Aurora AS890C 8-Sheet Cross-Cut Paper/Credit Card Shredder with Basket

Very happy with this shredder. It'll shred 8 sheets of paper, cross cut so the pieces are small. My last shredder didn't have the credit card capability like this one does, which I really love. The basket is good sized and very easy to empty. I like that it clicks when you put the top back on so you know it's ready to go.

Does exactly what it should do - shreds paper, card stock and credit cards - and does it easily. The small container below the shredder fills quickly if you're using this on a daily basis, so just a heads up about that. To minimize the mess caused by emptying it, I lined the container with a small trash bag - it doesn't impede the operation of the shredder at all. (The shredder head has to come in contact with a specific piece of the container to operate, so don't use a thick bag.) I purchased shredder maintenance sheets (also called shredder cleaning sheets) to use once a month or so, to keep the blades sharp and lubricated - I recommend keeping them on hand if you're a heavy shredder like I am.Update: 1 year later, still going strong!Recently moved in with someone who is a bit of a paper hoarder - or was, until we started shredding. Long story made short: man living alone with hectic job schedule never threw any paper away - so receipts, bills, etc - all kept for over 5 years and just piled into bags and left sitting. Over the course of several weeks, he sorted through it to be sure it was all trash, and I started shredding. I ended up with EIGHT 33-gallon trash bags full of shredded paper. This little shredder powered through it all, even after being over a year old!Tips: You have to give this thing a break now and then, and don't overload it. It's not a commercial shredder and can only take up to 8 sheets at a time - and I've found 8 sheets is often too much, so I don't do more than 3-4 sheets at one time.Buy the Amazon Basics Shredder Lubricating/Cleaning sheets & run one of them through the shredder after you empty it 2-3 times to keep the blades sharp & running smoothly.For an inexpensive shredder, this has been a great addition to my home office, and turned out to be a real workhorse, which I wasn't expecting. Definitely recommended.

Shreds 8 sheets as described. can probably do 16 if loaded straight. Don't go over that though, Jams are difficult to clear.Fairly noisy as well. top heavy, which is probably good that the shredder part has some weight to it.

Worked for what we needed it for and use every time we need to with confidential papers and all. Jam resistant and assembled quickly as you don’t need much to know. Good size to store anywhere even over a dresser. Thick enough and you can add up to 8 pieces of paper.

Great little Shreader for the price. Works Great!

This shredder is much faster than my previous shredder. It doesn't do quite as many pages at one time as my old shredder, but is little power house. It doesn't take up much space and is perfect for my general household shredding.

Works great. I've only had it couple weeks so I don't know how long it will last at 20 bucks, but it works great doesn't jam or overheat if your careful.

Love this small shredder, Great price and good quality.
