Review on ✂️ GBC Paper Shredder SX16-08 (1758495D) – Jam Free, 16 Sheet Capacity, Cross-Cut: Ideal for 1-5 Users by Collin Jackson

Whole envelopes require more power

This is a top-of-the-line paper shredder. No worries here. I do shred junk mail though, usually whole envelopes at a time. For envelopes of medium thickness or even slightly thicker, you need to hold down the "Forward" button, which will tear them. The usual method, the auto-shred function, detects the thickness of the envelope and does not shred. However, pressing the "Forward" button will soon bring up the "Bin Full" indicator. To continue grinding, you need to open the trash can and clean the cutter heads. A simple process, but annoying. For general shredding, many pages at a time for example, I would expect this to be an excellent shredder, maybe even the best in its class. I bought a Swingline DX18-13 and it even handles two medium sized spam envelopes at once with no problem!
