🔪 Aurora AU840XA Professional 8-Sheet Cross-Cut Shredder with Pullout Basket Review

When you shop by price, you never know what you're getting. Our grinder works perfectly. Through trial and error, we've learned that paper shredders don't usually last very long. I hope this product proves this hypothesis wrong!

I think I should have read the size/capacity info better. The photo looks bigger than it really is. A small container the size of a trash can. Must be emptied several times a week. But it tears paper very well.

A bit short for a shredder but will handle anything you throw at it. The main attraction for me was the empty drawer. Most shredders in this price range require you to take the lid off and put it somewhere while you empty the bucket. I hated doing this with my latest Fellows shredder. For a personal shredder, he does his job. Good price for a cross chopper too.

The best part is that it's on wheels and has a drawer for emptying. Note that the paper is cut into 1 1/2 inch wide strips so they don't cross over. I agree, but someone else might think they need more reassurance.

Not a bad shredder. The only thing that bothers is a protective bar that covers the paper area. I was hoping that "cross section" meant smaller cuts of confetti paper. It has been torn into long strips and you can still read the words on the paper.

There's an annoying 'security device' that you have to tamper with every time you use it (because we're all idiots who stick our fingers in paper shredders). paper, and I have to take it out and put it back in several times before it finally takes off. simply fires without paper and requires turning off power to stop it.

This is just a replacement for an older unit that lasted 6 (yes, SIX) years and started to creak lol. Anyway, it's still a very slow and loud beast, but it gets the job done! I don't know about 6 leaves because I don't even think you could get that many leaves in a very small slot. The company that sells this is superb and even took care of shipping before it was shipped. The only reason for four stars instead of five is that it's nowhere near as good as many other more expensive shredders, so…
