6-Sheet Crosscut Shredder with Easy Lift Handle

We have our mini office at home and we are going through important and confidential paperwork. This was very handy to get rid of all those papers. Works amazing, still give it time in between papers or hard things like credit cards or CD's but otherwise works great.

Works as intended. It's for personal use. Fits perfectly in my home office. Does not take up too much space. If you have a garbage bag worth of papers to shread it will do the job, but it will need time to rest because it's not designed to work that hard, all at one time (I was just pushing it to the limit to see how far I could push it). But once it rest for a bit & the light changes you can get back to shredding. I got a paper jam, & I followed the instructions (easy to read) to use shreader oil or olive oil to Drip onto the jam & let it sit for 30 minutes and it working good as new. I like it and the price cant be beat. Deff worth the money. I haven't gotten a paper jam since. I wouldn't trade it for anything. I use a plastic bag to line the inside to make it easy to trash the shreadings. If you are the recycling type, you can line it with a paper bag instead.

Best quality for the dollar for a household shredder around! I wouldn't say this is quiet and I wouldn't call it loud either. It does does a perfect job on 6 or less sheets of regular paper and a great job shredding credit cards. I like that it has a clear viewer into the can so you can see if it is getting full and I love that it has a top handle to help lift off the heavy top to empty the basket and that once the top lifts off the basket the motor is disabled from turning on. I don't like that if I want to slip something into the can that i don't need to shred that I have to lift off the top to put it directly in the basket. I am happy there is a kind of cover over the the entry to the shredding blades so something falling onto the top of the can is not at all likely to be inadvertently shredded. For my household this is just what I wanted and after shopping around for it I am thrilled with the price for all these features.

Considering that this shredder costs about half than the lowest shredders offered at office stores, I can only recommend it. It works just fine mechanically. Yes, the basket could be a little bit bigger and also transparent to see when it is full. This is a basic shredder and it fully serves our purpose.

I purchased this shredder to replace my old Aurora brand shredder which provided excellent service for over nine years. It would have probably lasted longer if I had not tried to shred all three years of old tax documents in one afternoon... We have owned this new Aurora shredder for less than a month and basically use it almost daily to shred documents and bill statements. I have noticed with this new shredder that it does not shred the paper as fine as my older model, in addition, it does not have the nice 'swing lift handle' on top to easily remove the shredding mechanism off the bin in order to dump the contents. This is definitely an item for low to moderate usage. Overall, I am pleased with its service; just be sure to follow the manufacturer's guidelines of shredding no more than six sheets at a time or one credit card!
