Great hardworking paper shredder

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently started a new job working from home and needed a shredder to properly destroy any sensitive information. As soon as I received this shredder I had a stack of papers close several feet tall that needed to be shredded. I was able to feed multiple pages through at the same time. Both the manual and automatic feed worked great and I didn't experience any jams or overheating. The bin was pretty good sized and I was able to shred a lot of paper before needing to empty it. A nice feature is that the shredder stops when the bin is near full so you don't need to worry about overflowing. I would definitely recommend.

Compact and efficient shredder

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The shredder was overall an easy and efficient user experience. Set up was very easy and the user guide was concise and easy to read (later note-might be worth adding more information to the guide about staples). I was able to shred a large stack of papers in less than 10 minutes especially since this shredder allows up to 12 pages at a time. I was unsure based on the instruction guide if staples were allowed so that took some extra time to remove prior to shredding. The bin capacity was overall good but I did pause part of the way through to press it down to not clog up the blades. One critique is that the lid with the blades is very heavy. When I opened it to press the paper down the paper stuck to the blades fell off and made a bit of a mess. Just a note to handle with care since it is heavy and can get messy and hard to handle if you let it get too full. I did appreciate the bucket viewing window to be able to see the fill level as well! While I do not expect a shredder to be silent this one was a little noisy especially with larger stacks of paper at a time. Since the shredder comes apart we are able to store it easily until we need it since we don’t typically need to shred items daily. Overall it seems like a good quality shredder with sufficient capacity to get your shredding jobs done!

Perfect shredder for home use
on May 22, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The 12 sheet shredder has been such a great addition to our home. I was constantly worried about throwing out paper with any personal information on it and was just accumulating a giant pile with no way to properly dispose of it. Now we keep the shredder in the kitchen and when I get the mail daily after going through what we need to keep I can quickly shred the rest in under a minute. The bin is the perfect size to put a grocery bag in and take out each week with the rest of the trash and the shreds are the perfect size that no information is legible after being shredded but not so tiny that it floats around and makes a mess. This is perfect for home use and I highly recommend it for anyone looking to keep their personal information secure.

Cut cut cut

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have been using the staples 15 sheet cross cut shedder for a couple weeks now and it works great! I usually put a few sheets in at a time. 15 seems like a lot and it goes a little faster with less sheets. The bin holds a lot and I can’t imagine needing to dump it very often. It feels pretty secure as far as how chopped up the papers get which is nice for financial information. We keep our shredder in the office and it fits in easily under a desk where I can roll it out a little when I need it. It’s very easy to use and doesn’t seem to be as noisy as some that I have used in the past. My favorite feature is the slide to close top which covers the slot for paper. It makes me feel a lot more comfortable with my curious toddler around. We will continue using it weekly I’m sure!

Great shredder

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this shredder from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. Overall I think it’s a powerful and efficient shredder especially given the size. While it is a bit heavy the fact that it is on wheels is great and makes it so easy to move when needed. The shredder is extremely easy to use and the bin capacity is perfect for my needs. I was pleasantly surprised at how quiet the shredder was as well; I have had smaller ones that were much louder!

Efficient and Quiet

from Gig Harbor
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shredder has been great to use and very efficient! I was pleased and actually surprised with the bin’s capacity and could shred plenty before having to empty it. We use this in our home office so the 15 sheet limit worked great. This shredder was easy to use and very quiet. I would recommend this for anyone who needs an easy shredder for their home office.

Solid paper shredded for home use
on May 22, 2024
Posted by: Comfortable casual wear
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upon delivery this is a heavy box and a heavy unit but was well packed and suffered no damage during shipment. Well written operator’s manual was easy to set up and clearly highlighted safety guards. The cross cut pattern is good. It quickly shredded 12 pieces of paper a light struggle with the 15 pieces stated in specifications. The bucket that holds the paper pulls out of the front making it super easy to empty one of the best features of this machine. Auto reverse for paper jams a motor overload shutdown feature and solid LED light overheat indicator additional great features. To turn unit on and insert paper to shred you simply push the top panel back to open and unit powers on. Closed when not in use is great to keep things you don’t want in there out.

Meh

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The shredder is small doesn’t take up much space and it’s currently in my living room under an end table. It’s not terribly loud and the bin holds the perfect amount of shredded paper. I don’t like ones with huge bins as they are hard to dispose the tiny strips of paper when full. This one has a smaller bin and I can toss the scraps without making a mess. The shredder worked ok it got the job done. However it will not shred 12 pieces of paper without causing a major jam that is not easy to remove. It sucks in the larger amounts on an angle no matter how straight you place it in. The most paper I could shred was 7 pieces. I don’t have massive amounts to shred at a time but not once could this shredder do 12 sheets of paper at a time without a jam. If you have small amounts that have to be shredded maybe get this or take to your local bank who will likely dispose for free. If you need a small shredder in your office go for it but know you will not be shredding more than 7 pieces of paper at a time.
