Review on Aurora AU870MA High-Security 8-Sheet Micro-Cut Paper Credit Card Shredder Black: Protect Your Confidential Information with Ease! by Michael Schafer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very good shredder for home/office

This is a good paper shredder for home and home office use. I have purchased many paper shredders over the years and the Aurora shredders have worked well and are reasonably priced. Micro cutting is required, otherwise the shredder is ineffective. But many micro-slicing shredders are either too small (quickly overheat) or too big (for commercial use). It's a good size to place under a table or desk. This is the average consumption. Several hundred pages would be possible, but then it should cool down within a few minutes. So not for people who shred tons of paper at once. Nice that he has a narrow basket. Most paper shredders have a squarer pull-out bin, while this one is narrower so the contents can be easily thrown into a small bin liner without spilling anything. I throw it in a paper bag so I can throw it all in the paper recycling bin. If you are shredding more than one ream of paper at a time, purchase larger paper from a supplier in your local office. Otherwise this is a good device. By the way, mine stopped working after 10 months. The engine stopped a few seconds after switching on. Customer service was excellent and they sent the new one without the hassle of sending the old one back.

Pros
  • High security micro cutter with 8 sheets capacity; shreds credit cards
Cons
  • Slightly shredded
