Customers are saying

Customers praise the On Guard 12-Sheet Crosscut Shredder for its excellent shredding quality and ease of use. Some users noted that the unit can be loud and that the wastebasket could be larger. A few customers reported overheating issues, particularly when shredding large volumes of paper. However, the automatic shutoff feature mitigated this concern for some users.

    Nice unit. Easy to use. Generates a lot of heat at times and shuts down to allow itself to cool. Relatively easy to clear paper jams.

    Love this shredder. Shreds effortlessly, with no jams. Like the handle and the red tab features. Also like that the cord attaches at the top of the machine, instead of at the bottom, like the other shredders I've had in the past. Good buy for the money.

    Best I could get for the value...at this price your normally not getting one that can do credit cards but this one can and they’re trying to be innovative I guess cause I flip the side switches and can compress all the build up

    We previously purchased a different brand. It kept overheating after about 15 minutes of use and had to cool down over 30 minutes to resume. Have used this one for longer times and so far no overheating. Better value for only a few dollars more. Excellent choice.
