Great Home shredder

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was really impressed with how simple the Staples 12-Sheet Micro-Cut Personal Shredder was to put together out of the box. It came with some cute little wheels if you need to move it around your house or office. The shredder is pretty decently sized about the size of a large office trash can. Since it is a bit larger it does have a very large bin capacity. I have been using it for a few weeks and still haven't filled up the bin. It is very quiet and I have not had any material jam the shredder yet. I have shredded multiple pages at once and an old debit card with no problems. For my small business/home office this is a great shredder.
[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.
I should have bought this thing 10 years ago. It's pretty quiet and doesn't jam all the time. I love it. I shredded 5 years worth of documents in one day. It does need to cool down if you use it a lot but it then works like new again. I love this shredder and keep it set up in my home office to use any time I need to.
Having the task of shredding multiple containers of long out-of-date paperwork I found the Staples 12 Sheet Shredder was up to the task of cross shredding my entire project without fail.
