Very good home office document shredder

I bought this grinder 3 months ago. I like it! I was looking for something simple for my home office. Advantages: - Instead of cutting vertically ("strip cutโ€), this shredder shreds sheets both horizontally and vertically ("cross cutโ€). Instead of having several long pieces of paper spaghetti, you end up with several small pieces of spaghetti and it's much harder for someone to infer the original contents. - Automatic mode: the shredder starts automatically when a sheet is inserted (thisโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Operating time and thermal protection: 7 minutes on / 30 minutes off; If the grinder runs continuously beyond the maximum runtime, it switches off automatically to protect the motor from overheating
Cons
  • No form required

Excellent mill; Better than expected.

PROS: First let me talk about the high quality and well built aspects of this paper shredder. I've seen other reviews and personally I think the bin (base/bin) is well made. He had no problem getting it to me safe and sound. I've tested it and it can easily shred 15-16 sheets of plain copy paper and maybe 12 sheets of thicker resume paper. I personally use it for shredding cardboard. (with all the crates I can get from Revain and/or the store, they're great for shredding cardboard) and thenโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Sheet Count: Shreds up to 12 sheets of 20 lb bond paper at once; Also shreds credit cards (one per slot), staples or small paper clips
Cons
  • No paint required

Bigger than it looks and more powerful!

For years I've used a full size shredder, a micro shredder and now this guy. At the moment this is the best option. For starters, if you need a paper shredder for continuous use, you won't find it here. If you need to grind for many hours, you've spent the money on a full-size commercial grinder. On the other hand, if you occasionally destroy a contract or a credit card statement, that is perfectly sufficient. I tested this shredder as soon as I received it because I bought it to shred a largeโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Cut to Length: Converts paper into 3/16" x 1-9/16" (5 x 40 mm) confetti-like pieces; meets P-3 safety standards
Cons
  • Out of fashion

Effective, but can benefit criminals. Some improvements

This is a pretty good car. Very easy to process, but permanent. The first job I did for this shredder was a ten inch stack of documents and some closed documents, some of which were quite thick. The children even helped me because I opened up very thick because I was afraid of jamming the machine. The machine worked reasonably well and produced 9 full buckets of shredded paper. Many documents were stapled in the top corner and the shredder chewed through them with no problem. I actually loadedโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Important note. Do not spray or store aerosol products in or around the grinder, and do not grind metal objects such as credit cards.
Cons
  • Weight
