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.

I work in accounting and usually have a lot of client receipts and statements to shred. I burned through about a shredder every other year, lucky for shredder makers. Pros: Heavy duty, feels solid The handle is great when the shred container is full The crisscross output meets security needs One person office doesn't require constant emptying Not one paper jam so far! Cons: Kinda loud, not awful, but not quiet either It's heavier than you'd think Doesn't have wheels, but I put it on a rolling plant stand On 8/22/21 so far so good!

I really like this shredder! Thinking of getting another one in fact. It is very inexpensive and works well. I’m not one to fuss about how many sheets at a time I can feed into it. And I don’t know if it can do as many sheets at a time as it claims. I usually don’t feed more than 4 or 5 at a time anyway. What I mostly like about it is the slot feeds easily and it doesn’t have a pull out drawer to empty it. To empty it you just unplug, lift the shredder top out and empty the bin. It also will allow you to compress the shreds down when the bin gets toward full. Then you can shred more before you have to empty. For as inexpensive as it is, I think it is far better than any shredder I’ve ever owned prior to this.

Purchased on line in midst of virus "lockdown." When it arrived, it was missing a very important part - the power cord! Was also missing the owner manual. Called the Best Buy 800 number, but hold time was more than 1 hour. So I improvised. Had a power cord to a portable radio that fit the shredder & used that. Having had a shredder in the past, the lack of an owners manual was somewhat minor. So I plugged it in & so far this shredder is meeting my expectations. Have used it several times, since I have lots of paper (old bills, insurance docs, etc) that need disposal & it's doing the job. Like the handle since it makes it easy to separate the shredder from the bin to empty the bin. The plunger part helps to compact the contents of the bin as well. I also bought the bin liners & lubricant paper. The bin liners are great. Even though I didn't have a user manual, I was able to register the purchase with the manufacturer. I advised them that there was no power cord, but never received a response. Maybe you have to buy the power cord separately?? I'd recommend this shredder as long as it has the power cord included!
