AuroraAU1010MA High-Security 10-Sheet Micro-Cut Paper, Credit Card Shredder, Large 5.2-Gals Basket with Easy Lifting Handle

I waited for several months before reviewing this shredder. It is very impressive. As noted in the description, it shreds things into very small pieces which can't be reconstructed which is great. The size is just right....not to large and easy to keep near my chair. The paper is shredded into such small pieces that it fits a lot of material into the waste bin. I had a bad experience with my previous shredder: As one would expect, ocassionally a metalic object is mixed with the shredded paper and jams the mechanism. For most shredders, this is a problem as you have to disassemble the shredder input to relieve the jam. This can't be done with most shredders. However, the top of the Aurora shredder gives access so you can remove metailic jams. Also, it is very convenient that you can insert a large wad of paper in the top feeder and let the shredder do it's thing...Very cool. I am really very impressed with this device. It was well designed and thought out. I didn't rate the customer service cause I didn't have to use them....All is good.

Nice and quiet and really love how it just shredded the stack like it was nothing.

Awesome and sturdy

If you ever need to shred a significant amount of documents at home, it's hard to beat a shredder like this with a document feeder, so you can feed in a big pile of pages and walk away. Yes, it will take a while, but you don't have to baby-sit it and keep feeding it small bundles by hand.The micro-shredding means you never have to worry about how documents are oriented--you're pretty much guaranteed no information in a document will be coherent once the shredder is done. As a bonus, the paper shreds are so small that you can go for a long time without emptying the bin.The only down-side for me is, although the shredder itself is capable of dealing with staples and a fair number of pages at once using the hand-feed slot, the document feeder feeds one-sheet-at-a-time with no stapled pages allowed, so it may take a little prep before you can leave the machine by itself to shred large, multi-page documents. At least you have the option...

It’s compact, the lid lifts off to empty, it easily does 8-10 sheets, does credit cards and can continuously run for over an hour. Love the confetti shred for privacy. Worth the money I paid. I shred 4 - 30 gallon bags worth of shredded documents over the span of 4 days and it worked like champ!

Ok I just received it, but have had other shredders in the past. Of course it may break and if it does soon I'll update my review. But loading it with a stack of papers and letting it do its thing is amazing. And it's quiet for a shredder.And you don't have to remove the top (shredder part) to pull the draw out to empty it. Not sure why people said that maybe it was a different model.

It produces 2in sprites long, this is not even P4 certified. The 1st delivery had a broken gear which felt inside the bin at the first use and making weird clong noise. The second one had a broken plastic piece in the bin, there are obviously some small parts traveling inside the head you can hear when turning around the heavy beast... I stop here, I will not order a 3rd one... I'm done. This is weak material even if it's super heavy, and the 2in cuts are not acceptable for a supposed P5. On the picture you can see the metal gear bit and 2 examples of 2in cuts.

Nice looking and sturdy. Relatively quiet operation. You can spend a lot for money on other products with more features but this shredder hits the marks at a relatively good price

He usado esta cortadora frecuentemente y reduce el papel a fragmentos tan pequeños que es imposible practicamente imposible reconstruir los originales. Me ha sido muy útil. Si se siguen las instrucciones el funcionamiento es el anunciado. Una compra que valio la pena.

Heavy top. Did not work at all. Had to return it. Poor design.

excellent

Works well

El cabezal es un poco pesado; sin embargo, cumple con su trabajo al 100%, hemos puesto varias hojas sin exceder el límite permitido durante cierto tiempo y lo ha hecho bastante bien, también se ha utilizado para triturar tarjetas de crédito y todo perfecto. El hecho de hacerlo en cuadros en vez de tiras da mayor seguridad de privacidad. Considero que es una buena compra y opción respecto a otras más caras que hay en el mercado, la recomiendo completamente.
