14-Sheet Paper Shredder for Home Office Use, 10-Minute Cross Cut Shredder with 5.5 Gallons Bin, P-4 High Security Heavy Duty Office Shredder Shred CD/Credit Card

What an unexpected little BEAST this machine is!! For the price, this was an absolute bargain. High quality, heavy duty, does the job and looks neat and tidy in the corner. I bought it to shred cardboard for my garden compost. Hey, remember when shredders used to clog up on a few sheets of paper? LOL not this little guy! Chomping up cardboard like nothing. Now, it’s not a speed shredder like shoving one single sheet into a big office shredder but it’s still pretty fast and a whole hell of a lot faster than me doing anything with a box cutter. I went through several boxes within minutes without it overheating or anything. The first run, I produced 2+ bins of shredded cardboard without taking a break. The next day for the second run, I shredded some slightly damp cardboard and that made it overheat more quickly - I feel like that’s maybe not recommended lol. For best results, I ripped the tape and labels off of the boxes first. And tore them into more digestible sized pieces. I’m sure the shredder could handle whatever I threw at it but 1) the plastic tape can’t be good for the compost and 2) I didn’t want to deal with a jamming shredder.

Apr 2023 Update: 6+ months and this thing is still going strong! Just bought shredder oil sheets for the first time ever because how durable it's been! Original Review: So far this is the best shredder I've ever owned by a wide margin! Glad I spent a little bit more money on a much higher quality product (I got the 10min one too), this is the best bang for your buck! I've had a few shredders before in the ~$40 range (mostly Staples ones) that broke pretty quickly -- this one really doesn't cost that much more, comparatively. They'd only be able to do like 5 sheets (nowhere near 12) and eventually plastic bits would start falling out of the insides and it would stop working. If you put in like 4 sheets and folded one accidentally, those would jam immediately. Then the jams would be hard to clear and could damage the shredder. Or you'd run it for like a minute and it would start overheating already and start malfunctioning. So far, with this shredder, in a few weeks' time period, I already shredded more than I have in the past 5 years combined. Probably did like ~10,000 sheets of lots of old documents. That's how much of a powerhouse this shredder is compared to all the other ones I've owned previously! So it's been easily worth the money already as it has outlasted the others that would start malfunctioning at ~1,000 sheets. It's also never jammed on me! I've never tried 12 sheets on it, but it'll do 6 sheets no problem, whereas my previous shredders would start falling apart -- literally -- if you tried 6 sheets. And this thing can run for like an hour without overheating! Like I get tired out and I have to take a break well before it overheats. Whereas with previous ones, I'd spend like 2 minutes and already had to wait for it to cool down. Now the bottleneck isn't the shredder, but me! Also, because it's been so durable so far, I'm no longer afraid of shredding things here and there, worried that the shredder might suddenly break. Sometimes I shred some old documents as a therapeutic, meditative activity now -- shred your worries away xD It also holds more paper than my previous shredders before I have to clean it out. And while it is taller than I expected, that surprisingly made it more ergonomic so I didn't have to lean over as much while shredding. As some reviewers have noted, when I got it I did check the insides and did see some bits of shredded paper. That seemed sketchy, but it does say on the note that comes with it that they "test every shredder" and so that's why you might see some leftover bits. And honestly, even if it is used, it's outlasted my previous shredders by a 10x margin already, so it's good quality stuff either way. So, overall, well worth the price, best bag for my buck I've had with a shredder. Bonsaii also has a 1-year warranty (and the reviews seem to say that they've made good on that too!), which is why I originally bought it with my past shredder purchases going awry. But I guess it's as they say, if a company is confident in such a long warranty, the product probably isn't going to break quickly! Hoping to have this last for many more years :)

Excellent paper shredder and CD shredder. Does the job efficiently and quickly. High value for the price, easy to clean. Only one drawback: the storage compartment for the shredded material is small, and it requires me to change the bag almost every two days. Apart from that, an excellent product

So far the documents we have shredded have been impossible for anyone to reconstruct. Great news if you have stuff to hide and pretty good news if you just don't want to be the victim of identity theft. We only shred a few pages at a time and it works great. No issues with paper size, and its not silent but its not as noisy as some shredders. Would not want to do volumes of files but small pages here and there is great. Its the size of a small waste basket. Works as advertised or better.

I bought this paper shredder to replace one that had given up the ghost. I've had it about a month, and I've been very pleased with the purchase. It's a good, sturdy model, and a convenient size that easily fits under my desk, and shreds multiple pieces of paper for without losing power. I have not tested it at 12 papers at a time, but it easily chews through 5-7 pieces with no difficulty. Definitely worth the money!

I shred everything. This is my 3rd shredder and it works like a charm. Motor is strong and you can shred more than a few pages. Perfect for my home office. https://amzn.to/4kbd3wt

Works great. Hasn't overheated at all, or jammed, going through 30 years worth of documents that needed shredding. I had a different vrand 10 years ago but it was nowhere near as hewvy duty as this. One of the best purchases for my home office.

The shredder is nice. It works OK you cannot put very many pieces of paper and they’re at a time or it gets bogged down so two or three pieces of paper is about all you can force feed not as advertised. But it still worked OK

Amazing VFM. My old shredder kept jamming, so I ordered this and it whizzed through, much faster than expected. The capacity is great and the whole thing set up quickly so I was able to start shredding instanly. Perfect for my home office

Love this shredder! The conatiner is bigger than the average 4 gallon. It is super quiet and shreds like a dream (very tiny pieces) . But I specially love that it has a handle, which makes it so much easier to lift the top. I put a garbage bag in the bin and it's so easy to empty! I haven't tried to shred more than 4 sheets at once and it does that with ease. Perfect for my needs.

La verdad, no cumole lo que dice, solo aceora dos hojas y ya trabajabdo un rato ( 2 horas ) se empieza a atorar y a detener....

Buenísimo

Me encantó, ya lo utilice y tritura perfectamente las hojas de papel .
