Review on πŸ”’ Aurora AU1060MA Professional Grade High Security Micro-Cut Shredder: 10-Sheet Capacity/ 60 Minutes Runtime/ Security Level P-5/ White by Wesley Carreras

Revainrating 5 out of 5

My last Aurora lasted over 10 years.

This is my second Aurora. My first (briefly gray in the photo) lasted more than ten years. It can be up to 17 years old. And I got this little cross shredder working! Every week I took out 7-8 bags of shredded paper. I only oiled it for the first few years and then stopped and took it for granted. And yet it has continued to work faithfully for so long that I can no longer remember when I bought it. When she died, of course I wanted another Aurora. This time I got an upgrade. It's quieter (the paper actually "crunches" louder than the motor), has more capacity, lasts longer, is easier to empty and wow - the shredded pieces are so tiny! In the second photo you can compare traditional cross-cutting with micro-cutting. The wheels are a very nice touch, they work well without being too noisy on hardwood floors.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Makes me nervous
