The master of all things shredded

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Staple 20-Sheet Micro-Cut Commercial Shredder is incredible. It is the perfect size for a small at home office and has the capacity to handle small office projects as well. It has a very deep bin for the shredded items! It is relatively quiet for a shredder and I absolutely love the peace of mind it provides when getting rid of important documents. It is simple and easy to use! If you are looking for a secure way to get rid of important documentation this is the shredder for you!!!

Turning paper into compost

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was SO excited when I received this shredder! So thrilled in fact I skipped reading the instructions and couldn't figure out how to turn it on. :) Now that I have figured out the safety features and how to turn it on I have been looking for every opportunity I can to shred! I recently got into composting and this has been such a huge help adding "brown" material to my compost! The shredder's bin holds a ton and its super easy to take it with me and dump it into the compost. The shredded paper helps to add carbon soak up any excess moisture and the tiny bits means it will breakdown even faster! I've been shredding junk mail paper grocery bags even thin cardboard! I know this machine can heat up after a while and will need a cooling off period but I haven't run into that yet probably because I have been shredding everything as I find it! The shredded results would make great basket or packaging filler or even craft supplies. If my kids found it I am sure we would have an instant party with confetti everywhere! Overall I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for a serious shredder! It is super helpful for composting and creates very satisfying confetti.

Safe and Efficient

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shredder is wonderful! It has a cover so my children cannot easily turn it on and mess with it. It is also efficient because it can do multiple pages at once and staples!! Since we only use it for personal home use the bin holds plenty and we hardly have to empty it. It is nice and quiet and extremely easy to use. Love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shredder is just the right size for my home office. It's easy to wheel around and the drawer holds a fair amount of material. I wish I had a CD to shred! It will definitely come in handy when I need to get rid of a credit card - no more bending them up into little pieces! Overall I'm really happy with this product and have invited friends and family to come over and get their shred on.

Great Shredder
on May 23, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had the opportunity to use this paper shredder and I must say it impressed me with its performance. I had no issues with overheating or jams even during extended usage. It worked efficiently and exceeded my expectations. One of the standout features for me was how seamlessly it shredded CDs without any issues. Previous shredders I've owned struggled with such tasks but this one handled it effortlessly. I also really appreciated the inclusion of a bag with the shredder. This not only made disposal much more convenient but also saved me from the hassle of transferring the shredded material into a separate bag and creating a mess. Overall this paper shredder has definitely made my shredding tasks much more manageable and efficient. I highly recommend it to anyone in need of a reliable and hassle-free shredder.

Convenient For Home
on May 23, 2024

from Phoenix
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m really happy with the Staples 10-Sheet Micro-Cut Personal Shredder! It’s super efficient and can handle up to 10 sheets at once which saves a ton of time. The micro-cut pieces are really tiny so I feel confident that my documents are completely destroyed and my information is safe. The bin is a good size too so I don’t have to empty it constantly. I keep it right by my desk and it fits perfectly without taking up too much space. The only call out is that it is a little heavy while setting up but once it's set up you're good to go! Using it is easy and straightforward - I got the hang of it quickly. One of the best parts is that it’s not too noisy. Of course you can hear it but it’s quieter than other shredders I’ve used in the past. This is a great tool for at-home use! It’s efficient easy to use and is easy to store since it's pretty small. I'd definitely recommend it to others who are looking for something convenient!

Impressive shredder
on May 23, 2024
Posted by: Andi
from Evans City
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am impressed with this shredder. Set up was simple and only involved putting caster wheels on. The instructions are clear and simple and I found the shredder very easy to use. The casters make it possible to wheel around on hard surfaces however the unit is quite top heavy (as are most shredders) so you have to push carefully or it tends to want to topple over. Noise level was likely as good as a shredder can be I shred with noise cancelling headphones in and it was very quiet. With the headphones off the noise level is tolerable however talking would be difficult. I was impressed with the shredding capabilities it can certainly handle 10 pages had no problems with staples and even tackled 8 pages inside of a folder! The shreds are tiny no one would be able to piece any of the documents back together at most I saw 1 maybe 2 letters together on a shred no full words. It claims to have a 5 minute run time however I felt it shredded for longer before the temperature indicator lit up. Since I am going through stacks of papers I need to shred I was doing long bursts of shredding rather than a page here and there. When I ran the machine constantly until the temperature indicator came on and the machine turned off I was able to shred 2-inch stacks of paper each go very impressive. For comparison my last machine would overheat after 30 pages or less. The shredder is slightly bigger than I expected but this turned out to be a good thing as I don’t have to empty the shreds as often as I did with my last shredder. The shredder is still small enough to store under my desk when not in use. I included a photo with a bankers box for scale. The only negative for me and the reason I could not give it 5 stars is that the unit does not have any childproof lock or some way to leave the machine plugged in but safe for children to be around. The machine turns on as soon as you slide back the top cover and the top cover is very easy to slide and it would be very easy for tiny fingers to find their way in. This means I have to unplug the machine after each use to ensure my toddler does not wander into the office find it and accidentally turn it on. This is fine for my shredding purposes but would make quick shredding of a page here or there rather annoying having to plug in and unplug frequently. Overall great shredder nice design easy to use and definitely shreds documents securely!

Great product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm so happy with this shredder! It is sleek modern powerful efficient and just the right size for my home office. You can easily shred 10 pages at once without overwhelming and jamming the shredder. The bin capacity is just right for capturing a large quantity of shredded items while still being a managable size to empty. The window into the bin is convenient so you can see when it's time to empty it. This shredder is easy to use and isn't loud like larger shredders can be. The mini wheels are simple to install and allow for easy maneuvering of the shredder. A surprise bonus is the smart window handle design for ease of emptying. I highly recommend this product!
