[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I come from the position of an at home office job where I do not have to print excessive paper or possess sensitive information but I do have concern for my own sensitive information-and my family’s. Using the shredder was incredibly simple step one turn on the switch step two insert paper and watch it get eaten. It did truly eat 12 sheets no problem! It’s a very sleek design doesn’t look too different with the remaining office set up. I took an office call while it was running and had no issues being understood even when it was at my feet. Given my perspective having to plug in this additional machine is not the most convenient option however only plugging it in when needed is an option if that is your concern as well. The storage bin is easy to remove and doesn’t require emptying that often. My guess is every 100 sheets if you do them individually. Overall this mail mate shredder is a great option. Quiet efficient modern design.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] i think this shredder is just right. It’s a nice size pretty compact and does not take up too much room perfect for at home use. I actually keep mine in my living room right beside the couch since it has such a small footprint. It also gets the job and stores the shredded bits in a convenient bin that you can empty at your leisure. For me the bin holds quite a bit for its size just don’t let it get too full or the shredded bits will get everywhere when emptying. Not a major issue just simply monitor how full the bin gets and just empty it a reasonable point. This shredder works quickly quietly and also gives me peace of mind when I throw out my mail since it is is a cross-cut shredder. So much better than the old rip-with-your-hands method and I am certainly not the type to sit with a marker and cross out all my sensitive information. Peace of mind is a big deal and this shredder gives me that without making it feel like a hassle or a chore. Keep in mind it’s not a high volume shredder so don’t get crazy. This is a sleek compact at-home/home office shredder.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Listen: I know it's probably silly to be excited about a shredder but I LOVE this shredder. I've borrowed and used other paper shredders in the past and their bulk and loudness kept me from getting my own. This shredder on the other hand is delightfully compact and surprisingly quiet. I'm able to comfortably keep mine under my desk (don't tell anyone but it also safely makes for a great footrest when not in use). I also cannot overemphasize how quiet this machine is. My fiancé came into the room and was surprised to learn I was using the shredder--he didn't know I was using it until he physically saw me using it. This happened not once but TWICE. If that's not a sell on how quiet this machine is I'm not sure what is. As a P-4 shredder I've been satisfied with the size of the shreds--I feel comfortable that my documents have been shredded in a way where my information is protected. This includes both sensitive documents and credit cards. The bin size is good too. Like other shredders the paper can shred in a pile centered under the shredder itself which means a good shake to distribute the shreds once in a while is a good idea. The shredder has a 12-page per shredding capacity and when tested this remained true. I tested it by shredding more than that limit as well--it has a little wiggle-room though I did end up jamming it once. Unjamming it was also easier than anticipated. Absolutely love this shredder and will continue to use it as long as possible. If you're thinking about getting this product do it! You'll be happy with your choice. (please forgive the hair and rogue paper pieces--this machine does produce some amount of static cling
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I thought the shredder was great for the junk mail that I receive. I’m always very wary of my information ending up in the trash especially things like credit card offers. The shredder was the perfect size for keeping in my kitchen and just shredding all of the junk that comes in. I think it’s a little bit too small to be used for any other purpose the bin capacity just is not large enough to me for anything besides mail. I did find I needed to empty it pretty frequently. I definitely did feel that it shredded everything small enough it was not super loud and absolutely served my purposes. It is great if you have a smaller home like I do!
