Powerful Micro Cut Shredder

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Staples Micro-cut Shredder has been the best addition to our small office. We have boxes of documents that need to be shredded every month and this machine has made that task so much easier. For starters it was very easy to use right out of the box. You can shred 20 pages at a time and it is super-fast. We have also shredded CD's and it is just as quick. The machine is a workhorse! The shredder has a safety slide top which is such a great feature. It also gives you a warning when it is time to empty the bin or if it is overheating. It produces micro-cut pieces for both paper and the CD's. This is a peace of mind when shredding confidential documents. We can shred stacks of papers and the bin size is large it does not need to be emptied each time. This is my favorite piece of office equipment and we no longer have to pay for a shredding service which is a bonus.

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.

Great home or small office shredder
on May 26, 2024

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.

Great Home shredder
on May 26, 2024

[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.

Great shredder for home

from Los Angeles
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had been on the hunt for a shredder to use at home and I’ve been impressed with the Micro-Cut Shredder! It handled multiple sheets without jamming even when I used it nonstop. The micro-cut feature produces very small pieces which puts my mind at ease when it comes to security. It lasted a long time before needing a break due to overheating and the generous bin size accommodates a substantial amount of paper reducing the hassle of frequent emptying. It was much quieter than I’d expected it to be as well even when handling multiple sheets. Almost perfect—just wish it could last longer before overheating but overall a great shredder that helped me get rid of my “to shred” pile!

Excellent Shredder
on May 25, 2024

from Sacramento
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love this shredder! Would highly recommend for anyone looking for an at home shredder. Pros: It is very quiet I am able to shred documents while my baby sleeps in the next room. It cuts everything so tiny I have zero worry anyone could get important information from it. I love that it is on wheels so I can store it under my desk and easily pull it out when I need to shred. It has an easy empty bin that you don’t have to lift the heavy shredding part off to empty. It shreds 10 pieces of paper at a time and can shred cards. Cons: it has a 5 minute run time before needing to rest. This has never been an issue for me however could be if it is for business use. Because of this I recommend it for personal at home use only.

Great Basic Shredder
on May 25, 2024
Posted by: C.G.
from Chicago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a perfect basic light-duty shredder. It is well-constructed and relatively solid. It has a nice feature on the top of the shredder—there is a 'sliding' top that you have to slide to shred anything. When it is closed nothing can fall into the shredder accidentally. It is an efficient machine and the shred size is tiny so you don't have to empty it often (if you are using it a few times a day) maybe once per week. The bin capacity is large which is another feature I like. This model shreds up to ten sheets at once which is the perfect size for my office. I have a home office and keep the shredder beside my desk. It is a very easy machine to use. You slide the top and it is ready to use. It shuts off automatically after approximately five minutes. There is an on/off button if you prefer to use it that way but I find the slide top works great for me. This machine is just a bit noisy. However I wouldn't say this is a dealbreaker because it is reasonably priced and an excellent-performing machine.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently recieved a staples 150 micro cut shredder and I can’t begin to tell you how impressed I am with this machine. To add a little backstory I was the victim of identity theft a few weeks after I caught someone rummaging around my garbage can stealing my garbage. So I needed a machine that would shred my documents into small unreadable pieces. I started with another model but was not Impressed with the shred size so I had to upgrade to the staples 150 shredder. Since the change all my worries of having someone put the pieces together & get the information has subsided bc the shred size is so small it wouldnt be possible. The Staples 150 micro shredder is powerful enough to easily handle a full families demands as I have 5 members in my famlily who use the shredder. The bin size is proportionate for a family of 5s waste & could easily handle a few more members if need be. The shredders small enough to keep in the office beside the desk withoufjt bringing any attention to itself. The speed of other shredders pale in comparison to the staples 150 cut. It offers power and speeds that are rarely needed but always wanted. For these reasons I love this shredder & I highly recommend you just spend the money to get the best & the staples 150 micro cut shredder is by far the best I’ve ever worked with.
