bonsaii 12-Sheet Micro Cut Shredders for Home Office, 60 Minute P-4 Security Level Paper Shredder for CD, Credit Card, Mails, Staple, Clip, with Jam-Proof System & 4.2 Gal Pullout Bin C266-B

I’m loving this shredder!!! My old shredder broke a few weeks ago, so I went on a search for a replacement. I looked at several different models, watched multiple videos and read multiple reviews to help me make a decision. I’m not disappointed with my choice. In fact, I’m thrilled! It handles multiple pages without hesitation. With my old shredder, when shredding junk mail that was more than one piece of paper in an envelope, I had to open the envelope and shred each page separately. Now with this new shredder, I can feed a thick junk mail envelope though it all at once and it shreds without hesitation. It shreds into small bits which provides more security than my precious shredder that produced thin strips. The shredder basket pulls out from the front which makes it easier and safer to use. It shuts off automatically after it completes the shredding. The noise level is not too bad. My old one was much louder. This shredder is a good value for the money and is excellent for home use. I highly recommend this shredder for anyone looking for a solid shredder for home use.

When I started using this shredder, it was a lot bigger then what I was use to. I work from home now and my old shredder kept jamming. This one looked like it would do a better job, so I tried it. The shredder is on wheels, so I can move it around under the desk or push it to the corner if I need more space. It takes a big stack of papers at once. I dont have to take out staples or paper clips, it just cuts right thru. Sometimes I shred old bills, other times I shred junk mail, even some old CDs. The machine is pretty quiet, it doesn’t disturb me when I am on the phone. When the bin gets full, I just pull it out and dump it. One thing I noticed is there is a little window so I can see when it needs emptying. I haven’t had it jam yet, even with thick piles. The shredder runs long enough to clear up a lot of old papers before it needs to cool down.

I had problems with removal of the waste basket, I didn't want to force it, but since I apparently was the only customer that had this problem, I "somewhat" forced it open. What I found was a burr from the manufacturing process that was impinging the removal. Once I took a nail file and filed the burr it was smooth going from then on. I want to thank those individuals who took the time to respond to my question.

I had bought a cheap Amazon Basics shredder before this one -- it was slow and overheated right away. I returned it.This time I decided to spend the money for a better one, and I'm very happy with the product. It handles a nice (small) handful of paper at a time without slowing down as cheap shredders do, makes nice small shreds, and fills the bucket densely so I don't have to keep emptying it. I went through a 4" pile of paper in 15 minutes without stopping or having to empty the bucket. It has a fan so it will run a long time without having to stop and let it cool down.I highly recommend spending the extra money for this shredder (or equivalent) if you shred piles of paper at a time. If you're looking for a shredder to put alongside your desk to shred one or two sheets at a time, a cheap one will do. This one will let you shred a file box full of paper in one or two sessions, and won't take all day to do it.

I am very pleased with this micro-cut shredder for my daily home use. It is well made, has a sturdy pull-out basket, and simple & effective controls. It is surprisingly quiet, & after each shred batch, a fan at the back runs a short time to cool the shredder. I have not pushed it to the max, but used it for 50 minutes, max 10 sheets (I did not try 12 sheets or the full 60 minutes)), & it did great. It did struggle a bit at 50 minutes as the motor noise increased somewhat. I suggest staying to the 85% the product manual suggests with a few exceptions. It gobbled up envelopes of junk mail & made tiny chips out of two credit cards. If it holds up well, which only time will tell, I will no longer miss my old Fellowes 60cs that died at 12 years.

I have used this to shred papers and expired credit cards. So far it has performed beautifully. As I have only had it a short time I will update this review if necessary. I also purchased the sheets to “clean” shredder, but have not used them yet. I have used it for about 45 minutes straight without any overheating. It is surprisingly quiet. The shredder I had before was much noisier and didn’t have as large a capacity. I also shredded a few pages that were stapled together and held my breath—no problem!
