Super shredder

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This 20-sheet micro-cut shredder runs very quiet and is simple to set up. The instructions are really simple and only basic steps are needed to start using this shredder. Make sure to use the shredder lubricant sheet to lubricate the blades so it performs like it should. There is one included but make sure you continue to use the lubricant sheets at least twice a month. This shredder shreds paper into very small pieces and the paper just glides in easily. Having wheels on it allows me to roll it around as needed. This way I can place it where I need it or store it under my desk when I don't have to use it for a while. The features are quite nice. With a straight feed it's nice to know they thought of little fingers that might go into the chute thereby detecting and stopping the shredder immediately at the slightest touch. I run our small business in our home and have small children also so this is a wonderful feature to have. I always supervise my children and they usually don't go in my office but I really think this is a needed feature. There are plenty of status lights that let the operator know what's going on during operation. There is overheat protection overload protection and jam protection. The wastebasket is very large and holds a lot so I don't have to dump it often. It slides out and slides back easily so I have no issues dumping the shreds. The window allows you to see plus the wastebasket full indicator will make sure you know when it needs dumped. And if it matters much it has a nice modern appearance and looks appealing. I am very pleased with this shredder and if you have a small business or just need to shred personal documents credit cards CDs and DVDs then this is a great one to get.

Quiet and Efficient
on May 22, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have this sitting right by my desk. It is so easy to just reach over and shred. It’s definitely a plus that it’s so quiet. It’s relieving to know that all of my important papers that have my personal information will be macerated by this incredible shredder. It cuts up the papers to a fine piece. It holds a lot of shredding because it chops them up so fine. I have no worries that anyone could possibly get my information. It has sturdy wheels that roll it around. A convenient window on the front to show how full it is. I would give it an A+ Rating.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like everyone have sensitive materials/mail that gets sent to my home that need shred or destroyed so no one gets my information I also work for a preschool as a PK4 teacher where I have to review full names and addresses etc with kids. In order to keep information private I needed a quality dependable micro cut shredder and this one did the trick! I loved how it wasn’t blaringly loud or obnoxious when shredding documents. It fit perfectly into my home office and was easily transferred to my preschool for my classroom use as well. The bin size was the perfect size for the product as it wasn’t too big or too small. It was easily removed and cleaned out with no issue. I did not experience any paper jams or issues when shredding the 10 page max. Overall this a quality shredder for a more affordable price than competitors. Thank you stellar panel for sending me this shredder!

Awesome Commercial Paper Shredder
on May 22, 2024

from Broadview Heights
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Staples 20-Sheet Micro-Cut Commercial Shredder is an awesome paper shredder. My overall impression of this shredder is that it is very well made and efficient. It is capable of 20 sheets of paper at one time. I have used it to it's full capacity and it did not disappoint. This commercial shredder was used by two people in a home office where we do a lot of shredding. The document and bin capacity was sufficient for it's purpose. The shred size was excellent. The shredder was very easy to use and set up. I am highly satisfied with this shredder. In addition I highly recommend this product for all your paper shredding needs especially if you run a business.

Just what I needed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shredder is awesome!! The shredder was super easy to unbox plug in and set up. I was confused at first how you get the shredder to work but all you do is slide back the tab on the top and that will turn the shredder on. That part is nice because you can keep this around children without the worry of them getting hurt. The best part about this shredder is that it can not only shred paper but also shred old CDs!! Like what?? That is great. I have to say I have not tried shredding anything other than paper yet but the fact it is that strong is awesome. The other thing I love is how quiet this shredder is. It does have a sound but it is by no means loud like my old one. The bin for the shredder is huge and holds just enough! I keep this shredder in my office where the whole office can use it. I would recommend anyone to buy this! Just do it!!

A bit slow but perfect for tight spaces

from Manhattan
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got tired of cutting bank statements into tiny pieces and when I’d go to recycle it would make a big mess. Of course a shredder would be ideal but I honestly didn’t think I’d find space for it in my NYC apartment. This shredder however is perfect. It’s slim and sleek. It’s about the size of an 8 gallon trash bin and placed sideways against the wall it takes up little wall space. I love that it has casters which enables this shredder to glide across the floor without having to lift it. It was extremely easy to set up. Took me all of 5 minutes. The bin is quite spacious and it’s still not full. There is a viewing window so you know when it’s time to empty. I’ve been shredding bank statements (of course!) other sensitive information and even credit cards. The shredder handled it all like a champ. Not one jam yet. It is a bit noisy and slow but all shredders are noisy. As far as speed - it’s worth it for the smaller size. I also love that you just slide the top to turn it on. It feels high tech and is also convenient.

Outstanding Performance

from Tomball
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is hands down the best shredder I’ve owned. I actually was in the market to replace my current shredder when I received this one and I had no idea what I was missing. Let me start with how easy it was to assemble you just pop the wheels on and then the top and it’s ready. I keep my shredder in my pantry because I open all of my mail in my kitchen so it was convenient. It fits perfectly where I ended to keep it! The bin is absolutely amazing and holds quite a bit of paper. The first thing I tried was about 10 sheets of medical papers I needed shredded and it handled it beautifully. The motor is so quiet compared to what I was expecting from this size of machine. I love how you slide the top over to reveal the shredder and slide it back to turn it off. This makes me feel comfortable for my curious 3 year old’s fingers. I love the simple yet sleek design and look as well. There’s not a thing I would change about this shredder and I’d recommend it to anyone.

Love the automatic feeder
on May 22, 2024
Posted by: K.D.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We deal with a lot of confidential documents at home and our new 12 sheets shredder with the 150 pages autofeed has been a huge help to dispose of the documents. The unit is very easy to use and was ready out of the box. There are 2 power buttons for extra safety. I have shredded thousands of pages in the past few weeks and have not encountered a single jam so far. All in all I am very pleased with this shredder. It is easy to use the auto feeder saves me a lot of time and best of all I can run it for 20-30 minutes without having to let the shredder rest. This one is getting a 5 stars rating from me.
