This is a quality shredder. It was very easy to setup and get running - less than two minutes. I have shredded up to six pages in it so far and it moved through them with ease. The shredder is a little loud but I can't say that it's definitely any louder than other shredders that I have used in the past. It also seems to provide the ability to shred things like credit/debit cards but I have not had a reason to use that yet. Only complaint I would have is that the slot to feed in the paper could be a bit wider. It's pretty much exactly fits a 8.5 wide sheet of paper with little wiggle room so sometimes I wouldn't get the paper lined up on the first attempt. Would be nice it there was an additional half inch of space or something like that.

I was very pleased with the Staples 8-Sheet Shredder. It was the perfect size to have next to my work desk and to shred as I went through my daily mail. I also like the look of the shredder too as it has a very modern sleek look to it. The shredder did well in shredding papers and envelopes. I did make sure to not over-feed more than the 8 page limit. I also liked that it was capable to shred credit cards. The most important feature that I like was that it has the more secure feature of cross cut shredding. The shredder did include a sample of the Shredder lubricant sheet however I did wish it included a plastic bag option or suggestion (for those of us who like to shred directly into a bag that can be tied and then discarded). Overall I am very pleased with this light duty shredder.

Excellent! Very easy to use! It says 8 sheets but I tempted fate and did 10 sheets one time. It handled it like a champ! It’s probably not good for the shredder to do on a regular basis but it can handle it.

The Staples 8-sheet shredder is almost perfect. There are many positives with this products. It cuts paper and credit cards efficiently in a cross cut pattern. It automatically starts cutting as soon as I feed it through the slot and I don’t have to worry about it not being shredded enough. There are a one negatives that are not dealbreakers but could make the shredder more enjoyable to use. First is that it is very heavy. The handles are attached to the top shredder portion so if I need to transport or move the shredder around my office I can’t hold it from the handles otherwise I could accidentally knock it over and all the paper could fall out. Overall I’m satisfied with this shredder but I just have to be carefully when moving this.

This shredder was easy to use and navigate the function buttons. Definitely fit its name as an 8 sheet shredder because i was able to shred 8 sheets at a time with no issues or of any kind. Shredded over 200 pages and did not encounter a jam or any other problems. A wonderful product that lived up to its description and functioned as expected.

Very nice shredder! This shredder exceeded my expectations. It was quieter and faster than I thought it would be. The capacity was surprisingly adequate as well. It never stopped or overheated which was a pleasant surprise. I used it for a total of 15 minutes the first time and was able to shred an entire bag of papers easily and effortlessly. I appreciated that it came well boxed and the box was well constructed. I would definitely recommend this shredder to someone who is looking for a lightweight model that does a good job.

This shredder worked great. It handled thick sheets of multiple papers without jamming and I was honestly surprised. Very easy to use and doesnt take up much space.

After putting this shredder through some pretty intense usage I am impressed with its performance! When I first received the shredder I was a little worried about the size of the collection bin and was prepared to empty frequently based on using similar capacity shredders in the past. However I was pleasantly surprised as this shredder just kept shredding and shredding before requiring the bin to be emptied. That is a big plus for me! I didn't experience any jams when shredding the recommended quantity of sheets. Even when I went a little over the recommended quantity I didn't experience jams but just a little slower performance (though that is to be expected) as I was trying to push the limit to see if it would jam. The motor seems very strong and durable and is about as loud as any comparable product on the market but shredders typically aren't quiet anyways. The only issue that I experienced was having to put smaller items to shred in the center of the feeder to get it to start. I put issue in parenthesis because this really isn't an issue it's more of a preference of being able to place an item anywhere in the feeder to start. I would not hesitate to purchase a Staples brand shredder based on my experience. Overall it is a quality product and is comparable to any similar capacity shredder on the market and should be seriously considered!
