BONSEN Shredders for Home Office, 8-Sheet Cross Cut Credit Card Shredder, Small Paper Shredder for Home Use with 4 Gal Bin, P-4 High Security Level, White (S3101-W)

This is a great shredder. It’s a perfect size and what I like the most about it is that the shredded pieces are small so I don’t have to keep emptying it all the time like I did my old one that I had for many years you can also shred multiple papers without it getting jammed. I can’t think of one negative thing to say about it.

Just got it today and already in use ! Has a little bit of a weird smell but , I suppose that's cause it's new. So far so good ! I like the size- not to small and not to big. I think the bucket part is a great size. I am my mom's P.O.A and going through papers that are like 100 years old. Papers with my dads name on them and he's been gone for awhile now. Pretty quiet for what it's doing. The noise doesn't bug me. Most of all mt cat is getting a kick out watching the papers go down that's a plus. East to put it together - great instructions.

I originally bought the Amazon Basics paper shredder to replace my very 15+ y/o shredder that broke apart. Had to return it and the replacement had the same issues. This one actually works and is more quiet than the AB one, which sounded and smelled like it was going to explode.I shredded two 30-35 gallon bags worth in a couple days and didn't have any issues. I did add oil after the bin was full (compressed to the line).A couple draw backs is that one has to press feed the paper in. I assume this is a safety feature but I'm not used to this so kept wondering why the paper wasn't shredding and had to push it further. The feeder opening is small and deep so when I oiled, I'd get oil on the top opening face and end up needing to wipe it off. Lastly, one knows this going in but like so many things these days, it's plastic. The top is heavy and I can see if one clumsy that perhaps the top gets dropped onto the bin and the bin cracks or the whole things gets tipped; my old one was better balanced between the top and bottom.

Love it. Works great got the job done.

Recd on time works great

Works well does the job.

Easy to operate

No problems!! I don't go over the 4 minute continual use recommendation, and haven't had a "burning" smell or stopping of shredder from being over used, that I've read others have experienced. I have sat and used for over half hour but not continually loading with documents during that period. Never had any problems doing that. While I think 10 papers is a bit much at once, machine seems to have a harder time doing that, I have put in up to 7-8 and machine works with no problems. While I've only had @ a month, I've eliminated all I've been saving in two days. Feeling better my paperwork can't get into the wrong hands with sensitive info. in them. Had cheaper shredders in past, but they burned out quick, even following recommendations. I think me and this one gonna be together much longer. Reasonably priced for my usage I believe! It jammed once, I hit reverse, then forward buttons...perfectly finished shredding! Very easy to put together and use immediately. I only use at home for personal papers. Bin does fill fast and I've had to empty few times to continue using, but again, its for my personal use and emptying bin allows cool down time to top piece which is shredder.
