- Aurora Commercial Grade 200-Sheet Auto Feed High Security Micro-Cut Paper Shredder/ 60 Minutes/Security Level P-5

This shredded is awesome. We have 2 different auto feed shredders and both work great for different jobs. This shredder is worth every penny. The pieces are so small that security is not an issue. The speed is pretty decent and with automatic shutdown if the shredder gets too hot. This shredder is definitely heavy duty and weighs a lot. I’ve ran this shredder for a long period of time without overheating.

This is, hands down, the best shredder I've ever owned. First, the auto-feed is a must. If you have stacks of 8.5x11 paper that needs shredding, this is your product. I've had Fellows for years that I used to hand feed paper into, which was great at the time but now, I need the auto-feed. I decided to get rid of my file cabinets and tons of paper, buy a high speed scanner (Epson RR-600W) and make all my files electronic. It was working out great until I realized that I have hours and hours of shedding to do. I recently tried an HP shredder with auto-feed and that was a disaster. The paper kept getting caught on a ledge where the paper feeds in and it would stop barely into a stack. So I looked for something that wouldn't get caught on anything (didn't care if it was P4 or P5 cross-cut) and I saw this one. It was a little more than I wanted to spend, but instead of calling out a shredding truck or taking bags and bags of paper to a place that may or may not shred my confidential docs, I spent the money and I'm really happy that I did. I can put 200 pages in this machine and go about my business while it does all the work. I think it's about 8 - 9 minutes to shred a full stack (mainly because it is a P5 and the shreds are pretty tiny). You can also leave staples in the auto-shred because of the way the paper is pulled into the machine, which is the best thing about this shredder. The manual feed takes staples and odd shaped docs as well. This thing is fairly quiet for a shredder which makes me happy too. It's on casters so I can pull it in and out of the little cubby that I have it in. The paper bin is also has casters on the back to you can tilt and roll it over to wherever you want to empty it. Aside from my high speed scanner, this one of my favorite purchases ever. Dont waste your money on a top loader where the paper sits upright in a feeder, like a printer, just get one of these. Either size would be superior to any other shredder function in this price range. I’ve had it for 1 1/2 years now and I’ve still been feeding boxes and boxes of paper into it. It’s still going strong. I love this thing!!

Totally awesome! I had 20 years of files in my attic with account numbers and personally identifiable information that I did not want to just discard. This looks like the cheapest shredder that shreds into a bag. My wife and daughter thought I was nuts, but in two weeks, in my spare time, I filled 25 eight gallon bags with tiny pieces of paper. It should go through staples, but I removed them all anyway to spare the cutters. Just place up to 200 sheets in the auto feeder and walk away! Then change bags when it signals the bag is full. After all that, it still runs like new. I just junked my old shredder that I will never use again. The only thing I did not like is my recycling center refused to take the paper-it had to go into landfill.

Very good shredder worth the cost. Cut up seven huge leaf bags of old files. The auto feed is very useful in not having to sit there feeding the machine with handfuls of paper. Took me two days of intense feeding the machine only because I don’t like letting staples go through the machine and there was a LOT. Had no stopping due to overheating only stopping because the hopper was full. Not the fastest shredder but the micro cut is so fine. I didn’t let the machine stop that much so it goes to how strong the motor is.

I hate shredding. It's loud. It takes forever. And it requires constant attention. What a waste of time. When our old shredder gave up the ghost and I saw that it was possible to get shredders with automatic feed, my eyes lit up. But then they narrowed suspiciously. Because that sounds like the sort of thing that breaks easily. I looked at several models, and this is the one I settled on. It does a fantastic job of shredding. And the automatic feed works. I went through an eight-inch stack of paper in a few hours. That stack built up over the course of years because of how much we hate shredding at our house. It's been looming over us, growing slowly, a constant nagging reminder of unfinished projects. And now... it's just... gone. We are free! That's just about the strongest endorsement I can possibly give this shredder. Overall, the noise is quieter and lower pitched than the old shredder... not exactly pleasant, but much less grating. There is also a sensor to detect when the bin is full. Not realizing that the bin was full led to the death of the old shredder in the event now known as the Great Confetti Disaster of 2024. As far as drawbacks, there are only a couple. You can still feed pretty much anything manually, like a regular shredder. But the automatic feed is very fussy. You will auto-feed only 8.5 x 11 pages under a certain paper weight. Legal size paper? Nope. Thick paper? Nope. And it will occasionally fail to grab an oddly-creased page and just spin. So I don't recommend leaving it completely unattended. But it's not as loud as our old, much smaller shredder, so you put 200 pages in, close the top, pop in some earbuds, and go back to work listening for it to stop when done, or the sounds of spinning but not grinding if it can't get a page. That happened 2-3 times in what was probably around 2,000 pages. Maybe it'll break easily tomorrow, but it hasn't yet, and that was a trial by fire. The most significant drawback is the bin. The shredded bits are truly tiny. That's not the drawback. That's exactly what you want from a shredder. But the shredded bits have volume. Our shredding filled two 30-gallon trash bags completely. And the tiny bits are small and light enough to take flight in any breeze. Or no breeze. The bin has lots of hooked plastic bits on it that seem highly optimized to the task of destroying trash bags. Through which the teeny tiny shredded bits can and do easily escape. So don't try to put the bin inside a trash bag and empty it that way unless you need a flexible sieve. Just empty the bin with a vacuum cleaner handy, preferably with someone else to hold the bag open. The shredded bits seem like they would make decent insulation or possibly stuffing. However, they also seem like they would make excellent tinder, so don't empty this shredder near open flame. Shredding also seems to create some fine dust that tend to poof into the air when you remove the bin, so it's possible that you may inhale some of your shredded papers when you empty the bin. It smells like victory!

​The Aurora AU120MB 120-Sheet Auto Feed Shredder is a game-changer for anyone who deals with high volumes of paperwork. The standout feature is, without a doubt, the 120-sheet automatic feeder. Instead of standing over the machine feeding small stacks manually, you can simply load a pile of documents into the tray and walk away. It handles the entire stack smoothly, allowing you to get back to more important tasks. ​The micro-cut technology provides a high level of security, turning sensitive documents into tiny, unreadable particles. This offers much better peace of mind compared to standard cross-cut models. Despite its powerful performance, it operates with a relatively quiet motor, making it a great fit for a home office or a shared workspace

I don’t write many reviews. This shredder is review worthy. I have had it for 3 years now. It is by far the best shredder I have ever had. It is still performing perfectly! Before this shredder, I had many that were constantly clogging and had to be emptied way too often. I had no idea a shredder could perform as well as this one does. It has far exceeded my expectations. One of my favorite features is being able to load stacks of papers to shred and walk away. Highly, highly recommend!!

Very disappointed in this very expensive shredder. You can only shred 200 pages at a time if every single page is pristine without any bend whatsoever. So basically, it can’t. Moreover, you cannot see when it is shredding paper inside. You can only hear - not see, if shredding. Plus you hear shredding noise even if no paper is actually shredding. So after a lot of “shredding noise” you can open the lid and find all your papers still there. In addition, this shredder is extremely heavy! All in all, I can’t use the shredder to shred the advertised 200 pages at once, and you can’t watch whether the shredding is actually happening. I am returning this very expensive dud.

Best Shredder I have ever owned, very quite as well. Really like the feature where you can insert a large stack of papers to be shredded and just walk away.

excelnete producto a pezar de lo pequeño que es

muy buen equipo. me ha funcionado muy bien.

Very quiet while it churns away. I was impressed by its capacity yet it was so quiet, I had to check if it was actually shredding the paper!

works like advertised. A work horse
