Customers are saying

Customers regard the On Guard 8-Sheet Crosscut Shredder favorably for its strong shredding performance and good value, finding it easy to use and compact. However, some users experienced issues with the device overheating quickly and noted that it can be loud and have a small, less sturdy bin. The shredder's effectiveness is a key positive, but its durability and noise level are points of concern for some customers.

    If you shred documents as soon as you get them, this shredder might be the one for you. If you let those documents accumulate for a week or two then this one won't do the job. It has an LED on the top to indicate when the motor gets to hot. When that light goes on, the motor stops until it cools down. You can expect that light to come on after only a few minutes of shredding.

    Not for large volume shedding at a time

    Do not go by the name and the number of 8 pieces of paper at a time. You can not even put 3 pieces of paper at a time since it wrinkles up because the feeding slot is so small, and it jams. Also, it is hard to get the top back on the bucket. If not on perfect, it will not run and it takes time to get it just right. Look for some other shredder if you have large volumes to shred at one time.

    This shredder overheats within 5 minutes of usage. It is made very cheap also. Spend the extra money for something much better

    This shredder shreds the paper much smaller than my old one. It takes less garbage bags to fill up. Would recommend to anyone looking for a efficient shredder.

    New and it overheated to the point of burning up doing light papers and envelopes. Had to unplug and let cool for awhile in between and only shreddeed bank statements, not even the count limit it says you can do.

    It doesn’t jam like the other ones I’ve had in the past. Just a pain to clean when it gets full.
