Very happy with this shredder. The crosscut is perfect and it is very easy to empty. I had bought one from Best Buy and I took it back. I'm so glad I found this one on Amazon. It is quieter than most, shreds quickly and is a good value for the money.

We needed a new shredder and this ones does a fab job at shredding. I did like one review did and put the carboard it in, just a little as I did not wan to ruin the blades, that would be my luck, but it shredded it like a pro. Soon I will have to shred some work documents and this will stand up to the test. It shreds paper very nicely, CC run through like butter. Hopefully this lasts a while for the price they are now.

I like the micro cut and the quiet operation. Has no problem shredding 3 triple folded sheets in it's envelope.. A lot quieter than the Fellowes I 12 sheet that I previously had that sounded like a jet! Nice size paper catch bin. Feel it's a little flimsy taking it in and out to empty. Has to go back in perfect! It even says, in instructions and show us a picture of the space if it's not in right or it won't work! The operation buttons could be better. Also kind of flimsy not easy switching to different settings and clicking it in. Feel like that may be an issue in the future. But overall a good shredder

We had a lot of old paperwork to go through from an old filing cabinet. It works very well and it's easy to set up. I also order lubrication sheets and feed those through after so many uses. Worth the price.

So I spend hours looking at different shredders, reviews and was going crazy in circles. Seemed every single one including those over hundreds of dollars had some kind of negative like overheating, not lasting long etc... I guess I was expecting the 'perfect' shredder and not expecting them to overheat etc .. since the VERY old Royal shredder I have is when crosscut shredders first came out. Never realized needed to oil etc... for a shredder and it stills work but you can still read bits of the paper soooo thought it was time to step into 21st century and get a micro shredder and i'm so glad i did!! Can't read ANYTHING. So how did I choose this one? One of the reviews a guy was feeding this shredder with cardboard boxes! No joke! I figured if it could handle cardboard boxes, it's pretty durable. Now I'm just looking to shred paper for a friend's compost so no plastic or stables but I do shred a lot for my business. I was saving a huge box of paper to shred for weeks anticipating a new shredder to try it on. One of my concerns is shredding too much for too long and waiting for cool down. I just want to shred and shred not wait for cool down. Well I don't know what the time limit on this shredder is but I was shredding away well over an hour and NO ISSUES at all. Hubby asked if I was trying to kill it lol I kept feeling the shredder to see if it was hot or anything as my old shredder you could feel a bit of heat on it. Nope! Not this shredder. The only time I stopped shredding was to empty the bin. One thing I noticed is my old cross cut shredder would leave a mess trying to empty it (same bin style as this one) because paper would be stuck on the head part where it shreds. I'd have to unplug it and pull out chunks of the shredded paper out and stick a pointy envelope opener in between the blades - royal pain with the royal shredder lol Not this one! I looked under the head of the shredder expecting some paper up in the head/shredding part but nope! Nothing there! I guess that's the advantage of micro shredders? I don't know why people feel the need to put bags inside the bin - totally unnecessary but I would have done that with my old messy cross cut if I would have thought of that! So I read about people feeling the need to unplug it and I never unplugged my old one but was going to with this one but totally forgot until I noticed few days later it was still plugged in but thankfully no issues. I did turn it off but that's just habit for me. Oh and quiet! I never realized that was an option for a shredder. I watched tv while sitting on the floor shredding and never thought I'd be able to do that. Also this shredder just seems like it's built hard like a tank so I can understand why that one reviewer ran cardboard through it and said you can't kill it. I don't think you can I'm happy with it. Oh yeah just a heads-up, there appeared to be one or two micro shredded paper in the head as well as oil so I thought maybe this was used and returned but there's no way with the Styrofoam inside the bin - it's tough getting that out without breaking it so then I realized they pre greased the shredder which was nice. As far as oil idk if I'm gonna use any. I've read mixed reviews but mostly people saying it causes jam so on the fence about that. So you can stop driving yourself crazy researching and reading reviews like I did because this shredder is the one without spending couple hundred of dollars!

This replaced one that stopped working.

This thing is a beast. I've accidently pushed in too many papers a few times and occasionally pushed them in at an awkward angle. Each time the machine simply pulls the papers through without jamming! A couple of times, it was borderline miraculous it didn't jam. The size of the hopper is generous enough that I don't have to empty it too often. It does a thorough job of shredding/cross-cutting. I've only occasionally noticed a few stray streamers from the edges of the papers that are not cross cut. It seems fairly durable and not prone to overheating. I got this to unclutter my home office and spent almost the entire first day continuously shredding about 10 years of records. At the end of the day, I was spent and the machine was entirely unfazed! I can't say enough good things about this shredder. However, since this is a review, I feel compelled to find at least one criticism. It is somewhat loud while shredding, but that's sort of to be expected.

The shredder worked great first 3 months. I use it once a week. Worked fine and then doesn't. The motor sounds like a dying car. Extremely disappointed. Had an Amazon shredder for years, never failed. Decided to get one that shreds more paper. Big mistake. Do not buy BONSAII brand. UPDATE I SENT PHOTOS AND VIDO SHOWING THE PROBLEM. THEY SENT ME A REPLACEMENT SHREDDER AND TOLD DID NOT HAVE TO RETURN THE BAD MACHINE. COULD NOT FOR A BETTER RESULT.

using this to shred some brown paper bags and cardboard to add to my composter. Works great so far, easy to use and empty.

Me sirve muchísimo y me deja tranquila que mi información no va a andar en manos ajenas Gracias
