While the shredder does deliver a micro cut the titling of the shredder as “150 sheets” is misleading as that only occurs when you load 150 sheets (no staples etc) into a feeder that slowly feeds them through the shredder. The shredder itself actually only suggests 12 sheets being shred at a time well below the 150 count advertised.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was surprised at how large the shredder is. I really liked that it rolls and is easy to move around. The bin can hold a lot and doesn't have to be emptied as often. That said the shredder would not turn on and therefore I cannot recommend it. I initially tried turning it on without reading the directions. Surely a shredder can't be that hard to figure out. It wouldn't turn on and so I had to consult the manual. It still doesn't turn on and I tried it on multiple outlets and my husband also tried to get it to turn on but no luck.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am obsessed with this shredder!! It fits directly under my home desk and has multiple points to turn on the power so I know it is safe and my son will not be able to get into it! This is the most secure shredder I have seen! It cuts the paper into tiny tiny pieces and makes me feel at ease knowing it is shredded into more than just strips! It is awesome how many pieces it can shred at one time and it is more than my family would ever need at one time but this shredder makes shredding so much fun! Before getting this product just my husband and I shredded thi bf s but now my entire family brings things to my house to be securely shredded!! I love this product!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are small business in the construction industry we do not have a lot to shred but things we need to shred we want to be sure are securely destroyed. I was impressed on how well it shreds multiple sheets and how fine the cross-shreds are when its done. It does not leave much to worry about! The capacity was perfect for our use our previous shredder was smaller and less powerful so this was a huge upgrade for us! Unless you plan on shredding a lot you will not fill the bin in one use plenty of room for multiple shreds! I think the product is very user friendly and took no setup straight out of the box. Our office is about 10 people and I did not hear any complaints All in all a great product we will hang on to!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The feeder is the best part of this shredder. I had no issues with jamming and people don't have to sit and watch its progress. The bin capacity is more than large enough too. The setup was simple I didn't even have to read the instructions or teach everyone in the office how to use it their first time. It can be tucked under a desk easily and is out of the way. Overall it is a simple machine that does its job well and doesn't feel like it is going to break right away what else do you need!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shredder is a beast—it can handle a lot of paper and it shreds it into very small pieces. the four of us who have used it at the office were impressed with the speed capacity and precision of the shredding. It’s not quiet but for the size of the shredder I was impressed that the noise wasn’t nearly as loud as I expected. The shredder is very user friendly easy to setup and has a viewer that is probably to keep track of how much is in the bin but it was also fun to watch the document destruction.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a wonderful shredder that is a real time-saver. If you have a lot of documents to shred or you are like me and end up having weeks of documents to shred at once this will shred virtually all of them into small pieces in a snap. Additionally it is powerful enough to handle thicker documents and cards as well. Sometimes my husband shreds both of our documents that we’ve accumulated at once since the bin capacity can handle it easily. Perfect for a home office or even if you just want to be extra careful and shred all things containing personal information. I thought it might be intimidating since it shreds so any sheets but it’s easy and straightforward to use. Saves us so much time and gives us peace of mind.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What was your overall impression of this shredder? How efficient was it? What did you think of the document and bin capacity? How many people used this shredder? Where did you keep it? How easy was it to use? What did you think of the shred size? I received this Staples brand 150 sheet micro cut shredder and immediately started using it. My husband is adamant that we do not throw away anything that has our names and address on it. He usually saves it up and burns it but spring in the desert means high winds and high fire danger so no burning. This shredder arrived just in time! I had an old box full of mail and magazines that needed to go away! This shredder handled everything we threw at it. We put through regular mail magazines that we ripped apart plastic cards about the thickness of credit cards and pretty much anything else that we could find. We literally sat in our kitchen (which is where we unboxed the shredder and found the nearest plug) for two hours and got rid of our burn box and whatever else we could find. We had one problem when we first put in a magazine and it was just too thick. It jammed up about a quarter of the way in. We were able to reverse it and pull the magazine out. From there we ripped the magazine apart into smaller sections and it went through just fine. The issue was resolved quickly. The only other issue I had was that we struggled to get it to turn on when we needed it another time. It turns out that the center piece that you would lift up to clear a jam was not fully in place and the machine would not turn on because of that. Once it was snapped back into it's correct spot the machine would power on. I would have preferred that the machine still power on but give me some type of error or other hint as to what could fix the problem instead of making me spend 10 minutes fiddling with everything else before we figured it out.
