Bonsaii Paper Shredder, 8-Sheet Crosscut Shredder with 4.2 Gallon Bin Shred Credit Card/Mail/Staple/Clip, P-4 Security Level Document Shredder with Handle for Home Office (C261-C)

My husband says it works great and it is a quality shredder. It’s easy to use and he likes the size of it in his office. Great shredder.

I find the small size convenient. Not very powerful/may consider it slow, but it does the job. I love the micro cut. Only drawback, in my opinion, is that an 8 1/2 x 11 paper has to be placed perfectly in the slot for shredding—no wiggle room.

It only easily takes about 3-4 pages at a time, so you must be patient. It will stop working after several minutes to allow cooling off. It works for junk mail shredding. It did shred a credit card once. It’s not for a working office. The price was commensurate with its ability to function as an occasional use shredder.

Works good I like the fact if it gets to hot. It will shut down and won't run until it cools off. Its made that way so the motor doesn't burn up.

The media could not be loaded. Let me start by saying that I received a brand-new model with the foam blocks and all. Box looked to be untouched. Some people complained about receiving a used model, not my case.So this is a really nice shredder, especially for the price! I cannot believe that shredders are so expensive.. but security these days is a must! Please don’t throw away your papers as is, invest in a shredder!!First, the appearance. It looks like your everyday office appliance BUT it’s attractive! I know some companies try to set their products apart from others and ‘pop’.. but they’re so ugly! This one is simple and streamline. The shred level window is really useful! Once the paper reaches the top of it, it’s time to empty into a bag! You’d swear it costs WAY more than just 32 bucks! I wouldn’t mind leaving this one out in plain sight although.. someone might steal it! So hide it!Speaking of hiding it.. it’s a nice size. Big enough to shred a lot, small enough to hide it!Second, instructions. Very simple booklet came with the shredder. The Amazon product description says you can shred credit cards, but the booklet says you SHOULD NOT shred credit cards. I shredded a couple of insurance cards, no problem. Just don’t stick anything TOO thick in there. Remember guys, you get what you pay for! Don’t complain if it breaks! Honestly though, it chewed through it like a Toyota Land Cruiser in mud. Smooth.Third, Performance. This thing shreds FAST! It’ll go through a sheet of paper in just 4-5 seconds. The machine comes pre-lubed but make sure you buy some oil and give it the love it needs every 500-800 sheets or 3 months. Remember folks, this is a SIX SHEET shredder, make sure you don’t choke it up! I haven’t had a single slow-down, jam, or overheat and I’m going through a dump load of personal info. I’m talking more than 500 sheets! Also, it does cross cut very well. This one doesn’t have those ejecting blades, rather, the cross cutting is built into the rows of blades in the form of spikes. Talk about reliable design in a compact package!The shredder is not loud, but don’t use it in a quiet place where people might be sleeping. It’s quiet in the day, but loud at night if that makes sense. It’s a shredder! What do you expect!Fourth, safety. The paper insert slit is deep, so your kids’ fingers won’t reach the blades. Still, keep it away from them as when the shredder is lifted, the blades are exposed and can really turn into an ugly situation. Don’t attempt to clean the blades with your fingers, I almost cut myself. Use a brush or gently pick out the excess paper using a spring-loaded needle nose plier. Remember: it’s a machine, NOT a toy!!Fifth: energy savings. If you’re looking for this, go burn your papers. Paper shredders aren’t really that efficient in general.Please do not attempt to make a salad with this machine. It’s not for any kind of organic materials.

Works great, a great price

I like everything about this shredder, minus one irritation that I didn't feel was worth dropping a whole star for.Because the bottom collection basket doesn't need to be anything more than lightweight plastic, 95% of the device's weight is in the removable top section (where the actual shredder motor and blades are). This top section doesn't attach to the basket below it with any sort of latch or hook, but instead tapers slightly and sits just atop and inside the basket. Because of how top heavy it is, it's easier to tip over than I'd really like it to be. And because the top doesn't latch and is just resting on the lip of the basket, if (...when...) it gets knocked over you'll find yourself spending the next 15 minutes cleaning the fantastically well shredded paper that's now all over your floor.If you have pets that are likely to investigate this (two of the times I've cleaned up shredded paper from the floor) or you're clumsy and prone to tripping over things (the other time I had to clean up shredded paper, lol), I'd suggest tucking it into a corner when not in use, or emptying it each time you finish shredding things.To be clear, I've never felt like this was a problem during normal use, and it's just an annoyance rather than a real "problem". Outside of that, I have absolutely no complaints about this device at all! It shreds incredibly well, handles the amount of paper it claims it can, and isn't even especially loud! (it's not "quiet", but it's much quieter than the shredders I've used in the past). I'm not shredding all that much, just typical household bills and credit card offers, but I've filled the basket 3 times at least and it seems to be holding up just fine, and by not pushing it to shred as much and as fast as possible I've never even seen the overheat warning others have talked about.Overall I like this shredder, just be mindful of where you leave it sitting if you don't plan on cleaning your floors today!

The shredder itself is good. It’s a little noisy, but that doesn’t bother me. My only issue is with the informational stickers on the shredder. They tore apart in the absolute worst way leaving a significant amount of terrible, gunky residue. I was able to get it off with 91% iso and a LOT of scrubbing, but it wasn’t ideal. Aside from that, the shredder works just fine.
