Review: Solid shredder - I bought this over 4 years ago, and though I don't shred paper all that often, it is still doing an amazing job. I've never had an issue with it jamming or struggling to shred what I've put in. It has shredded its fair share of credit cards, large documents, and miscellaneous papers, and I expect (and hope) that it will last many more years. The shreds are thorough and not something even the most avid puzzler could reassemble (this is coming from someone who enjoys a good puzzle). Though the price has gone up since I purchased it, it was well worth it and I would definitely buy it again or recommend it to someone that is looking for a decent shredder at home.
Review: Great shredder, works well, but basket a bit hard to empty - We've had at least 3 shredders over the years, from the simple strip shredders of years ago, to the micro-cut shredder. Shred level is appropriate for home financial documents. Noise is not bad. Our previous desertcart shredder had a removable basket while the head stayed mounted to the frame; on this unit, the head sits atop the basket, so when you need to empty it, you have to remove the head off the basket, and find a place to put it temporarily. I know there are still versions with pull out baskets, but their price has increased. We don't have to empty ours all that often, so from a price point, this works just as well. The more difficult challenge is the closing cutter cover on top; it doesn't open beyond 45 degrees, which makes it more difficult to insert paper for shredding. Our previous unit didn't have that. I'm not sure that the cover makes it all that much safer, but it's there. For the price, an acceptable unit. If we get 2-3 years out of it, I'll declare success! Biggest issue across all shredders is keeping the cutters lubed. Scrap 8.5 x 11 paper lightly coated (not saturated!) with higher temp oils (olive or avocado) should be used periodically. You can spend more, buying those pre-lubed shredder sheets, but why?? Just search on how to do this on the web. It does extend cutter life. This is a good budget choice!

We've had at least 3 shredders over the years, from the simple strip shredders of years ago, to the micro-cut shredder. Shred level is appropriate for home financial documents. Noise is not bad.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gets the job done great!
*by H***I on July 11, 2021*

Overall extremely satisfied with this shredder. It says 8-sheet but I found its most efficient putting 3-4 sheets in at a time because for 5+ sheets it shreds slowly. Since the blades continuously rotate once you've put in paper, you can keep inserting 3-4 sheet packets back-to-back. It takes a LONG while before the shredder overheats so you can get a lot of bulk shredding done in one sitting (I had years of papers to shred, so this feature was a real time-saver). It really does take around 30-40 minutes before its cooled down and you can continue shredding. When it does overheat, whatever paper was going through will just stop where it is in the feeder until the machine cools and it will allow you to continue shredding. Because of the safety features you have to use the bucket they provide and it fills decently slowly, so you're not constantly emptying the bucket. You cant let the bucket fill too much unless the blades just keep rotating already cut pieces of paper around in circles. The little window on the front of the bucket really helps and makes that process easier. The shredder is quite loud. If you want to talk to someone while shredding you'll have to speak louder than normal conversational tones. And the shredder can be heard from a couple rooms away. The head of the shredder is quite heavy so be prepared for the weight when you lift it to empty the bucket. The blades are exposed on the bottom once you've lifted it off so you have to be careful not to touch them on accident. This shredder is amazing for the price and really gets the job done well and I havent had a single issue with yet. Would definitely buy it again!
