Review on Aurora AU1800XA Crosscut Shredder with Anti-Jam Technology, CD and Credit Card Shredding/6-Gallon Pullout Basket, 30-Minute Continuous Run Time by Drew Panah

Revainrating 5 out of 5

We are completely satisfied.

A few years ago we threw away the paper shredder. We had a diary with old vital records that had to be destroyed. Now it's done. The car was easy to clean and lubricate. As recommended, I used a synthetic non-flammable aerosol lubricant. Its sight glass on the side of the bin is very practical, easy to see and much appreciated. But besides, if it overflows, the sensor will see it and shut the engine off for you. What ruined the old one was ignorance of all the above needs. But the teeth in this one are also stronger and sharper. Its feeding slot feels intuitive in design, so it takes less effort to feed than the old one we had. Before you pull out the funnel, you can move the grinder forward a little to clean its teeth. This will prevent loose parts from falling when the bin is removed. Pulling out the bin also cuts power to the motor, which is a very nice safety feature that could solve the distraction problem in the future.

Pros
  • Pretty packaging
Cons
  • Sad packaging
