Bonsaii 15-Sheet Paper Shredder for Home Office Use, 10-Minute Cross Cut Shredder with 5.5 Gallons Bin, P-4 High Security Heavy Duty Office Shredder Shred CD/Credit Card

Works great! Pretty small, but works so well cutting it all into confetti that it holds a LOT! Works great on lots of papers in a row, boxes from food packaging, and boxes from Amazon. Never overheated like my old one of the same size. A bit loud because it is surprisingly powerful. I only wish it had a pull-out drawer instead of a lift-off top! But...they added a handle to the top! Makes it so much easier to life, and to replace without pinching fingers. This is a quality machine. I keep it in the kitchen and put all paper and cardboard packaging through it, as well as any loose paper and mail we get. Saves so much space in the trash! I have multiple litterboxes and use shreds for a couple of them that I dump daily, stretching the cost of replacement litter used in the others. I also use it to shred cardboard for my garden. My daughter likes to shred construction paper then play with the confetti nuggets that come out in different thicknesses depending on how many she shreds simultaneously.

This provides good performance for a small, moderately-priced shredder. It handles CDs and credit cards as well as paper. I haven't experienced any jamming or overheating, even with a large total number pages shredded a few sheets at a time. Although the advertised capacity is higher, I don't put more than about five pages at a time.

So far this is working as expected. I’ve shredded the basket full four times the afternoon I received it. I found that its maximum number of sheets it will handle at one time is 8-9 sheets depending on the paper, instead of the advertised 12. It won’t shred credit cards. Over all I’m very happy with the purchase for the money.

Seems to work very well. There is one quirk that is preventable if you leave the switch set to auto and you have a power outage, the shredder runs for a few seconds when the power is restored. That can be jarring in the middle of the night if you’re a light sleeper. The workaround is just to keep the switch in the off position instead of auto.

Works as it should. I use this to shred CC statements primarily, maybe 1-2 times a week. Great crosscut shredding and basket has good capacity for household use. I like the basket viewing window to be able to tell when it needs to be emptied instead of having to remove the shredder. Handle on shredder top is nice.

After returning the first shipment due to shipping damage, I received my shredder. It appears to have an ample sized bin for the shred, smooth automatic operation, and the noise level was not bad. I have not put it to a hard test yet, but so far I am satisfied with it's value for what is cost.

Apr 2023 Update: 6+ months and this thing is still going strong! Just bought shredder oil sheets for the first time ever because how durable it's been! Original Review: So far this is the best shredder I've ever owned by a wide margin! Glad I spent a little bit more money on a much higher quality product (I got the 10min one too), this is the best bang for your buck! I've had a few shredders before in the ~$40 range (mostly Staples ones) that broke pretty quickly -- this one really doesn't cost that much more, comparatively. They'd only be able to do like 5 sheets (nowhere near 12) and eventually plastic bits would start falling out of the insides and it would stop working. If you put in like 4 sheets and folded one accidentally, those would jam immediately. Then the jams would be hard to clear and could damage the shredder. Or you'd run it for like a minute and it would start overheating already and start malfunctioning. So far, with this shredder, in a few weeks' time period, I already shredded more than I have in the past 5 years combined. Probably did like ~10,000 sheets of lots of old documents. That's how much of a powerhouse this shredder is compared to all the other ones I've owned previously! So it's been easily worth the money already as it has outlasted the others that would start malfunctioning at ~1,000 sheets. It's also never jammed on me! I've never tried 12 sheets on it, but it'll do 6 sheets no problem, whereas my previous shredders would start falling apart -- literally -- if you tried 6 sheets. And this thing can run for like an hour without overheating! Like I get tired out and I have to take a break well before it overheats. Whereas with previous ones, I'd spend like 2 minutes and already had to wait for it to cool down. Now the bottleneck isn't the shredder, but me! Also, because it's been so durable so far, I'm no longer afraid of shredding things here and there, worried that the shredder might suddenly break. Sometimes I shred some old documents as a therapeutic, meditative activity now -- shred your worries away xD It also holds more paper than my previous shredders before I have to clean it out. And while it is taller than I expected, that surprisingly made it more ergonomic so I didn't have to lean over as much while shredding. As some reviewers have noted, when I got it I did check the insides and did see some bits of shredded paper. That seemed sketchy, but it does say on the note that comes with it that they "test every shredder" and so that's why you might see some leftover bits. And honestly, even if it is used, it's outlasted my previous shredders by a 10x margin already, so it's good quality stuff either way. So, overall, well worth the price, best bag for my buck I've had with a shredder. Bonsaii also has a 1-year warranty (and the reviews seem to say that they've made good on that too!), which is why I originally bought it with my past shredder purchases going awry. But I guess it's as they say, if a company is confident in such a long warranty, the product probably isn't going to break quickly! Hoping to have this last for many more years :)

This is a great shredder! The cross cuts are great that no one will ever be able to put the cut pieces together! The big bin is wonderful, as is the motor and the handle for easy removal from the bin. It looks great, runs beautifully and doesn't jam when shredding 12 pages, as others have.

Love this shredder! The conatiner is bigger than the average 4 gallon. It is super quiet and shreds like a dream (very tiny pieces) . But I specially love that it has a handle, which makes it so much easier to lift the top. I put a garbage bag in the bin and it's so easy to empty! I haven't tried to shred more than 4 sheets at once and it does that with ease. Perfect for my needs.

I bought this to replace a lousy cheap thing in my office. My needs are modest. I have a Rexel domestic product at home that has chugged on for 20 years of self-employed duty, it shreds two pages at a time if they're not thick. It gets hot and is slow and easy to jam, but has been reliable. This shredder is about the same noise level as my Rexel, does cross cut pretty well, and has a good sized bucket for the shreds, with a window which is indeed very useful. It isn't particularly fast and it copes with maybe four sheets of paper, but I stick to two because more just slows it down, stresses the thing, and will reduce it's lifespan. It is listed as for light office duty, I think that's a good description. To me it's work is a few sheets regularly, with infrequent sessions shredding the odd ream of old files. If that is your workload, this will do fine. If you need something fast and dependable for regular office file shredding, can't take the time to remove staples &c, or need 12 sheets shredded at a time, I would suggest look at paying a fair bit more for a commercial-duty shredder which this does not pretend to be. It has a reverse 'always on' setting for clearing jams, but no 'always on' forward setting which can be useful. However, it stays on for a couple of seconds after the paper has passed through which goes a long way to clearing any impending jams.

La verdad, no cumole lo que dice, solo aceora dos hojas y ya trabajabdo un rato ( 2 horas ) se empieza a atorar y a detener....

Funciona muy bien,recomendada

Perfecta siempre y cuando no introduzca más de 12 hojas por vez, cuando ya pones 10 a 12 el proceso se hace un poco más lento.
