Bonsaii Heavy Duty Paper Shredder, 60-Minute 18 Sheets Cross Cut Office Credit Card Shredders for Industrial and Business Use, 23-Litre Pullout Bin with 4 Casters, Black (C149-C)

Unwrap it carefully. Buy the oil but not the bags. I am trying to be as green as possible and in early retirement I have been shredding a lot of old work related documents as well as my daily i newspaper and as much of our lockdown delivery cardboard as fits through the shredder. First impressions: It arrived as predicted within 48 hours and was well packed and Undamaged. As described by others the Castors look fragile and are not free running even after lubrication. It was bought to replace well used (10yrs+ ) but jammed and burned out high end domestic Fellowes machine with a easy to empty basket. ( see comparison in photo ). I am using the plastic bag that came around it in the box, it was also supplied with a single bag inside as well. Buying commercial see through polythene shredder bags will be convenient but they cost 16p each and won’t biodegrade. I oiled the cutter blades before use. Performance after filling one bag to brim: Noise - much, much less noisy than my old machine and more pleasant pitch - you could work in the same room. Capacity- 20 mins continuous use including up to 16 sheets of professional magazine shiny paper, several i newspapers torn in half lengthways, amazon cardboard book delivery cartons folded double thickness to full width (22cm) I didn’t try it on copier paper. The cooling fan comes on while in use but at no time did it run over after finishing shredding an item. As reported by others, for security purposes, the chads are wider than other machines but for composting this does not matter. I suspect this also the reason for its quietness and speed. It cross cut the newspaper much more effectively and therefore the shreddings sat down in the bin more easily. As a result I got a lot more in the bag than my old machine. I try not to compact the shreddings as that defeats the speed of compost making. Speed: for home use it was comparable to the old Fellowes and for a once a day session I am content but you cannot fill an auto feed and walk away. There was a slight delay on both starting and starting to reverse - this might be a good thing. It stopped 2 seconds after the cutters cleared. It stopped automatically on the first fill but I am not sure if that is a feature. Ergonomics: it’s lower than the old machine but the slot is same distance from the front. This made it more of a strain to feed it while standing but it’s shape and size and the (careful use of ) the castors mean it would be ideal for sitting under a desk. The bag sits over the rim at the back and sides and I did not have a significant spillage, the clips at the front are a bit fiddly but once you master the technique it clips in and prevents leaks at the front. I would not want to tip the shreddings straight from the bin into a plastic bin bag as the plastic felt quite fragile and the rectangular shape would not fit easily into the bag for a second fill and protruding plastic lugs would tear the bag. But transferring shreddings form the transparent bag to another bag was pure dead simple. Reliability: no comment Excellent first impressions. If it lasts then it should be more than adequate to supply my Allottment with brown material to go with the kitchen waste and grass clippings

This product is excellent. My partner has used it for a few days and it works very well, is quiet, is good quality, has a very good sized shredder waste bin and it seems to do a very good job with paper documents. My Partner has not tried this product with DVD or CD media, but it is very good with all types of paper documents. It has been used for a solid 40 minutes without a break and it worked reliably. This scanning task was also repeated later the same morning and this device continued to work well. It worked well the day after, and the day after that ! It's not easy to put waste paper bags into the shredding bin and closing the box correctly, however, without a clear plastic bag (a thin one not a carrier bag) the waste bin can be easily empted either directly into a large bag or nearby bin, obviously. This Bonsaii EverShred C149-C product is a fantastic product for the money. It offers so much value for money compared to the cheaper shredders, over the longer term. I appreciate cheaper devices can shred for 8-10mins continously, at best, unless you purchase larger office sized Rexel Mercury Shredders (and others) that are very large A3 size and cost upwards of £500 from various suppliers. Thanks Amazon for stocking this product. So far, post delivery, it has been very reliable. My partner has also shredded a number of bank documents (A4 size together, at the same time) and this device has not jammed once..

Still going strong after 2.5 years. This shredder easily handles multiple pages and card. I’m using it to shred cardboard delivery boxes for use as composting material. I’ve run it continuously shredding thick cardboard for up to 45 mins at a time and no sign of overheating. It’s definitely a lot quieter then others I’ve used. It gets moderate use and is definitely up to the job. I’ve had several home use shredders before and none have impressed or lasted any decent amount of time before jamming or breaking. I’ve seriously still had no jamming with this. I maintain it by oiling the teeth with cold pressed rapeseed oil (Tesco finest) after every use. It’s definitely a step up, good performance and was great value when I bought it almost three years ago. The only downside is the the drawer is made from a brittle plastic which meant I just had to superglue the handle after a year, but still works perfectly. Overall I’m really happy with it.

I already own the 18-sheet version of this 24-sheet shredder and I love it. The 18-sheet shredder is a beast, and I use it all the time mainly for shredding cardboard. My wife decided that she wanted a heavy-duty shredder for her home office, so I decided to give her my 18-sheet shredder and order the more meaty 24-sheet version. First impressions; it works really well, as advertised, but there are a few little niggles that left me a just a little disappointed with it. Firstly, the slot where you insert items to be shredded; even though this shredder claims to be able to shred up to 24 sheets of paper, the opening is actually smaller than the 18-sheet version. This left me having to use a little bit more force to feed in sheets of cardboard which would fit without a problem in the 180sheet version. I was expecting the feeder slot to be a little bit bigger than the 18-sheet version, not smaller. Secondly, the waste bin is advertised as 27 litres as opposed to the 23 litres of the 18-sheet version. This is all well and good, but the shredder automatically stops shredding when it thinks the bin is full. It doesn't use the full 27 litres and in fact I get more shreds in the 18-sheet shredder than I do with this one. Those two minor niggles aside, like the 18-sheet version, this shredder works really well and is clearly very powerful. It's also quieter than the 18-sheet version.

excellent shredder, great value for money, easey to assemble, great for security works very well.

Works well no problem to date David

Es exactamente lo que esperaba y no se calienta si la utilizas un buen rato, lo que no me gustó es que es muy pequeño su contenedor y se llena muy rápido.

This machine is a BEAST. I call it the mini giant. I own 3 shredders and this one works circles around the others and it was cheaper. Not once had it overheated on me and I shred boxes of docs at a time. Just wish the bin was bigger, but the motor is super strong. Highly recommended.

The Bonsaii 18-Sheet Heavy Duty Shredder,(C149-C) is an excellent shredder. If and when needed, I would not hesitate to buy this shredder again.

Very quiet and shreds into small pieces. I love my new shredder!

El producto no es nuevo y caro para que no lo sea
