Customer Reviews
This is actually a little powerhouse of a shredder. It's not very tall which means you can stick it in little corners or under your window in your office, and it works great! You can shred several pieces of paper at a time which is handy. Unlike my last shredder that was bigger and bulkier but only shred like one piece of paper at a time. This guy works great! Very happy with this purchase and I would recommend.
The cutter head sits nicely atop of the almost 4 gallon basket. The over all look is nice and clean. It functions well. The cutter runs an extra second after the paper runs through it. Thus, cleaning out the blades so there's no build-up. The motor is almost quiet. This 6 sheet shredder is fun to use, and it's fast. It feels heavy duty and has good quality for the price. We got the slightly used one for 10 bucks off of the new unit. Highly recommended! A +++
This is such an amazing shredder super fast, calm, reliable, and of excellent quality for home and office use. I am using it at home, and I have never had a better shredder that is small and convenient to use.
This is a good basic shredder for home use or a small business, for occasional use. It's lightweight and easy to use, and it just works. It can't handle too many pages at a time, maybe 3 max, but once it's set on auto you can keep running pages through it. I've found it to be fast and efficient. It jammed once, probably too many pages, and took tweezers to get the last of it out. The instructions say its max run time is 3 minutes at a time but I've probably used it for longer than that and it'
This was probably my very first Amazon Basics product. The overall product reviews are generally good and the price wise, it was fairly reasonable for a shredder with this kind of specs. It shreds very fast and does so very reliably as well. Our previous shredder basically reached the end-of-life and had to be replaced. This one is a bit smaller in size but I think that it performs much better. If you are looking for a shredder that performs well and is priced reasonably, I would highly recommen
