Review on Amazon Basics 8-Sheet Strip-Cut πŸ“„ Shredder for Papers, CDs, and Credit Cards by Brandon Woodson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not Recommended: Chopper

This is my first Revain review but I feel it is necessary given my dissatisfaction with this product. I would not recommend this product if you shred documents on a weekly basis. I have been using this paper shredder for home use for 2 months. Maybe 10-20 articles a week. I've found that the paper often jams and for some reason I can't put the document in the middle of the shredder, I have to fold it and insert it on one of the sides. I've spent more time clinging to the documents I'm stuck on. I only bought this chopper because I didn't want to spend more money than others and I found the reviews to be decent. Before this shredder I had another one that lasted 10 years and never gave me any problems but sadly died. Advantages - small/compact, easy to store - price. Cons - he says he can destroy 8 papers at once, but I don't believe it. Maybe the first 2 or 3 times but after that the documents won't shred anymore or you have to keep pressing the forward/back buttons to shred them. At first I put 3-4 sheets in at a time and everything was fine, but now I just shred one sheet of paper and it gets stuck.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No Instructions
