A Must Read Review
on May 26, 2024
Posted by: Dinoqueen723
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently received the Staples 150-Sheet Micro-Cut Shredder and setting it up was a breeze. Simply plugging it in and taking advantage of the built-in wheels allowed me to effortlessly move it around my home office. With a backlog of old documents to shred this machine enabled me to tackle them all in just one day. The shredder is easy to empty and has a large paper capacity. Over the past month my husband and I have used it daily with great success. The added security of the fine shredding capability is reassuring. The only minor inconvenience I encountered was occasional jamming when attempting to shred more than 100 sheets at once. It also doesn't allow the larger shredding capacity with materials other than paper. Overall it has proven to be a highly convenient quiet and effective addition to our home office occupying minimal space and relieving us of the burden of a growing pile of papers to shred.

The Best Shredder
on May 26, 2024

[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 home or small office shredder

[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 shredder

[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!

Great shredder for home

[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!

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.

Powerful and quick shredding

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a wonderful shredder that is a real time-saver. If you have a lot of documents to shred or you are like me and end up having weeks of documents to shred at once this will shred virtually all of them into small pieces in a snap. Additionally it is powerful enough to handle thicker documents and cards as well. Sometimes my husband shreds both of our documents that we’ve accumulated at once since the bin capacity can handle it easily. Perfect for a home office or even if you just want to be extra careful and shred all things containing personal information. I thought it might be intimidating since it shreds so any sheets but it’s easy and straightforward to use. Saves us so much time and gives us peace of mind.
