Review on ๐Ÿ”ช Aurora AS1018CD 10-Sheet Cross-Cut Shredder with Basket - Efficient Paper, Credit Card, and CD Destruction in Black by Cheri Greene

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Worked well (2 years)

I'm a realist and don't expect these "disposable" imported electronics to last very long so I'm not too upset that this shredder died after 2 years of use (RIP, January 2010 - March 2012). After opening the machine and rummaging around for a few minutes, I discovered that the cause of death was a blown LED bulb, which acts as a sensor that triggers the shredder when paper is fed into the slot. It's a bit disappointing that this small detail is the machine's Achilles' heel, but that's how it is. This shredder worked well as long as it lived. I work in the video industry so I needed a shredder that could shred DVDs of old projects. This did the work and of course shredded plain paper, business cards and credit cards. I would consider buying this model again and maybe just doing it. if I can't figure out how to re-solder the tiny LED sensors.

Pros
  • Great price
