Bonsaii 15-Sheet Cross-Cut 40-Min Heavy Duty Paper Shredder for Home Office

Perfect for composting! I really wanted to shred cardboard instead of wetting and cutting. This guy's first job was to shed it's own corrugated shipping carton, and it didn't disappoint. The thin amazon boxes are even faster. The machine doesn't complain or overheat for two regular sized boxes. I haven't done more than that at one time. It's serious overkill for regular paper, unless you're shedding a lot of it. It's actually a lot quieter than my small paper shredder. It's light weight, so i don't bother with the drawer, just tip the whole thing over into my storage tub. The machine part is the heaviest but it's not bad. Edit to add: It's been almost a year and the shredder is still doing great. It's absolutely wonderful to have the perfectly sized cardboard shreds I can add directly to the compost pile when I need quick browns. The machine hasn't slowed down yet.

First off, this works on cardboard. I couldn't find that in any of the reviews, so I'll just park that little factoid right up front. You're welcome. Listen. I don't write product reviews. I don't sit around and talk about shredders and office products. I raise worms and make compost as a hobby, and my partner orders things from Amazon. A lot. I love her. I have an old Royal shredder I got like a decade ago from Sam's Club. I use it to shred old bills once a year or so, and it gets grumpy. It's always gotten grumpy. This is not a new development. I've started using it to shred cardboard for composting and for my worms, and it gets grumpier. So, there was a sale, and I bought this bad boy. When it got here and I unpacked it, my partner had 3 of her own Amazon boxes arrive. I also had several boxes around from prior orders I hadn't managed to shred yet, because the old grumpy shredder couldn't run for more than 2 or 3 minutes without stopping to cool. To be fair, I live in Texas, and it's July. I need to cool off after shredding for 3 minutes. Still. I got this monster out of the box and plugged it in and tried to see if regular cardboard would fit without pushing like crazy, and it did. But you already knew that. Awesome. It's a little slower than my old shredder, but it didn't change speed when it was between feedings. It just goes. It's like the tortoise in the fable. I wonder how much this thing will take. 35 gallons. I made 35 gallons of shredded cardboard. I made a little over 20, at first, with just the regular wimpy Amazon boxes. Never. Slowed. Down. Also, when it takes a break and is waiting for you to feed it, or empty the rapidly filling bucket, or squee with joy to your partner, it has a pleasant little fan noise. It's just pacing itself. I bought a bedroom TV during Prime Day sales, I wonder what it'll do with the double thick box they shipped that in? It slowed down. The tiniest, barely perceptible amount, but it did slow down. It made 3 cubic feet of cross cut sheds out of it. I wonder what it'll do with that old double thick cardboard they shipped my computer in? It made a million little confettis out of it.* Long story short, this thing is a beast. Do not buy this to shred something once a week. Do but buy this to shred one household of mail. Buy this to shred every bill you've ever received. Buy this to erase any record of your existence. Buy this to shred the patriarchy, and to make your worms a year's worth of bedding. You will not be disappointed, unless you like waiting for shredders that need to rest. Then, you'll be bummed for about an hour. I put cardboard through this thing for 30 minutes, only stopping to find more cardboard. It never blinked. BRB, I have to ask the neighbors for their cardboard. And 2 x 4s. *I did not count.

I have had 3 other shredders, this is the best one I have had. It actually runs itself in reverse when I am done feeding paper through it which cleans the "teeth" out. It handles several sheets of paper at one time. Rather than having to lift the heavy "head" to empty the shreds the shred container is something like a deep drawer which you can pull out to empty the shreds. I highly recommend this shredder above any other that I have used.

Works well. Fairly quiet for a small shredder.

It is a very Good Product. I really like it to much. It’s durable and reliable. Thanks to Amazing Service.THANK YOU AGAIN AMAZON!

Shredder is compact and easy to use. You can shred a lot of paper without jamming or overheating. Excellent for home or small business use.

For the price this product is amazing. For home use the noise is not to bad. It’s very easy and heavy duty and smooth but since I just got it jamming resistance and longevity will have to be judged later. If you do not miss use it this should go beyond 5 stars.

Powerful multi-page shredder. Bought one when I needed to clean out my parents' home after they passed. 30 years of files, mostly unnecessary to keep, gone in about a week with a couple hours per day of sustained effort. It took staples and credit cards really well. Always able to clear the minor jams that inevitably occur when you will stuff too much in one go. Easy to use. Bin was well-sized for emptying into full-size trash bags. Excellent value; would buy again! But it didn't break yet.

Not a great paper sensor, alot of the time i have to put the paper in and out before the shredder senses it and starts... there is definitely a lag. and it Incredibly SLOW. The slot is deep before it hits the teeth so if you have small scraps like grocery receipts, its not great. it also back spins everytime it stops, and then takes forever to read the next sheet of paper (in out in out .. finally, it reads it) On the positive, i use it mainly for cardboard and so far it chews it up nicely (still a bit snug fitting the cardboard in the slot, but it fits). i havent had it over heat yet either
