5.0 out of 5 stars The Amazon Basics 8-Sheet Strip Cut Shredder: A Marvel of Modern Mundanity!
Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2024
In a world where the mundane meets the magnificent, there exists a device so powerful yet so unassuming, it could only be the Amazon Basics 8-Sheet Strip Cut Paper, CD, and Credit Card Shredder. This black behemoth, with its 3.2-gallon wastebasket, stands as a testament to the modern age's most thrilling act: shredding!

Gone are the days of tearing up sensitive documents by hand, like a barbarian. No, my friends, we live in an era where up to eight sheets of 20-pound bond paper can be transformed into 1/4-inch-wide strips of confetti with the mere push of a button. And let's not forget about its voracious appetite for CDs, DVDs, and credit cards, devouring them with the same gusto as a kid in a candy store.

But wait, there's more! This shredder doesn't just shred; it does so with a P-2 security level, ensuring that your secrets are safe from prying eyes. And with a 3-mode control switch (auto, off, reverse), you're in full command of your shredding destiny. Overheat? Not on its watch, thanks to the auto shut-off feature that protects the motor from overheating.

So, if you're in the market for a shredder that combines the excitement of a spy movie with the practicality of office equipment, look no further. The Amazon Basics 8-Sheet Strip Cut Shredder is here to make your paper-destroying dreams come true, all while fitting snugly under your desk. It's not just a shredder; it's a way of life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good quality for an Amazon Basic…
Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2024
Don’t expect to be shredding 10-15 pieces of paper at a time, but if you’re looking for just a small shredder to use occasionally this keeps up pretty well. It does just sit on a small trashcan that it comes with and the bracket does extend (but not that far so you cannot use this for a large industrial trash can).

Would recommend this one over the others on Amazon if you don’t plan on shredding a ton of items at a time.

This does go on sale so buy it then…

Basic shredder, works fine. I prefer the single long cut as opposed to a double/cross cut. The single long cot makes the shreds much easier to handle, and much less messy to dump.

product is as described and easy use with any kind of container. several options for shredding. easy to use. the only thing i did not like is that it does not take that long to heat up. has a automic stop(stops when gets to warm and than shuts down for 15 min before it will restart.
