Great for home office
on May 25, 2024
Posted by: F.D.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall this shredder was good. It fits perfectly in the small space between the printer and the desk of our home office. The noise is not terrible. It's about what I would expect from a shredder. It didn't scare my dogs or kid so that's a win for me but I wouldn't use it while people were sleeping. It says it can shred 12 pages at once. I would disagree. It eventually gets there but it takes a lot for it to manage the 12 pages and I believe if you did that frequently it would eventually break. I think 10 pages would be a better description. The bin would also need to be emptied regularly but that doesn't bother me at all because the compact size is perfect. I think the shred size is good but if you're shredding super sensitive documents you may want something different. For the basics it's exactly what you need. Overall I think it's a great compact shredder that does well and is a nice addition to our home office for small business and home use.

Great Shredder

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed to replace an old shredder and was very pleased with this new shredder. It’s sturdy and gets the job done. I think the shred size and bin are perfect for my small home office. The ease of use was simplistic and I appreciate that. It sounds like a shredder when used but nothing overwhelming.

Great for a small office
on May 25, 2024
Posted by: ashcane
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have this shredder in my home office at the moment though I believe it would work very well for a small office as well. After receiving the shredder I tested it on a box of documents I’ve been meaning to shred for months. It took care of the whole box in about 10 minutes. I felt the bin capacity was generous however you often have to open the bin every once in awhile and push the piled up paper away from the sensor long before the capacity is reached. This along with the fact that there’s no pull handle or place to grasp the bin to pull it out makes the task more annoying than it should be. I’ll be using this to shred client documents containing sensitive information and the shred size is appropriate for this. I like the wheels on the bottom of the shredder as this will be tucked in the corner of my L-desk. The shredder is very easy to use especially considering mine didn’t appear to come with any directions.

No complaints

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shredder does what it's supposed to as efficiently and as quietly as one can reasonably expect. The shreds are definitely small enough that I would not worry at all about security. The bin is quite large especially if just using it at home for personal use like I am. To start shredding just slide the top open and feed the papers in. It works fast and I haven't had anything get jammed. When you're done slide it closed--very easy. The sliding mechanism feels sturdy. The shredder has casters to move it around. However take care if you need to move it since it is top heavy. I kept the shredder in my bedroom where space is limited so I did need to move it around to use it. The noise is not too loud and lower pitched so it's not irritating at all. Overall I recommend it if you're looking for a paper shredder.

Review of Staples 15 Sheet Cross Cut Shredder
on May 24, 2024
Posted by: Marshall
from Santa Barbara
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall my initial impression of the Staples 15 Sheet Cross Cut Shredder was positive. Classic black matte color decent sized but not so big that it won't fit nicely in my office. The sliding function that covers the slot where the paper gets inserted is a nice feature though as the parent it would be nice if there was some sort of locking mechanism to prevent access even further. Once plugged in it is simple and easy to use based on the buttons on the shredder and the short instructions that came along with it. I was able to shred multiple pieces of paper no problem along with an old credit card and some thicker cardstock. Very efficient for the function. The box states that it is capable of 20 minutes of consecutive shredding which is well more than I anticipate ever needing. The size of the shredded paper makes me feel comfortable that no one would be able to put together any information from the remains. The machine is about as loud as you'd expect from a medium sized paper shredder; not obnoxious by any means but not silent either. The first time I took the bin out to empty it and put it back in it didn't seem to catch correctly and I had to work it a little bit to get it fully aligned. Perhaps a bit of "operator error" but it feels like it should have fit easier. The bin itself is plastic but it is somewhat flexible and bends easily so if it was more firm that may not have been an issue. The main reason that I could not give this five stars is two minor issues. First the prongs on the plug were slightly bent coming out of the box so I had to adjust them before I could plug in the machine. Second one of the four wheels was missing the metal peg that inserts into the bottom of the shredder so I was unable to put all four wheels on it which really meant I could not put any wheels on it without it being off balance. That didn't seem like a big issue to me as I do not foresee a need to move the shredder around. Overall a good shredder.

Easy and Efficient
on May 24, 2024
Posted by: C.H.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This paper shredder gets the job done! Sleek simple design not too loud quick and efficient. The document capacity allows for quick disposal of larger amounts of papers and the bin capacity is sufficient to hold the shredded waste. It is quite heavy and cumbersome especially when unboxing but once put in its place in the office the heaviness is not an issue. I appreciate the safety features especially having a little one at home and walking near and around the home office! We love this shedder and serves our home and work needs well.

Capable with a Nice Shred Size
on May 24, 2024
Posted by: J.D.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a small business owner I really like this shredder! Overall impression good! Top heavy and a bit hard to move on carpeted areas but easy to use and I just set it in one place and leave it there. I really like the ability to shred 24 pieces at once and it has the capability of shredding credit cards and CDs. Document bin capacity is sufficient for personal or small business use (1-2 ppl). It has a nice small shred size. Loved how it shredded credit cards. This shredder has a cute window in the front to assess waste bin capacity and shredding limits. The look of it is simple and clean. The use of it is easy to figure out. Setup was quick and simple.
