Home Office User Pleasantly Pleased with Auto-Feed Tray
on April 29, 2023
Posted by: ChicagolandHomeOffice
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upon opening the box, I found it easy to unpack and assemble. I attached the casters onto the unit, snapped the shredder top onto the base, and slid the collection bin into the unit.
Having wheels is useful if you want to move it around; however, the benefit is that it makes removing the bin a little easier as it is raised. The large bin for holding shredded paper is a good size enabling me to only empty it once a week.
It is fairly quiet when shredding and does a good job of cross-cutting the pages. I did notice that the shredded pieces are slightly wider than my Fellowes 62MC shredder, but still very small.
The auto-feed tray is an excellent idea and extremely beneficial as it saves time; I don’t need to feed the pages, I can put a stack of pages to shred into the sheet feeder, press the start button, and let it do its thing. There is an access door to clear out jams, but I haven’t needed to use it.
Continuous run-time is listed under the specs as up to 5 minutes. The manual states up to 7 minutes maximum. I haven’t needed to run it for that long as it shreds papers at about 10 feet per minute and I haven’t needed to shred that much.
The control panel LED’s are a nice idea and allow the user to easily identify problems.
Overall I have found this to be an excellent shredder and look forward to using mine for many years.
I received this product free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
Pros: Jam Resistance, Quality Construction, Quiet Operation, Secure Cut Size, Sheet Capacity, Shreds Credit Cards, Staples and CDs, auto-feed tray
I would recommend this to a friend!

Surprised and pleased with the auto feeder!
on May 2, 2023
Posted by: Artisan
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When the new shredder arrived I was pleased with its design, it looks good in the office and I was hoping that it wouldn't be as loud as the last shredder we had. When I was unboxing the unit I was pleasantly surprised with the auto feeder because I didn't realize the shredder we got had one. After I plugged it in and figured out how to use it, I was very happy with the way that the auto shredder works...sometimes it is even a little fun to watch how the thing sorts and feeds odd sized junk mail pieces as it feeds them in. The best thing is that you can empty the unit with a drawer instead of taking the head off, it creates less mess and it even shreds to a smaller size than our last shredder. All in all, a really nice machine! I received this product free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
Pros: Mess Reduction, Secure Cut Size, Sheet Capacity
Cons: could be a little quieter that would be good
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best automatic shredder
on May 6, 2023
Posted by: Melamade5
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This little shredder is mighty. The continuous automatic feeder saves so much time I don't think I will ever go back to manual shredders. It runs smoothly and can even shred staples and paperclips. The only drawback I see is that the container that holds the shredded paper has a lip at the top and when I empty out the paper a few pieces of paper get stuck on that edge. I have to wiggle it to get all the paper out. Not a deal breaker though. The shredder runs fairly quiet and can be moved around effortlessly or stationed in place by locking the front wheels. Great product overall.
Pros: Jam Resistance, Quality Construction, Quiet Operation, Safety Features, Secure Cut Size, Service Guarantee, Sheet Capacity, Shreds Credit Cards, Staples and CDs, Warranty
