Summary: Good little shredder |
| |
Aside from the over-the-top "we're greener than thou" packaging (a serious case of greenwashing), this is a good, solid shredder. It chops stuff up good, OK? ;o) That's what this kind of shredder (vs. the Buckethead kind of shredder) is supposed to do - whether it has a long life is anybody's guess (I've gone through a couple others already over the years). It was very easy to put together, and the bin is made out of fabric, so it packages up quite a bit smaller than it otherwise might (thus the claim of "green" - yeesh). Yes it would be nice if it were a "diamond cut" that chopped everything up in to itty-bitty pieces but it says "crosscut", OK? That's what it is! And that's why it's less expensive than the others. It was a great deal on gold box when I bought it - less so now.

Summary: Great shredder for the baby's room or nursery |
| |
If you need a quiet shredder for the baby's room this is perfect. It is very quiet. But as a shredder system it has its downfalls. It gets one star from me because it claims to be Professional. The word is in the title. It isn't professional grade. But it is quiet.
For a personal use shredder this might be okay. Especially if your use is very low. But for our office this shredder is just not easy to enough to use to make it a keeper. If it had a bigger basket, probably. Why not make it twice as tall, it could be done for under a dollar?
First, the positives:
1-The shredder itself is good enough, and quiet.
2-It has a small footprint, and it's quiet.
3-Could be stored in a cabinet and only brought out when Fawn Hall visits. And it's quiet.
Now the not so positives:
1-The shredder itself is good enough, but chokes on 12 sheets. This was day one. It shredded some files and did okay. And it's quiet.
2-It claims the basket holds up to 280 sheets of shredded paper. Here are the numbers to remember; 30, 20, and 10. Ours usually shuts down after 25 to 35 sheets of paper and you have to tamp down the shredded paper inside. The second time it does it after 15 to 20 pages, cause remember, the basket already has a lump of shredded paper in it. The third time it quits after 10 or 15 sheets, and it's time to empty the basket. That's not anything near 280 pages of shredded paper. But it's quiet.
3-The basket does fold for shipping, but because it's cheaply made and bendy it isn't smooth getting it in and out of the shredder rack. But it's quiet.
4-It claims to be a confetti shredder. If so, that is the largest confetti ever. It's a crosscut shredder, nothing close to a micro cut.
5-It doesn't like shredding CDs. It rejected half of the ones we put in it, just sent them back up. Destroyed, pretty well, but not shredded.
For a personal use shredder this might be okay. Especially if your use is very low. But for our office this shredder is just not easy to enough to use to make it a keeper. If it had a bigger basket, probably. Why not make it twice as tall, it could be done for under a dollar? And quietly.

Great shredder. very sturdy and very quiet compared to most. I received this missing a piece and the Aurora costumer service sent me the piece with proof of receipt. Excellent product and customer service.

Summary: Excellent shredder for the price |
| |
Compared with other shredders that we've had, this one does an excellent job and the noise level is about average. It easily shreds several sheets at a time and the basket is easy to empty. It's not a micro-shredder, but the pieces are fairly small-- someone would have to love puzzles to put your document back together.

Summary: Shreds nicely - small opening |
| |
This shredder shreds very nicely, and the basket is easy to pull out and dump (it would be difficult to put a bag in it, as it slides into a slot). It doesn't leave a path of messy shredded bits all over the floor like my last one.
Assembly was easy, and it doesn't look half bad next to my dresser (I was afraid it would look cheap, but is pretty fair). It is nice and small, so not as obvious as my older slightly wider model (which didn't really seem to hold more paper). My minor complaint is the small, not so wide, not so deep, opening. You have to direct the papers into it carefully, however, that being said, it keeps you from jamming it - so that may not truly be a negative. Overall I am pleased with this product.
