AmazonBasics Paper and Credit-Card Shredder for Home or Office
Cross-Cut Shredder
More secure than a strip-cut shredder, this AmazonBasics cross-cut paper shredder slices through documents diagonally in both directions, turning sheets of paper into small paper particles. It can accommodate multi-page documents, and there’s no need to remove staples or small paper clips first.
Destroys Confidential Info
Perfect for home or office, the cross-cut shredder works well for destroying pay stubs, bills, receipts, bank statements, medical records, and other private documents or personal data.
Shreds More Than Just Paper
There’s no need to remove staples or small paper clips from documents, and the shredder not only shreds paper, but it also eats through CDs*, DVDs*, and credit cards, rendering them useless for ultimate peace of mind.
Easy Start
In Auto (on) mode, shredding begins once the machine detects something to be shredded, and then it stops automatically when shredding is complete. Shredded paper drops conveniently down into the collection bin below.
Reverse Function
The Reverse function makes it possible to retrieve un-shredded or partially shredded documents, plus helps prevent paper from getting stuck, making it easier to avoid frustrating paper jams.
Thermal Protection with Auto Shut-Off
The shredder will automatically shut off to protect the motor if it runs continuously beyond its maximum run time and begins to over-heat.
Reviews
1. I had several file cabinets worth of shredding to accomplish over a weekend. II was concerned that it would overheat, but it worked like a champ! I shredded about 10-12 bins worth in one day and it NEVER overheated! It did jam a few times when I pushed the 12-sheet limit, but I was able to get that resolved.
2. The shredder does exactly what it says it will do and if you jam it, it's probably your own fault. This is great for destroying mail or personal information in moderation. This product would not work for politicians attempting to hide unscrupulous campaign finance histories.
3. Pretty thrilled with this shredder right now ! I was suspicious at first and considered sending it back because it had shreds in the bottom of the drawer already like someone had used it and sent it back. Instead, I opted to try it first. I had a completely full 15 gallon garbage bag of financial documents in the corner of my bedroom that I had been unable to shred with my old super slow shredder that would shut down after 2-3 minutes of use. So, I commenced shredding, and shred, and shred and shred, nonstop, until the entire bag was finished ! This shredder is definitely KING of shredders, IMO, for the price ! VERY happy !
