This shredder is very aesthetically appealing and because the base is a wide rectangle it is very sturdy and not prone to tipping or falling. However it only has an 8-sheet capacity and is almost twice as loud as my 12-sheet shredder. Additionally it stays on after shredding paper for a few seconds longer than my other shredder which means you're hearing that loud noise for nearly twice as long. The shredded papers are almost the exact same size and shape of other cross-cut shredders so security-wise it is very comparable. I thikn that overall this shredder is a very good value and it seems to do a very good job.

Very easy set up isn’t very noisy shredded up to 8 pages of copy paper easily also shredded credit card easily. Easy to move around where needed easy to empty the bin. I would definitely purchase this shredder it is the perfect size for any home office tucks away in a corner or under a table. I shredded quite a lot over the past two weeks and it never bogged down and always ran smoothly even with staples still on some pages.

Works fine and would be great for the average family who mainly uses it to shred mail and bills. I work from home and use a heavy duty Fedders shredder I bought from Staples several years ago. I often shred thick documents and you can use it longer before letting it rest. Once again for family mails and bills this would work quite well

I've used this shredder for about two weeks now putting it through the motions to make sure it works well and indeed it does. It cuts well and does not slow down much when the maximum pages are inserted. Looks great so far and hopefully this model will address any drawbacks the prior model had. Time will of course tell and Staples stands behind their products so I am not that concerned.

The Staples 8-Sheet Shredder in my mind was a shredder that I would use and it would work just fine nothing special but I was very surprised that this shredder was different. It was much stronger than what I'm used to in a shredder. It shreds paper very well but they all do but I was able to really leave multiple papers together and they shredded just as well as a single sheet. I was definitely impressed. I was aware that would even work on credit cards. I was beyond skeptical yes it works on several sheets of paper even stapled papers but cards hard cards I wasn't so sure about and it worked. We all those old cards we have to get the scissors out for and cut random ways to ensure our information is safe and all the gift cards that pile up that have no money left on them. I put the cards in the shredder and it took care of all of them and that was probably what impressed me most. It was a real time saver which was nice to have on hand. I did worry that tge shredder would be less sharp and effective after shredding the cards and it was not less effective or strong in anyway so I was very happy with how it all worked out. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who needs a strong shredder because this seems like it will handle anything you need.

I have regularly used this shredder for a couple weeks and find that it delivers on its claims and has proven to be an effective small capacity shredder. While on the smaller side it still meets the needs of an average-sized household with two remote workers. I had no problem shredding 8 sheets at a time and never experienced a jam or any hesitation. I was also able to shred gift cards without incident. The only minor difficulty I experienced was when trying to shred receipts. Because the paper is so thin I needed to shred several at a time or bulk it up by including some full-sized sheets before it would ‘grab’ and process. Otherwise it was easy to set up and performs as expected.

The 8-sheet shredder worked just as expected. I tried it using multiple layers of paper up to eight and they all worked well! I like that the shredder does the job quickly and efficiently.

I did not know what to expect but this thing delivers. I am impressed with the durability and design. Its powerful enough to take care of all my needs. Not the biggest container but its meant for a small office. I had no problems shredding the stuff I use. Easily shredded cardstock type paper. The best thing about it is how sleek and professional it looks. Fits nicely beside desk and looks very modern. 5 out of 5 for me!
