Customers are saying

Customers commend the 8-Sheet Crosscut Paper Shredder for its compact size, ease of use, and affordability. Many appreciate its quiet operation and effective shredding performance. However, some users experienced issues with the shredder overheating and jamming, especially when shredding larger quantities of paper. The product's capacity to handle a large volume of paper needs improvement.

    Good basic shredder for home use, it is only 8 pages so not for a large amount of shredding.

    I just needed a shredder for regular mail at the house and going thru old paper work. It shreds it up completely and is fairly quiet, compared to other ones I have had in the past. It’s not too big and bulky either, fits perfectly between my chair and the wall so I don’t have to move around to shred papers as I dispose of them. I don’t try and stick 8 pages in a time, more like 3/4 as I’m going thru my stuff. Works good, I’m happy with my purchase so far !

    8 sheets at once will jam and overheat it. It shuts down frequently.

    Shreds in micro pieces. Can only take a few pages at a time so good for home or school. Small so fits next to desk out of the way.

    It’s small in size, but works good. Can’t put too much in at a time. I’ve tried putting through staples and it did that fine. I haven’t tried credit cards yet. Overall it’s pretty good.

    This is a great shredder for my home office that we had to create out of necessity. It does a great job of shredding papers individually or even 8 sheets at a time, but you can definitely hear the difference between 1 or 8 sheets. It also came with a plastic bag and lubricant sheets, which was a nice surprise. All in all, great shredded for the money and after looking at the papers after they have been shredded makes me feel better about any personal or private information from home or work being properly disposed.

    Quiet performance! Have not tried more than 2-3 sheets at a time! It appears that the slot for the paper is not large enough to insert 8 sheets!

    Shredder works fine provided you’re not shredding a large amount of paper. I think 8 sheets is a stretch. I do not shred more than 3-4 sheets at a time. Like most small shredders it will get hot and you need stop before it shuts down.

    This shredder works as advertised. In the attached video you can see it shredding a stack of 15 pages of paper, a CD, and a credit card. All seemed to work without incident. As you can see in the video it creates small cross shredded strips that will make reassembly of the original document more difficult. Stacks of documents will compress into thick strips that require some effort to separate.

    Had a shredder for many years - it was great! I guess because this is a zig zag type of shred, it makes it slower. Oh well, will get used to it
