectations!! Junk mail and sensitive documents have never been more fun to get rid of! First and foremost the initial impression was wow gorgeous! its sleek design blended seamlessly into my office space but its weightiness instilled confidence in its durability. Careful a little heavy but for good reason. The efficiency was unparalleled; it devoured documents with ease handling even the thickest stacks without a hiccup. I did get one stack stuck but that’s because I overloaded it. Anything else it’s shred through seamlessly! The document and bin capacity were beyond satisfactory alleviating the need for frequent emptying. My old shredder was so frustrating to use because I was constantly emptying it. This one doesn’t give me an issue. My old one also shred in linear formation which I felt was not safe or effective. This shredder shreds in tiny pieces. The small shred size provided a sense of security ensuring sensitive information was thoroughly destroyed. Both myself and my five-year-old son utilized the shredder effortlessly under supervision of course. It found its place in a special cabinet in my office alongside my printer perfectly complementing my workspace. In conclusion this shredder proved to be a reliable asset to my professional and household needs offering efficiency ample capacity ease of use and enhanced security.

Great home or small office shredder
on May 26, 2024
Posted by: Astrid
from San Jose
[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.
