Customers are saying

Customers often highlight the compact size and excellent shredding quality of the 6-Sheet Microcut Paper Shredder, praising its ability to create tiny, unrecognizable pieces and its ease of use. However, some users mention the shredder's tendency to overheat after relatively short periods of use, requiring a significant cooling-down time before it can be used again. The convenient handle is also frequently noted as a positive feature.

    BestBuy came through with fast shipping and no hassle returns on this order which was returned after a few hours use. Unit worked as if under constant strain despite using just four sheets (the maximum is 6). We could tell instantly that it would not last. Would NOT recommend. Paid $XXX for a an AU***A branded shredder at another major retailer. Would have bought it from BestBuy but they don't carry that brand.

    The shredder stopped working. I can hear the sound from motor but the blades arent rotating. I am trying to reach the Manufacturer. Hoping for some solution.

    This shredder is good for mail everyday mail but for big jobs you will need a bigger model.

    Pros: light enough to move around, the handle on top makes it easy to empty the bin and the best feature that I like is the micro cut which makes it secure enough for shredding. Con: it only has a 2 minutes run time and 30 minutes cool down period so make sure do not pile up too much papers on the to be shred bin.

    This shredder overheated quite easily. First time it happen I thought it was my fault and it took about an hour for it to cool. The next time I started to shred I only put 2 sheets of paper in it at a time. It still overheated and took so long to cool. I let it cool for hours and really limit what I shredded. Every trial it still overheated quickly. I plan on returning this shredder and buy another brand.
