Description of πŸ”’ Enhance Security with the Amazon Basics 8-Sheet High-Security Micro-Cut Shredder

Micro-cut shred size: turns paper into tiny confetti-like pieces measuring 5/32 by 15/32 inches (4 by 12 mm); meets high security level P-4 standards; shreds 6X smaller than standard cross-cut shredders (2,235 pieces vs. 360 pieces). Sheet capacity: shreds up to 8 sheets of 20-pound bond paper at a time (no need to remove staples or small paper clips); also destroys CDs, DVDs, and credit cards (one at a time, through dedicated slot). Run time and thermal protection: 5 minutes on / 30 minutes off; if shredder runs continuously beyond the max run time, it will automatically shut off to protect the motor from overheating. User-friendly design: 4-mode power switch (auto, off, reverse, forward); LED status indicators (bin full, door open, overload, overheat, power on); 8.7-inch paper-entry width; easy-to-empty 4-gallon pull-out bin; casters included. Support and warranty: please refer to the user manual, troubleshooting guide, and instructional video before use. Quality tested: as part of Amazon Basics quality inspections, we test every shredder before shipping it, which means you may see some paper shreds from the testing. Important Note: Do not spray or keep any aerosol products in or around the shredder and do not shred items like metallic credit cards. Important Note: Lubricant is used in the manufacturing process of the shredder engine. Sometimes residue remains and, when the shredder heats up, can cause a burning smell. This smell does not pose a safety risk and will stop after the residue wears off. As always, Amazon Basics is backed by a 1-year limited warranty.

Great shredder for the home - highly recommend this model

I've been using this for a few months (in my home office) and so far it's working great! Passes 6-8 sheets with no problems. Easily handles small staples, eliminating the need to remove them first. I put credit cards in with no problems. I think the confetti left is small enough to protect personal or confidential information. I've shredded several 35 gallon garbage bags full of old paperwork and they still work very well. I like the overheat protection and its ability to prevent stalling. Once

Not bad at all for the price.

Not bad. Pretty good. I wanted to shred in such a way that I feel like the shredded things are so small that it would be impossible to put them back together. This paper shredder does the job and delivers. He takes a sheet of paper and shreds it into over 1,000 tiny pieces. I've heard of paper shredders catching fire, but as long as you don't let it get hot and don't oil the blades every time you empty the bin, you shouldn't have a problem. I've had mail I wanted to shred for 5 years and this…

I use it for vermicomposting.

Good shredder. If it fits, then it rips. If it's stuck, turn it back and hit the side of the shredder head. It will return the object. If it does get stuck while shredding small parts, remove the cover secured with two screws from the underside of the shredding head. Shake your head until the pieces fall out of this slot. Or shoot with compressed air. Then run the machine in reverse for 30 seconds. This will make the engine warm. I cut each box of Revain into small strips, appliance boxes…

  • Office supplies
