Aurora AU1800XA Crosscut Shredder with Anti-Jam Technology, CD and Credit Card Shredding/6-Gallon Pullout Basket, 30-Minute Continuous Run Time Review

Workhorse! We shred hundreds of pages every business day, dozens of pages at a time. He didn't break. We use oil leaves as needed, 1-2 times a month, and they help lubricate the "teeth" and keep them smooth. One star less because: The shopping cart fills up quickly. With the volume we have, the basket had to be emptied several times a day. It shouldn't be a problem if you're shredding less than 100 pages a day. Let me know if this is helpful or ask for more information.

It cuts 18 sheets with ease. I wanted a high performance shredder at a reasonable price and this is the right shredder. I wasn't expecting a quiet shredder in this price range, but it's quieter than the Amazon Basics 8-sheet shredder it replaced. I wouldn't call it "quiet" but the noise level is reasonable enough that I could use it from a sleeping toddler further down the hall. The bin slides in and out easily, and the extension on one side allows it to be tossed into a bin bag with good…

Do a lot of personal things from home. Always print out documents or useful information and then destroy them as they contain personal, private information. I don't want strange eyes to see. This Aurora shredder is by far the best I have ever owned. They've had previous Aurora shredders over the years, but this one holds more in the basket, the fill level is easy to see, and it's a lot quieter than its predecessors. I'm curious whether it will withstand continuous use in home use. Having only…

It was a sad story and I reluctantly returned it on credit. The motor and the cutter in it have TORQUE! It looks like a powerful device and I was very happy with it until it shut down after 8 days. There are electronic phototransistors that detect paper, and he decided to always detect. I would pop the lid right away if it weren't for the warranty case and I didn't want to break the seals. I called their tech support and they made several attempts to delete it but to no avail. I sent it back…

I had an Aurora shredder before, after many years it finally broke and it only shredded long strips so it's not that good for security but WOW this new one is literally paper shredded into confetti or less. Very satisfied. I had a lot of work destroying old documents that I had foolishly kept for decades and within a few days and an hour each day it was all gone. Loved the pull out bin and the fact that a light comes on to let you know when the bin is full. There are warning indicators for jams

A few years ago we threw away the paper shredder. We had a diary with old vital records that had to be destroyed. Now it's done. The car was easy to clean and lubricate. As recommended, I used a synthetic non-flammable aerosol lubricant. Its sight glass on the side of the bin is very practical, easy to see and much appreciated. But besides, if it overflows, the sensor will see it and shut the engine off for you. What ruined the old one was ignorance of all the above needs. But the teeth in this

I bought this to replace a much older Aurora grinder that was about 12 years old and I ground it all up. Compared to others, this one has more features designed to protect you from breakage. I understand that most people aren't very smart, so I guess that's okay. Example: The guide to how much paper can be loaded explains that a sheet of paper folded in half is equal to two pieces. Probably because someone didn't know. If you're an experienced shredder, remove staples, don't exceed the amount…
