Fast and Easy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoyed using this shredder. It made shredding paper very easy. Not once did I get anything stuck in it. I was going through a lot of papers and so I put it in the kitchen as it is pretty large and wouldn’t fit in the office. The shredder has a convenient slide cover so the teeth are never showing which made it less tempting for my kids to mess with. As I mentioned I had it in the kitchen and would move it around but the wheels that are on it make it very convenient to just slide around. I was pleased with the bin capacity. Overall what is most important to me when dealing with gadgets is the ease of use. I have a household to run and the last thing I want to do is sit down for an hour trying to figure out how to make something work. This shredder was perfect. The instructions/setup were easy and simple and I was ready to get started using it right away!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the paper shredder cuts paper in small strips. I like that when you stop using it in turns off by it self and it also shreds credit cards pretty easy even though its thick and hard.

Review of Staples 15 Sheet Cross Cut Shredder
on May 24, 2024
Posted by: Marshall

[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 to use Shredder

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a high quality shredder! It shreds all sorts of materials very efficiently. I kept it in my living room to shred documents credit cards and anything else that needed shredding. It was quiet enough to keep in the living room and not distract anyone listening to music or watching TV. The bin on this shredder was a good size big enough to hold quite a bit but not so big that it's too heavy when full. However the weight of the actual shredder not the bin was significantly heavier than I expected making it difficult to move the shredder around the room when I needed to.

[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.

Gets the job done

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a pretty good paper shredder that shreds in a cross cut design. I like this type of shredding because I can use it for filler in projects too. It fit 12 sheets at a time which is plenty in terms for throughput for at home use. The shredder has a removable top so you can easily get rid of the shredded paper without lugging the whole thing. I like that this model can accommodate staples so I don’t have to remove those ahead of time. It can even shred credit cards which is very handy and I no longer have to cut those up with scissors. It does have some weight to it but it’s not bulky and it can fit under a desk. The noise level is pretty typical of a shredder so I’m not bothered by it. Overall it’s great for at-home use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used the Staples 15 Sheet Cross Cut Shredder several times over the past few weeks. The shredder is sturdy heavy and large enough without being overbearing. The shred size is fine providing confidence that personal information will be protected. It easily and quickly shreds up to 15 sheets of paper at a time as well as credit cards. There is no significant difference in speed or noise volume between 1 sheet and 15 sheets. Overall the noise volume is pretty on par for a home shredder. The bin capacity is quite large has a window to easily view how full it is and holds more than I expected it to. I love how the top cover slides over the paper slot to turn the shredder on and off as it protects curious little fingers and prevents anything unwanted from falling into the slot. It is currently stored in a closet away from toddlers but the optional wheels make it very convenient and easy to roll out and plug in when needed. I have not noticed any flaws and find this to be the perfect home shredder considering the shredding efficiency wheels for easy moving capacity and safety of the paper slot top cover.

Staple paper shredder
on May 23, 2024
Posted by: B.M.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My first impression taking it out of the box was it is super heavy. I did struggle removing it from the box and getting it set up. Once it was plugged in everything was self-explanatory. I love that it slides open to and then you place the papers in the shredder. I love that safeguard there in case there’s ever a little fingers around. My second favorite thing about it is it’s super quiet. With how heavy it was I assumed it was going to be loud and aggressive sounding. Overall I’m super impressed with the quality. I’m able to shred up to 24 papers with Staples included. Saves me so much time not pulling them apart when I’m in a hurry . We use this at our business in our office and find that it’s super convenient to roll around with the wheels at the bottom. That way if I’m shredding a large amount of things I can slide it right up to my chair. And roll it back into place when I’m done.
