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.

Definite upgrade

[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.

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.

[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.

Good office basic

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.

[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!

Awesome Quite Shedder

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Staples 20-Sheet Micro-Cut Commercial Shredder is AWESOME!!. I must say this shredder works perfect shreds 20 sheets all at one time and can go for at least 20 minutes of run time. This shredder can also shred more than paper it shreds small paper clips credit cards staples cds and dvds. Its very quiet when running. What I do like is the bag management no mess at all shreds go right into the plastic bag when full all you do is put a tie around it and that is it. Also this shedder shreds so fine that no criminal would ever find out your peronal info. I have the Staples shredder lubricant and will put it into the paper feed entrance about twice a month so my shredder works exactly the way I want it too. Nicely made with a sleek design. This shredder comes with a 1 year manufacturer limited warranty. I totally recommend Staples 20-Sheet Micro-Cut Commercial Shredder to everyone. I use this daily for my personal in home office to keep all my info shedded.

Efficiency on Wheels
on May 25, 2024
Posted by: A.C.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My need for a shredder as an educator has grown over the years. I was apprehensive as every shredder I have used in the past was bulky loud and difficult. Hello Staples! This shredder is a completely different breed and major upgrade from anything I had used before. Packaged so securely we struggled to get it out of the box. Easy set up instructions (my 11 yr old read them out to me) and a smooth assembly process. This is not a loud machine! It is small enough that it fits comfortably under my desk and get this IT WHEELS BACK OUT WHEN I NEED IT!!! It’s on wheels! Genius. I love this. It works exactly as advertised and I will take care of this to ensure it works for a long future of shredding.
