Nice and quiet suitable for document shredders

I bought this shredder primarily for its price, with no high expectations of its performance. But this grinder exceeded all my expectations. The shredder is quiet, handles multiple pages with ease and can run continuously for up to 30 minutes as advertised. How long does this shredder last? Well, only time will tell, but for now this shredder is a real watchman.

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Good Price - Office Electronics

With so many shredders to choose from, it was difficult to find a balance between features and cost. I chose this Aurora micro shredder for privacy reasons. And a decent value for the features. It's fairly quiet for a shredder and the eight-sheet limit is acceptable. I can set up a kitchen waste bag to collect the pellets. I don't have to read that I had to literally lift the on/off housing to dump or empty the contents. Not as convenient as quickly pulling out the bin to empty. As in my…

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • Hard to remember but it was

Nice and quiet in office electronics

So far so good. I never fill it with papers at once, so I can't say the maximum that can be ripped at once. I usually glue 3-4 pieces at a time. I like that it's quieter than traditional shredders. Looks good in white. I like to pull out the drawer instead of taking off the heavy lid to empty it. It's not as big as the one in the office, so sometimes I need to empty it a little more often, but I don't usually have that much shredding at once. I do a lot of cleaning and then usually only a few…

Pros
  • Worth your money
Cons
  • Security

My fiancΓ© is jealous!

So I bought this brand of chopper because my fiancΓ© has one. He has something like AU820MA. He loves it and I was considering getting one like his as it has the same micro cut and is cheaper. But I have it because it's WHITE! Haha My office is very dark so I light it up with a white desk, a white air purifier and now a white chopper and it looks AWESOME! The bonus is that it's on wheels, quiet and the front door opens! The shredder head is quite heavy and difficult to lift and remove the…

Pros
  • Easy Install
Cons
  • Secret

Great first impression

Received it today but I'm impressed with the look and feel of the car - it's nicer and a little more reliable than our (other manufacturer) predecessor that we've had to have for a decade . I wasn't trying to spend hundreds of dollars on a shredder, but I didn't want to waste money on something cheap that would break in a year or two. at least 4 stars in the general rating, there is a pull-out basket, you can shred credit cards. Only time will tell if this holds up - we basically only shred…

Pros
  • A dream come true
Cons
  • Flaws

Quiet and reliable shredders

I had an Aurora shredder 12-15 years ago that ran about a year ago. I needed a new one and decided on this one. 14 sheets of paper? Yes, it will, but most of the time I just shred junk mail and old credit cards. My previous one was transverse. This skins into the p4 microcut. Much better than my predecessor. Huge bin that slides out easily to empty and is quiet compared to my old one. It will also work for a long time. My previous one lasted about six minutes continuously before you had to wait

Pros
  • Useful for more than what they intended
Cons
  • Infinitely slow
