Review on πŸ”’ Enhance Security with the Amazon Basics 8-Sheet High-Security Micro-Cut Shredder by William Pacino

Revainrating 5 out of 5

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 it jammed badly because a piece of plastic I didn't notice messed up the work. It was an adhesive on the plastic rather than the plastic itself. I cleaned it and it's working again. It's not something that needs to be ground first, so I didn't see that as a negative. Heck I tried to put a CD/DVD in and it only went about 2 inches before it got stuck and had to turn over. It was obviously useless after that, but I didn't chew it all up. Everything else I have so far has worked great. I also like the window view of the basket and I find it's big enough that I don't have to worry about constantly emptying it. It also fits well and is made of good quality plastic for my purposes. I recommend buying it and luckily I paid a little more for this model. Please let me know if this review helped you.
