Customer Reviews for Staples - 12-Sheet Micro-Cut Multi-Media Shredder - Black

Had my last Mailmate shredder for 6 years. So far it's only been a week seems ok. Don't know why though when I turn it on it actually makes noise like its shredding then stops. Other unit didn't do that....It just turned on and only ran when I started to input paper. Guess it's kind of annoying. Why they change this? So far it works ok. The shredding is tiny good...it's a bit harder due to the width of the take out drawer to get the contents into my home garbage can I take it out by handful so nothing spills onto the floor. A bit inconvenient....not like my old one. Shape has changed a bit. Works ok like I said.

So Far So Good. will see how it holds up. Disappointed that the Bin capacity is less than my 10-sheet shredder that this replaced.

Nice small desktop shredder. Use it for daily junk mail-I only put one piece through at a time to be sure no jamming. I think its pretty quiet and live the “confetti-like” micro cut pieces! I also prefer a basket that pulls out instead of having to lift the heavy top off and figure out where to put it while emptying basket. Can’t be more pleased-delivered next day-very happy! Thank you Staples!

Finding a small sized paper shredder was a difficult task. Most shredder are big. I needed a small one for on top of my desk to replace my very old one that finally gave out. This shredded was perfect. It even handles more than my old one. I love that it is black and that it is small. I am very happy with this little shredder!!!

Does a great job without breaking the bank. My only complaint is that it is short and I have to put it up on the desk to comfortably sure. Outside of that it’s great.

I like the fact that this is small and fits neatly under most desks but it is an annoyance that the drawer will only hold an fraction of it's capacity before the red light goes off and the shredder refuses to work forcing emptying of the container. I found myself having to empty the container every few sheets of paper. I've used other shredders which allowed much more uninterrupted activity. To its advantage the shredder is quiet but at the price point it's not a great value.

I would definitely recommend this product. once shredded. The pieces are unrecognizable it’s small compact and works very well.

My old shredder of many years finally quite on me so I purchased this one because of its small size good capacity and reasonable price. I couldn’t be happier - it works great is VERY quiet and fits nicely just about anywhere. I’ve only had it a few days but I expect it’ll have a good long life.
