Excellent Shredder
on May 25, 2024
Posted by: J.C.
from West Chester
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The shredder is excellent! It truly handles up to 12 pieces of paper at one time. I have another shredder that says it handles 8 pieces at a time but it seems to struggle with 5. I love that it microcuts the paper for added security. It also does not overheat easily. I’ve shredded enough paper to fill the container over halfway full in one sitting and it never overheated. I also love that has wheels to move it wherever it’s needed.

Does it all

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I never knew how much I needed a shredder in my life until this bad boy arrived at my doorstep. Holy cow! I was keeping stacks of papers credit cards etc to shred and this thing stood up to the test of my procrastination. It was able to shred large stacks of paper all at once credit cards even laminated sheets of paper. The bin capacity was great and I only had to empty it once through this endeavor. My husband and I run a business and I was able to tackle most of what is needed with this shredder. We keep it in our home office with no issues. The paper shreds were so so tiny! It was perfect and I’m so excited to use this baby again!!

Love the wheels

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Staples 20-sheet Micro-Cut Commercial Shredder is impressively easy to use. Being a stay-at-home mom and running a small business from home we use a shredder a few times a month. At first glance it is apparent that this shredder is built to be very sturdy and heavy-duty. Another great first impression of this shredder came from the wheels making it mobile and easy to move around my home office and store under the counter out of the way when not in use! I love this feature as I don’t have a permanent place to store it. Having kids we have also loved the safety feature of the sliding top cover to ensure that little hands or unnecessary items get into the paper feed entry slot. When using the shredder it showed to be very efficient and easy to use. I was impressed by how many documents it could handle at one time while also being able to shred things like credit cards it does the job of a commercial heavy-duty shredder without taking up space or looking like a commercial heavy-duty shredder. After shredding the bin capacity was very convenient holding enough that we didn’t have to continuously empty it. Overall I have been very happy with how this shredder has handled some of my shredding jobs. So far I haven't noticed any cons. I’m excited to use this come tax season and would recommend it to anyone looking for an upgrade!

Good office basic
on May 25, 2024

from Mesa
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first shredder. I missed a "quick start guide " but it really only took two minutes to set up and read the instructions out of the box. Within minutes I was able to shred 850 workbook pages. It easily shredded the laminated cardstock cover and the itty bitty pieces are so minuscule I'm confident that my sensitive documents would be safely shredded. The 850 pages did basically fill up the bin so if I were shredding for the 20 minute maximum I'd have to have a larger garbage handy. It's smaller enough and clean-looking: I would eventually slide it under my office desk easily but for now it stays in my broom closet (away from curious toddler hands). I do wish it had a place to grip at the safety slide top and an extra safety feature to be more childproof. All in all it covers my checklist for home/family shredding.

Great personal shredder

from Ocean Isle Beach
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great shredder to have in a home office or for personal use. Great size bin capacity to get a lot done before worrying about emptying! Very simple to use and easy to operate pretty much just plug in and shred. Wasn’t too loud but wasn’t the quietest either I would compare it to the noise level of a small vacuum. Overall we liked it and helped us safely shred some documents.

Shredder for in home use

from Matthews
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Staples 10-Sheet Micro-Cut Personal Shredder as an incentive to review the product. Overall I am impressed with the quality of the machine. The ability to shred 10 pieces of paper or mail is very efficient. The mechanical crosscut shredder part appears very stout and sharp. The bin capacity is more than adequate. I can shred a whole stack of papers in just a few minutes and not completely fill the bin. It was easy to pull from the box easy to set up and easy to operate. I like the feature that covers the shredder opening when I am not using it. I keep the shredder next to my desk in my office and it fits perfectly. It has wheels that allow me to move it across the room to the printer. I like that it is not too loud. I also like that when you overwhelm the feeder you can easily unblock it by reversing the direction of the shredder.

Perfect for home office

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great shredder! Easy to set up and easy to use overall great machine. It’s a bit on the heavier side so I appreciate that it came with wheels. Cuts like a dream micro cuts are the way to go! I can shred tons of papers and cards before I have to dump the basket out because it cuts everything so small and efficiently. I appreciate that the basket opens in the front for easy disposal I although I wish it had a handle for easier opening and closing. A neat feature I really like is that there is a cover that covers the slot/blades when not in use. And the cover is the on/off switch which is convenient and I feel safe having in the home with a curious toddler in the house. Last but not least the sound isn’t all that loud even when shredding credit cards. I have a sound sensitive toddler and he didn’t mind the noise at all. Definitely recommend!
