BONSEN Heavy Duty Paper Shredder, 24-Sheet Cross-Cut Shredder, 40-Min Continuous Running Time, Commercial Grade Shredder for Office, 9-Gallon Big Basket, 55dB Super Quiet, P-4 High Security (S3105)

This shredder is bullet proof. I bought this just to shred cardboard to add to my compost bins. I have shredded so many boxes I've long lost count. I fill large leaf bags full of shreds and I have seven full bags waiting to go in the compost right now. I have put untold bags full already into the compost bins. Of course it shreds paper like nothing. This thing is quiet, easy to use, a large collection bin that is very easy to empty and replace. I have continuously shredded for at least two hours straight without stopping. I have had it stop in overheat mode 3 or 4 times but I try to stop when I feel the side getting very warm. I do oil the cutters with proper shredder oil each time I use it. The controls are very simple easily accessible at the top. You can manually reverse the cutters and manually run forward as well. It's a momentary hold down of the buttons. The shredder automatically starts when it senses paper entering the top and automatically senses when the bin is full. The shreds are quite small which makes composting quick and for documents impossible to read afterwards. It has rollers instead of feet that are lockable which makes it very convenient to move around without picking it up. And if you want to pick it up it has nice hand holds on the sides to make that as easy as possible. This unit is quite heavy because of the large cutter head and motor inside. I would classify this as a commercial type shredder that you would find in a large office. It is well worth the purchase price. It comes fully assembled except for the wheels which are very easy to install. You won't regret buying this unit. Update : 5/19/26 The shredder teeth stopped turning even though the motor still runs. It's not jammed. We'll see how well they cover their warranty.

Why didn’t I upgrade sooner? In short, this shredder is absolutely amazing, and well worth the money. Pros: Quiet shredding. This is much quieter than the smaller shredder I had before Can handle high volume. We just moved, and had a lot of paperwork to shred. Handled it easily and fast Shreds credit cards and staples with no problem. Ran about 30 old plastic credit/insurance cards through quickly Simple pm/off button and auto shred start Easy assembly - just attach the wheels High capacity bin - will need to be emptied rarely Cons: It’s big. Doesn’t fit under my office desk like the old one. Comes with the territory, but read dimensions first. Need to line things up well. Can’t just be sloppy about how you insert multiple pages for shredding Summary - 100% win. Will update my review if I experience anything negative down the line. Very highly recommend!

I recently purchased the paper shredder and it has exceeded my expectations. As someone who receives a lot of junk mail, I needed a reliable shredder that could handle heavy loads without skipping a beat. This shredder does just that, it effortlessly devours any paper I feed it and purrs along quietly while doing so. What sets this shredder apart from others I've tried is its power. It never lugs down, even when faced with my most heavy and stubborn junk mail. It easily shreds through everything, leaving no paper trail behind. I can confidently say that this shredder is the best I've ever used. In fact, I am so impressed with this product that I wish I could give it six stars. From its smooth operation to its sturdy construction, it has truly exceeded my expectations. As soon as I picked up the box from my front porch, I could tell that this shredder was built to last. With its weight and quality build, I knew it was a wise investment. Overall, I am more than pleased with this paper shredder. It has made my life much easier and has saved me time and effort in getting rid of my junk mail. I highly recommend this product to anyone in need of a powerful and reliable shredder. Exceeded my expectations for what i was looking for.

This is an awesome shredder have went through our 2 bags of stuff great...very quickly and quietly all you hear is a munching sound...very happy with my new shredder... Thanks

This is an excellent paper shredder. Not very fast, but it has a lot of torque and rarely bogs down, or jams, even with very heavy, stiff cardboard. For the past couple of years we have used this to shred all manner of cardboard boxes for mulch, and even being kept in an outside (covered) garage somewhat exposed to the elements for better part of a year, the only problem is the power button became stuck (in the On position fortunately). I would highly recommend. Related note: From the factory, the opening is too narrow to effectively feed thicker cardboard (such as the heavy duty moving boxes). However, I performed some minor surgery with a Dremel tool to enlarge the feed opening, and now it works great. This involves some minor disassembly; however, if you're' careful to mind wires, especially the light activated feed sensor, it's not hard to do. Unfortunately, I have not found a reasonably priced unit on the market that will feed cardboard. If you're willing to modify, this unit will do it. If it fails, I would purchase again.

This is a true heavy-duty shredder. It's quiet, and it gobbles up stacks of 20-page docks. There are two things that I don't like about it. Number one is the mess the bin creates when you remove a full bin. For some reason, the designer decided to put little traps at the bottom of the shredder's bin holder. These trap clippings can't be removed without a vacuum. The auto-reversing after shredding a doc doesn't help either. It reverses as you're removing the bin, creating a mess. That auto-reversing feature is the second thing I don't like. After you shred a doc, the shredder comes to a halt, and after two or three seconds, the drum reverses for a few seconds. Very annoying when you're trying to shred a bunch of docs. Other than these two items, I really like it. I've shredded thirteen years of financial docs, and it hasn't even whimpered.

Bought this 2 years ago for my dental office and it has never overheated or given us any issues. I have purchased shredders over the years that lasted only a few months. This was worth the price and now I am ordering one for home use.

I needed an excellent heavy duty paper shredder that not only shreds paper but things with staples, and it shreds CDs and DVDs and it's got a very big storage bin that holds the shreds till you have to dump it! I'm very happy with this shredder and it's relatively quiet and I get very happy shredding all my junk mail every day and knowing my personal details are wiped out and I can dump the shreds in our apartment dumpster and not have to worry about people going through the trash and getting my important information because this machine micro shreds to where it's impossible to see or get important information!

This shredder is a terrific machine. Over time we had stored decades worth of shredding. I was using a good but incredibly loud shredder that just wasn't up for this job. I bought the Bonsen and my only regret is that I didn't buy it sooner. Its quiet, capable, and sturdy. Comes with a large basket so you're not constantly emptying it. Its pricy but I'd buy it again.

Well made sturdy build. I had no problem shredding old tax returns, although unit is rated at 24 max sheets I have only tested at 18 sheets and it worked well. Shredder is fairly quiet and easy to operate with only two control buttons forward and reverse.

Juste wow. Rapidité, grande capacité de feuilles d'un coup, peu bruyante, se déplace bien grâce aux roulettes. Je recommande

This shredder is unlike anything else, it’s tough, it’s quick, and it does what you need it to do and then some!

This is a monster!! I don't think I will ever need a replacement for my home use. It is well worth the price.
