DOA but such a great option list

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This had literally EVERYTHING I could ask for in a shredder. P4 shred level (HIPPA requirement) 100+ page shred count micro cut chew through paper clips basically anything I could throw at it AND $100 less than the closest competitor!! Sadly I could not get the unit to power on upon arrival. I am hoping to get the unit swapped out as this is an amazing deal for what it can do. I can already tell the bin will need to be emptied more often than I'd like but I'll take it at this price point.

Excellent Shredder

[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.

[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.

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!

Perfect for home office

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was able to test out the Staples 12 Sheet Micro Cut Shredder. This is a huge upgrade from the 5-sheet shredder I had. Out of the box there is minimal setup required. The wheels need to be attached at the bottom and the lid placed onto the top of the shredder canister. What I like is that this is a micro-cut shredder. I’ve never owned one before and the micro-cutting feature is nice so I don’t have to worry about someone piecing together sensitive information. To start shredding one would have to slide the top back and it will be ready to shred. The shredder motor starts on and there is a blue light indicating that. I would have liked to see an on/off button implemented into the shredder after you open the lid for more safety. There are also two accessible buttons to bring the paper back up or down in case there is a jam. There are wheels for easy mobility and it is easy to take to another room. The capacity is a whopping 5 gallons and there is a clear window where you can see the shredded material. Overall a good shredder with a large capacity that can handle several pages at a time. Credit cards shred with no difficulty. Good for personal home use or someone who may work from home.

Excellent Shredder

[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!!

Efficiency on Wheels

[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.
