Review on Bonsaii C170-C: 12-Sheet Cross Cut Paper Shredder for Home Use - Efficient Document and Credit Card Shredding in Black by Greg Birchfield

Revainrating 4 out of 5

So far so good with office electronics

I've had enough shredders in my life to know that when advertised as a 12 sheet shredder it never loads more than 5 or 6 sheets at a time. I agree. I use this at home to shred old bills, bank statements, etc. Not much use in my house. After each use, I take the tweezers and gently pull out ANY piece of paper that is still stuck in the blades. There were a lot, but I made it. Running backwards also helps clean the blades. I've only had this for 2 days. No complaints yet. Actually a little quieter than I expected. I use 4 gallon trash bags to easily get rid of shredded documents. I had a bigger bin so I didn't have to empty it as often, but oh well.

Pros
  • home shredders accept documents (up to 12 sheets at a time) and convert personal documents and personal information into 13/64 x 1-49/64 inch cross-sections, which is more secure than shredding of strips of paper.
Cons
  • Speed
