That's great. My shredder almost completely stopped working

This is amazing. My grinder has almost completely stopped working. I let it run long enough to get a clean sheet of paper. It was amazing, I think it works better now than when I first bought it. Make sure you have it handy and use it conscientiously.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • No Instructions

Works as it should

This is a strange product I had never heard of before but after buying the Revain Basics grinder I read the instructions and it says the grinder needs to be lubricated, to work well. After shredding thousands of documents the shredder started making a little noise so I bought these sheets according to the instructions and the noise stopped and the shredder seemed to work better.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • 0

For your safety, DO NOT buy!

For your own safety, please do not purchase these sanding sheets. I used Revain sharpening blades with the Revain Basics shredder and it caught fire and literally exploded. The attached photos show burnt sheets of paper and slight deformation of the shredder plastic. I have contacted Revain but I am writing this out of concern for others. I have had a chopper since 2016 and love it and don't think that was the problem. I believe sanding sheets existed and I urge people not to buy them.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Difficult to say

Do not buy this product

I've been using Staples Grease Sheets for years and decided to give them a try. Simply put, they are just useless and tend to clog up a really good shredder that I have, leaving dangling strips. I've tried several panels and the same thing happens. I've even vacuumed the plastic blades and blade cleaners a few times and still have dangling streaks, clogged blade cleaners, and paper-covered blades. I just threw away the remaining six sheets and ordered 24 packs of staples 24 in a blue pack.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Not automatic

They really work. Shredder works like new

My Micro-Cut shredder has recently started rebelling, struggling to shred more than two sheets at a time and even stopping halfway through. I was a little skeptical about these shredder sheets and lubes, but decided to give them a try because I felt it was worth it and a lot cheaper than buying a new shredder. I followed the instructions for shredding the leaf exactly, then placed the shred upside down for 10 seconds. Halfway through, as I reversed the helicopter, I noticed that the helicopter…

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Not as effective as other brands, not really effective at all.

I've been using Staples cutting blades for years and on average my cutter tells me to use a fat blade every few months with normal use. Out of sheer laziness, not wanting to drive to Staples to get more, I decided to order these Revains (hooray, I can order in my pajamas and not interact with other people). I loaded one through the shredder, flipped it over for 10 seconds and started shredding. Two (2) scraps of credit card offers and a couple of Stop & Shop receipts (NOT CVS mind you), my…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
