Review on Aurora AS810SD Strip-Cut Paper, CD, and Credit Card Shredder with 8-Sheet Capacity & Spacious Basket for Efficient Shredding by Alexander Scharon

Revainrating 5 out of 5

First impression: so far so good.

I just received this grinder and I like it for my needs. I've never owned a paper shredder, but sometimes there are items that can be personally identified that need to be shredded. I've copied them by hand before and that's fine, but it only works for a few pages and is pretty inaccurate. I work in the medical field and now I have patient files when I get home at the end of the day and I want to shred those files without taking them back to the hospital or using their shredders. That would be ideal for that, no more than 2 or 3 pages a day + spam etc. I prefer the small size, because I find large paper shredders disgusting. I can hide it and pull it out when I need it. I've posted some photos of the chopper's relative size. It has a transparent basket that shows when it's full. It turns on but only works when paper is fed through the slot. It must be folded along the long axis, otherwise it will not fit. I haven't tried to test the full power of this device as I don't need it, I don't do bulk milling. The resulting pieces are good and small, and only the most diligent criminals will attempt to reconstruct these papers. The manual states that "never use plastic, continuous forms, anything that contains glue, including labels and envelopes, newsprint, or other hard materials,

Pros
  • Durable test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
