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.

    Thought this sounded like a nice shredder actually it kind of cheap and jambs a lot especially underneath blades, have used lube sheets doesn’t help a lot. Guess I am used to it now but probably will not buy this brand again.

    This is the best shedder I've owned. Heavy construction, and even works with lighter weight papers.

    Great value for the price. Being able to use the lid to compress the bin before dumping greatly reduces mess. Bin full sensor is very helpful to prevent overloading and jamming.

    12 sheet crosscut shredder is the best shredder I have brought. I am very pleased with it. It is a little loud, but I suspect it is because the motor is powerful.

    Not all the previous reviews are also true. I started shredding with 4 pages each, after 15 minutes shredder stopped due to jammed and stuck papers. I had to pull small pieces which is not good as the papers were stuck by the blades. After clearing, and motor had cooled, started again and used for 20 mins. Shredder stopped as it needs to cool. It took me longer removing the jammed and stuck paper rather than the actual usage. Only good thing is the handle, but also heavy hence stuck with me but I will return soon. Also, if you put any plastic for easy removal of waste paper the sensor is somehow blocked hence it wont start. Inconvenient.

    The manufacturer does not even have a website. First danger sign. It shreds at most up to five pages at a time without clogging. 12 sheets? No way. Constant clogging, even using lubricating sheets. It broke down completely just over a month after delivery. BestBuy will not help with information on sending it back to the manufacturer for repair under the shredder's warranty.

    This cross-cut shredder does everything it promises, it is made of heavy duty materials and will take up to 12 sheets as it promises.
