Amazon Basics 12-Sheet Cross-Cut Paper and Credit Card Shredder with Overheat Protection, Black (New Model)

Excellent shredder. Excellent value. Durable, easy to use, and highly functional after several months of light to moderate usage. Recommend only 3-4 sheets at a time to insure against paper jams and strain on cutting motor.

I've been very happy with this shredder. It's compact enough for my home office but powerful enough to handle paper and credit cards without any issues. The cross-cut shredding gives me confidence that sensitive information is being completely destroyed. It is a little louder than I expected, but honestly, as long as it shreds everything thoroughly, I don't mind the noise. It's easy to use, reliable, and a great value for the price. Definitely a worthwhile purchase!

I was a little worried about the quality because of how affordable this shredder was, but just like the other Amazon Basics products I have purchased, it has not let me down. It works great for normal paper and can even shred a credit card offer while it is still inside the envelope. It does struggle a little when doing that, but if you remove the card and shred it separately from the envelope, it works flawlessly. I have owned it for about six months and have already filled and emptied the bin around 15 times, which is a lot of paper for normal home use. So far, it has not jammed or failed me. For the price, this has been an excellent purchase. It is simple, reliable, and does exactly what I need it to do.

Works very good. Strong motor. But, some shreds stay in the cutter blade assembly. A bit top heavy, easy to knock over.

Works well and handles most shredding of incidentals; not built for heavy or sustained use. The head will clog up if you don't empty the bucket when it is full

This shredder does the job. It leaves almost dust instead of strips of paper like my old shredder did. It's a quality product and the price is affordable.

This is perfect for home or just as a small office shredder at your desk. I’ve used it for both. If you need to shred the credit card offers you get in the mail, this is highly effective. And if you have documents you occasionally need to shred in the office and the company shredder is not nearby, this is perfect. Note that this is a small budget friendly shredder, and it is highly effective if you use it as such. If you need to do a lot of shredding everyday, this probably isn’t for you. The size is really nice, and I actually like it better than the shredder I keep at home. Thinking if taking the home shredder to the office instead,

I needed to buy a new shredder after burning out the motor on the last one we had (yes, it was old, I had a big bag of papers to get rid of, and should've known better!). The Amazon's Choice icon for this one caught my eye, and the discounted price and good reviews had me dropping it in my cart right away. This economical shredder is super for quickly shredding old credit cards and expired insurance or membership cards that might have personal info embedded in them, even though it handles only one at a time. It's noisy, but efficient, and has overload and overheat lights to warn when the 3 minutes of shred time is up. My main problem is probably more operator error than not--I tried to shred 4 pages of 8" x 11" papers, but they kept getting pulled over to one side, which then partially jammed the shredder blades. I still had the same problem if I didn't hold onto the very top of the papers with a couple of fingers to be sure they didn't scrunch up, and since it shreds faster with fewer pages, I usually just do 2 pages at a time. The shredder part is impressively sturdy, and fits well on top of the basket; the handle is a nice feature for picking it up to move the whole unit. I definitely recommend this handy shredder for not just the security, but also the quality.

I haven't had it long, but it's been working well so far. It's fairly quiet (at least compared to my old 8-sheet shredder) and fast. This product has good value. I like that there is a handle available to remove the top (shredder/motor) part and an option to just keep running it in forward motion in addition to a reverse mode in that can help with running it to get it cleaned out. Sometimes running in reverse can cause a jam. The size is generally quite practical in not filling too fast but not taking over a room either. It seems that it can run for a long time without cutting out due to overheating, but it will do that which I consider a plus versus burning it out.

Amazon 6-Sheet Criss-Cut Paper Office Shredder is exactly as described. This is a powerful machine and dies the job well. It has no more noise than previous shredders except it is more powerful. It fits nicely in a corner of the room near our printer. Overall very pleased and yes, this home machine is a worthwhile investment, plus, price is right!

Cunple con lo que ofrece. Funcional y ocupa poco espacio.

Picked this shredder because it was amongst the cheapest for a 12+ sheet shredder at my time of purchase and had a dedicated CD/Card shredder slot which was important to me to ensure they don't create unevenness in the main shredder teeth. Have used it for a while now and no complaints though there are a few nice to haves in a future model. There is pretty much no garbage bag that will fit in the tray unless its extremely large. Also would have been nice to have some shredder oil come with it. Have tried to avoid sticky stuff but it will shred bristol board, envelopes, padded envelopes, amazon paper packaging, single ply cardboard. Haven't had any signs of it slowing down yet. need to hold the forward and backward buttons to activate manual mode with a slight delay. Only real con is the 30 minute run time, would have been nice to have one hour.

After reading the reviews, I was carefully optimistic about this purchase. We have a small business and we had a lot of historical paperwork to shred. I wanted an automatic document feed shredder and this one fit the bill. In the 5 days since receiving the Amazon shredder, I have shredded stacks of paper. The automatic document feed works great. I put in stapled and unstapled pages, (I followed the directions and only placed the staples towards the front of the shredder) and so far no paper jams. The bin is a good size, I line it with a clear plastic bag to make bin changes easier/tidier. I can put in a stack of paper and leave the room, the shredder does the job while I'm gone.
