Compact and efficient shredder
on May 26, 2024
Posted by: jackinthecrack

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been really impressed with this personal shredder since adding it to my home office. It’s compact easy to use can shred 12 pieces of paper at a time and has wheels for easy mobility. I appreciate how the micro-cut feature thoroughly destroys documents providing excellent security. The shredder has a 5-gallon capacity bin which holds a substantial amount of shredded paper before needing to be emptied. Since it’s a pull-out bin emptying it is very convenient. I keep this shredder in a corner of my home office where its compact size fits nicely without taking up too much space. This shredder is very user-friendly and extremely easy to operate. It’s also quieter than many other shredders I've used. My favorite feature is the wheels which make moving the shredder around easy and convenient. This is a great shredder for a home office and I am very satisfied with its performance and ease of use.

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!

Powerful Micro Cut Shredder

from Port Charlotte
[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.

Perfect For Small Business Use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall Impressions and Efficiency: After using this 12-sheet capacity shredder in my home office I must say it performs admirably. Compared to my 15-year-old shredder it has similar speed and performance efficiently handling multiple sheets at once without a hitch. This consistency in speed and functionality was impressive. Bin Capacity: The bin capacity of this shredder is more than sufficient for regular home office use. The fine shred it produces can be easily compacted allowing for extended use without frequent emptying. This is a significant improvement over older models that often required more frequent maintenance. Placement and Ease of Use: I kept this shredder in my home office and its compact size fits perfectly without taking up too much space. It's very easy to use with straightforward controls and minimal setup required. The design is user-friendly ensuring that even those who are not particularly tech-savvy can operate it with ease. Noise Level: Regarding noise while it’s not whisper-quiet the shredder's sound level is more than acceptable. It's quieter than a vacuum cleaner and I found it comfortable enough to use without ear protection (unlike when I vacuum). For those particularly sensitive to noise using earplugs might be beneficial but in my experience it's not necessary. Overall this shredder meets all my expectations for a home office environment combining efficiency capacity and ease of use into a compact and reliable device.

Great personal shredder
on May 25, 2024
Posted by: G.P.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is a shredders dream. The machine itself is a bit heavy but also very sleek modern looking and most importantly durable. Set up was simple and I didn’t have any issues with paper jamming. I shredded 8-10 sheets at a time with ease. The container that holds the shredded elements is big enough that you don’t have to empty it constantly (I’ve shred almost 300 documents without having to empty - you can see how full it’s getting from the small window in the front which is a plus). It’s compact so fits nicely in a small space near my workspace. The shredder is not very loud which is a definite plus. . I am very pleased with the overall efficiency of this product and would highly recommend it.

Staples Shredder

from Ludington
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am delighted and impressed with this product. It was easily assembled and the instructions are simple. I tested it with a thick grocery bag folded up and it shredded it with ease. The shredder is quiet and has nice features such as casters a window in the bin and automatic start up and turn off. I will be using this product primarily at home for private documents but will also use it for unneeded paperwork from my classroom.

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.

Definite upgrade

from Hampstead
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Staples 20 Sheet paper shredder was a fantastic upgrade for my home office. My old shredder was only a 12 sheet and would struggle compared to the Staples 20 Sheet. The unit is heavier and only slightly larger in overall size but the increase in power and how fine the material is shredded is well worth it. This shredded will remain a key piece of my home office.
