Aurora AU875XA Paper and Credit Card Shredder with 3.7-Gallon Wastebasket, 8-Sheet Cross-Cut with Basket

Review after nine months of daily use: This is a small shredder for home or small office use. It works as advertised. In Amazon's review page, it asks the review to rate the noise level. It is a shredder. Shredders are loud. I don't know if there are "quiet" shredders out there, but for $30 or $40, I'm not going to complain about the noise level. Rule: Don't shred at night when everyone else in your family is asleep. It works reliably, cross-cuts the paper into acceptably small pieces (I see no point in strip-cut shredders), only jammed when I tried to test its paper handling limits, has a little window on the front to tell you when it's full, and is relatively easy to empty. Not a world-class shredder as shredders go, but for the money, perfect. So far . . .

My second shredder. Love it, but... Don't put plastic charges cards in: I had to buy a new shredder. Works great on paper products

Truly has stood the test of time. Purchased 4 years ago and has never failed. My previous shredder was bigger and cost 3xs more and failed twice.

This shredder was purchased to replace one of the same brand and basic style that was 10+ years old. Old one was fantastic, and was still running (plastic encasing blade failed, not the shredder motor or blades). In catching up my back log of shredding I've filled the bin 1.5 times already and have a good feel for it compared to the old one. Pros: Seems a bit quieter (not that I expect a shredder to be quiet). Shreds efficiently, and runs through more pages at a time than the old one. Cons: The old shredder had a flap over the input that you could open in case of a jam and access - which I had to do on more than one occasion. I'm sure it's due to safety, but if I can't unjam it at some point because of this, I will be very unhappy with this purchase. Second, the old one had a wider access for paper, meaning I could run very quickly run through my shred stack. This one is VERY narrow and takes precise aim to get the paper accepted, which makes this shredder less efficient than the old one despite taking more pages at a time, due to being slower about receiving the pages. Would I buy it again? In general this one seems to be pretty good, and I would buy it again if there wasn't a better option available. However, if I found another one like my old one, no I wouldn't buy this one again. Or if I discover this one doesn't have the longevity of my old one, no I wouldn't buy this one again. The old one was just superior, but this is a good second place.

Works great.

I've used this weekly for a few months, including a huge purge of old paystubs, checks, and receipts. It still performs as well as it did day 1. I have had one jam that was easily resolved. It is noisy when in use. This is my first personal shredder so not sure how it compares to others but worth mentioning. For the price it's not a deal breaker. Overall I'm happy with the purchase

I have been shredding lots of papers that I had accumulated for too long. This shedder is great; works easily for 2 - 3 minutes and then I let it cool for a half-hour. I haven't seen the Red light that indicates that the shredder is getting too hot, so no issues with the motor. All shredders make noise, but this one is quieter than my last one. I've used it for about a month now and I'm happy with this shredder.

Great for home use. It does everything as advertised.

Muy fácil de usar, el botesito se Llena rápido pero trabaja muy bien, las tarjetas también las troza sin Problema.

Just as expected. Compact quiet and easy to use

Excelente produto. Super recomendavel.

Shredder works great, awesome purchase

O produto chegou dentro do prazo e em boas condições, porém queimou no primeiro uso. O site não especificou a voltagem e o próprio equipamento não veio com a sinalização adequada. Não recomendo. Foram mais de 350 reais literalmente jogados no lixo.
