Small but works well

Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2024

Small but works well, fast. Overheated after doing A LOT of papers on a row (stopped accepting papers, had a red light and needed to cool down for 30 mins before resuming). Noise- average for a shredder.

This shredder works great and never overheat ed and I was using it for over an hour and filled up several garbage bags. It shredded cards without a hitched. Great value!

Got my new eight page paper shredder yesterday. Have used it and I must say this shredder is absolutely awesome. It’s compact does a great job. Noise is minimal. I went as far as using for sheets of paper, eight is not necessary, may try the eight eventually. I definitely would recommend the shredder to anyone considering to buy it. It was the newest model of the Eight page shredder. I absolutely love it, love it, love it!

You will need a vaccuum or a broom when you empty this shredder

Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2024

Based on the many reviews, a very positive review on wirecutter, and of course the price, I opted for this one. The good: it does the job. It's fairly noisy with just a sheet or two. It actually runs more quietly if you shred more sheets rather than fewer. And most importantly, it chugs along and does the job well. It ran continuously longer than rated.

But... emptying the collector creates a mess. There's not a very good way to know how full the bin is. To empty the bin, you lift off the head off. shreds will rain down some. Second, there's no really good way to lay the head down except upside down. I lean it against the wall where it sorta balances (I do my shredding in the garage). Don't try to remove the shreds from the head - the cutters are very close and you can poke yourself (speaking from experience here). Third, when you emptying the bin, it's EASY to make a mess. The shreds can and will fly around. The bin doesn't fit nicely into a grocery bag unless it's empty. I guess you could use a plastic bag. There's also a nice mist of paper that will plume when you dump the shreds.

All said, the shredder works well, but the engineering on dealing with the shreds could be much improved. The impact is you should expect to have to clean up the debris when you empty the bin.

Trucking along

Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2024

This little guy is trucking along. It definitely doesn't take 8 pages, the most I can get is 2 without it complaining, and 4 if I'm pushing it. It sounds like it's going to jam up if I put a credit card through it. **BUT** despite saying that I will say that I love this little guy! It works so well and has never overheated on me. If you treat it well, it will last you a while! So worth the money, excited to save up for a bigger one of the same brand!

Perfect for small jobs

Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2024

I just had to put it through the test. It jammed. It overheated. And it stopped working. I thought I broke it. It started working again an hour later. It shredded a large box of documents that was building up for several years Once I kept it around 5 o 6 sheets at a time and nothing more than a few minutes at a time. Shredding during commercial breaks seemed to work.i just need to remember I have it and use it.

Great little shredder

Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2024

Compared to my old shredder this is far superior. The old one was expensive and I was always cleaning it out. This one is quick and efficient and I love it. I am careful though to not thread more than three pages into it at a time as I don't want to strain the motor.

This shredder is amazing!

Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2024

I know it isn’t meant for this, but I use the shredder to shred cardboard boxes ( such as Amazon boxes). I shred enough to fill 6- 9 large boxes of cardboard per week.

While shopping I saw a 20 pg shredder on sale for the same price so I assumed it would work just the same and needed another. So, I got it impulsively . It runs 1/4 the time of the Amazon shredder prior to overheating and it can’t handle thicker boxes, while this Amazon shredder has handled pretty thick boxes over the past year.

It’s been a huge money saver bc I use it to make cheap, lightweight eco friendly, homemade cat litter for a rescue filling 40-60 litter boxes per week. I run the shredder for around an hour at a time and never had an issue, ever.
