Convenient For Home
on May 23, 2024
Posted by: S.E.
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!

Great shredder

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great shredder! The sliding lid is a helpful tool to make sure others will not get injured with the exposed sharp shredders. I love that the shredder is on wheels. It’s very easy to install and to move around the room as needed. It’s not heavy but it is convention hot have to pick it up if I need to move it.

Impressive shredder
on May 23, 2024

[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!

Perfect Shredder for the Home Office
on May 23, 2024
Posted by: M.H.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our household has been looking for a shredder for a while that is small enough for the home but powerful enough for sensitive documents and home office needs. Both my spouse and I work from home one in the financial world and the other in cyber security. We are both very familiar with privacy needs and concerns and a cross cut shredder was the only kind we were looking for. When we started using this shredder we were both very impressed. We don’t need to shred books just average length documents. Maybe 50 pages max. This shredder never had a single issue! It is quick and does a great job! If you wanted really ugly confetti this is the tool for you! With small children in the house we are pleased with the safety warnings although I do wish there was a cover just to make sure little fingers never got a chance to get close. But that is really my only complaint! We use this shredder multiple times a day for several weeks and it has never had an issue seems to be a great product perfect for our needs!

High capacity paper shredder
on May 23, 2024

from Brooklyn
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This paper shredded is excellent for my needs. It can shred huge stacks of paper at a time and won’t get jammed. I will suggest to keep the papers as aligned as possible though. I haven’t had any problems with jamming so far but it does say it has safety features like auto start/ stop and overloaded protection. But like I said I never encountered a problem yet. The size is perfect for under a desk at 23 inch high. It’s not too loud when shredding. It keeps all the shredded papers neatly in the bin till you’re ready to throw out. The size of the cuts are good enough for me that all the confidential information is totally secure. It even advertises that it can shred a credit card though I have not tried that. Overall this is a great item and definitely recommend.

Awesome shredder

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Staples 150 Sheet Micro-Cut Shredder is hands down the best shredder I have ever had. And I have went through several. It is smooth and quiet making easy work of all of that I have thrown at it. I recently cleaned out my parents house so I had A LOT of shredding to do. It ran continuously for 30 minutes at a time on several rounds of shredding without jamming or shutting off. The automatic feeder is a time saver. You can load it up and walk away knowing that this shredder will get it done. It makes perfect confetti out of all of your documents. It’s better than the shredder I currently use at work.

Efficient and easy to store

Posted by: J.O.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I first received this shredder from the Stellar Product Testing Panel to review I thought it might be a bit too big. But I found it fits perfectly in the desktop computer tower space on my desk! This area has been unused since I have a laptop and I never know what to put there. Assembling and using the shredder was so simple. It only took a couple of minutes to unbox it and set it up and it was ready to use. Whenever I need it I just pull it out from my desk compartment plug it in and shred. I rarely have to dump the bin because it holds so much! I don’t have a huge amount of items to shred most of the time but I get some mail or documents that I don’t want to just throw away because there are sensitive numbers or information on them. This shredder is great for someone like me because it isn’t too large and is so quick and easy to use when I need it. I also liked that it is very quiet and shreds quickly. It doesn’t just cut in strips but into little pieces that would be impossible to read or reassemble so it adds an extra level of security. Overall this shredder has been so handy to have in the house for the occasional documents that I need to shred.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Compact fits right under my home office desk and shreds 20 papers at a time no problem! Tested old CD’s and used gift cards to test and all were also shredded with ease. Great addition to any home office has the ability to shred whatever you need to destroy would recommend to anyone!
