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
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

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.

Quiet. Confetti. Fast. Efficient.
on April 26, 2023
Posted by: tvs74
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shredder works fast and you can easily put in multiple sheets of paper at a time. The best parts of the machine are the very fine cuts/shreds of paper, fast cutting time, no dust, and the big bucket to collect it.
It has the usual buttons -- power on and a reverse button in the event of jamming, but so far, I have not experienced that. The power switch is in the back, near the cord to turn it on and off. Always leave it in the off position when not in use!
It can shred credit cards and papers that have clips and staples. Huge plus and I don't have to worry about jamming it up...even though there is a section that pulls out in the even of a jam to clear it up.
This does not shred in long strips. It shreds as micro-cut and make it look like mini cuts of paper - like fine confetti. The feeder takes paper up to 9 inches wide. The only issue with the feeder is that despite what you put in the tray (near the back), you must engage it with one piece of paper in the manual slot. Then it begins shredding.
For maintenance, I will generally put oil in it every other time from emptying the bin. It does however come with its own internal readings that let you know it needs maintenance. Unlike some other shredders I have had, this one does not create fine dust on the top of the machine either. The blades are just low enough that it does not create the dust particles.
Since the shredder comes on wheels, the bucket pulls out easy. It does not catch on anything since it is raised off the floor - almost two inches. It also has an easy to hold handle in the back of it to pick it up and move it around if needed.
While I have not run it for this long, it says it can go up to 7 minutes. For the amount of paper you can shred with each manual insertion and the ease of use, I don't know that you would ever get to that minute marker. I shred mail, bills, etc weekly, so it never piles up too big. I do financial/medical documents once a year, but with the way this machine takes down paper, it will not get to the 7 minute mark.
I received this product free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
